The AR9300 and later descriptors are 128 bytes, however I'd like to make
sure that isn't used for earlier chips.
* Populate the TX descriptor length field in the softc with
sizeof(ath_desc)
* Use this field when allocating the TX descriptors
* Pre-AR93xx TX/RX descriptors will use the ath_desc size; newer ones will
query the HAL for these sizes.
The function keys on a Microsoft Natural Egronomic Keyboard 4000 have been
repurposed as "Help", "Undo", "Redo" etc., and a special "F Lock" key is
required to return them to their normal purpose.
This change enables the UQ_KBD_BOOTPROTO quirk for the MS Natural 4000
keyboard to get the keys working again. More extensive changes to the USB
keyboard infrastructure would be needed to fully support the "F Lock" mode
and the extended keys on this keyboard.

Although the TX DMA descriptor is setup via ath_desc_alloc() /

sized TX descriptor.
This is required for the AR93xx EDMA support which requires 128 byte
TX descriptors (which is significantly larger than the earlier
hardware.)
For now, the only module implement is 'sample', and that's only partially
implemented. The main issue here with reusing this structure in userland
is that it uses 'rix' everywhere, which requires the userland code to
have access to the current HAL rate table.
For now, this is a very large work in progress.
Specific details:
* The rate control information is per-node at the moment and wrapped
in a TLV, to ease parsing and backwards compatibility.
* .. but so I can be slack for now, the userland statistics are just
a copy of the kernel-land sample node state.
* However, for now use a temporary copy and change the rix entries
to dot11rate entries to make it slightly easier to eyeball.
Problems:
* The actual rate information table is unfortunately indexed by rix
and it doesn't contain a rate code. So the userland side of this
currently has no way to extract out a mapping.
TODO:
* Add a TLV payload to dump out the rate control table mapping so
'rix' can be turned into a dot11 / MCS rate.
* .. then remove the temporary copy.
data introduced in r236061. Using that flag doesn't make that much
sense on this case as the DMA maps using it are also created during
sym_pci_attach(). Moreover, due to the maxsegsz parameter used, doing
so may exhaust the bounce pages pool on architectures requiring
bounce pages. [1]
While at it, use a slightly more appropriate maxsegsz parameter.

TX descriptor link pointers.
This is required for the AR93xx and later chipsets.
The RX path is slightly different - the legacy RX path directly
accesses ath_desc->ds_link for now, however this isn't at all done
for EDMA (FIFO) RX.
Now, for those performing a little software archeology here:
This is all a bit sub-optimal. "struct ath_desc" is only really relevant
for the pre-AR93xx NICs - where ds_link and ds_data is always in the
same location.
The AR93xx and later NICs have different descriptor layouts altogether.
Now, for AR93xx and later NICs, you should never directly reference
ds_link and ds_data, as:
* the RX descriptors don't have either - the data is _after_ the RX
descriptor. They're just one large buffer. There's also no need for
a per-descriptor RX buffer size as they're all fixed sizes.
* the TX descriptors have 4 buffer and 4 length fields _and_ a link
pointer. Each frame takes up one TX FIFO pointer, but it can contain
multiple subframes (either multiple frames in a buffer, and/or
multiple frames in an aggregate/RIFS burst.)
* .. so, when TX frames are queued to a hardware queue, the link
pointer is ONLY for buffers in that frame/aggregate. The next frame
starts in a new FIFO pointer.
* Finally, descriptor completion status is in a different ring.
I'll write something up about that when its time to do so.
This was inspired by Linux ath9k and the reference driver but is a
reimplementation.

The DMA FIFO chips (AR93xx and later) differ slightly to th elegacy
chips:
* The RX DMA descriptors don't have a ds_link field;
* The TX DMA descriptors have a ds_link field however at a different
offset.
This is a reimplementation based on what the reference driver and ath9k
does.
A subsequent commit will enable it in the TX and beacon paths.

The AR9003 series NICs implement a separate RX error to signal that a
Keycache miss occured. The earlier NICs would not set the key index
valid bit.
I'll dig into the difference between "no key index bit set" and "keycache
miss".
* wrap the RX proc calls in the RX refcount;
* call the DFS checking, fast frames staging and TX rescheduling if
required.

* figure out if I can just make "do TX rescheduling" mean "schedule

with fresh descriptors, before handling the frames.
Wrap it all in the RX locks.
Since the FIFO is very shallow (16 for HP, 128 for LP) it needs to be
drained and replenished very quickly. Ideally, I'll eventually move this
RX FIFO drain/fill into the interrupt handler, only deferring the actual
frame completion.
I was setting up the RX EDMA buffer to be 4096 bytes rather than the
RX data buffer portion. The hardware was likely getting very confused
and DMAing descriptor portions into places it shouldn't, leading to
memory corruption and occasional panics.
Whilst here, don't bother allocating descriptors for the RX EDMA case.
We don't use those descriptors. Instead, just allocate ath_buf entries.
... from a user-set persistent limit on the said level.
Allow to set the user-imposed limit below current deepest available level
as the available levels may be dynamically changed by ACPI platform
in both directions.
Allow "Cmax" as an input value for cx_lowest sysctls to mean that there
is not limit and OS can use all available C-states.
Retire global cpu_cx_count as it no longer serves any meaningful
purpose.

PCI:
- Properly handle interrupt fallback from MSIX to MSI to legacy.
The host may not have sufficient resources to support MSIX,
so we must be able to fallback to legacy interrupts.
- Add interface to get the (sub) vendor and device IDs.
- Rename flags to VTPCI_FLAG_* like other VirtIO drivers.
Block:
- No longer allocate vtblk_requests from separate UMA zone.
malloc(9) from M_DEVBUF is sufficient. Assert segment counts
at allocation.
- More verbose error and debug messages.
Network:
- Remove stray write once variable.
Virtqueue:
- Shuffle code around in preparation of converting the mb()s to
the appropriate atomic(9) operations.
- Only walk the descriptor chain when freeing if INVARIANTS is
defined since the result is only KASSERT()ed.

the FIFO.
I still see some corner cases where no RX occurs when it should be
occuring. It's quite possible that there's a subtle race condition
somewhere; or maybe I'm not programming the RX queues right.
There's also no locking here yet, so any reset/configuration path
state change (ie, enabling/disabling receive from the ioctl, net80211
taskqueue, etc) could quite possibly confuse things.
