have its MTU set higher than 1500 (ETHERMTU). Its new limit is now
65535 as enforced by ifhwioctl() in if.c
This allows a tap(4) device to be added to a bridge, which requires all
interface members to have the same MTU, with an interface configured for
jumbo frames. QEMU may now connect to a network via tap(4) without
requiring the real interface to have its MTU set to 1500 or lower.

avoidance:
- Enable setting the RXCSUM and TXCSUM flags for loopback interfaces;
set both by default.
- When RXCSUM is set, flag packets sent over the loopback interface as
having checked and valid IP, UDP, TCP checksums so that higher
protocol layers won't check them.
- Always clear CSUM_{IP,UDP_TCP} checksum required flags on transmit,
as they will have gotten there as a result of TXCSUM being set.
This is done only for packets explicitly sent over the loopback, not
simulated loopback via if_simloop() due to !SIMPLEX interfaces, etc.
Note that enabling TXCSUM but not RXCSUM will lead to unhappiness, as
checksums won't be generated but will be validated.
Kris reports that this leads to significant performance improvements
in loopback benchmarking with TCP and UDP for throughput:
RXCSUM RXCSUM+TXCSUM
TCP 15% 37%
UDP 10% 74%

in FreeBSD 5.x to allow network device drivers to run with Giant
despite the network stack being Giant-free. This significantly
simplifies calls into ioctl() on network interfaces, especially
in the multicast code, as well as eliminates deferred invocation
of interface if_start routines.
Disable the build on device drivers still depending on
IFF_NEEDSGIANT as they no longer compile. They will be removed
in a few weeks if they haven't been made MPSAFE in that time.
Disabled drivers:
if_ar
if_axe
if_aue
if_cdce
if_cue

certain flags that should have been in inp_flags ended up in inp_vflag,
meaning that they were inconsistently locked, and in one case,
interpreted. Move the following flags from inp_vflag to gaps in the
inp_flags space (and clean up the inp_flags constants to make gaps
more obvious to future takers):
INP_TIMEWAIT
INP_SOCKREF
INP_ONESBCAST
INP_DROPPED
Some aspects of this change have no effect on kernel ABI at all, as these
are UDP/TCP/IP-internal uses; however, netstat and sockstat detect
INP_TIMEWAIT when listing TCP sockets, so any MFC will need to take this
into account.

scheduling the resetting thread on each cpu in succession. Since all
lock profiling happens within a critical section this guarantees that
all cpus have left lock profiling before we clear the datastructures.
- Assert that the per-thread queue of locks lock profiling is aware of
is clear on thread exit. There were several cases where this was not
true that slows lock profiling and leaks information.
- Remove all objects from all lists before clearing any per-cpu
information in reset. Lock profiling objects can migrate between

C-NET(PC) has a cfe at location 1 that has both an odd irq mask (it
matches pc98 machines, so maybe it was a flag for pc98 operation) as
well as a memory map. Since this driver doesn't know how to cope, we
start with cfe2, which is purely an I/O space mapped and that seems to
make it work. I say 'seems' here, because the card I have doesn't
seem to have the right dongle for full testing...

Because of this bug, even if the given rules were incorrect, they

improve performance:
- Eliminate custom reference count and condition variable to monitor
threads entering the framework, as this had both significant overhead
and behaved badly in the face of contention.
- Replace reference count with two locks: an rwlock and an sx lock,
which will be read-acquired by threads entering the framework
depending on whether a give policy entry point is permitted to sleep
or not.
- Replace previous mutex locking of the reference count for exclusive
access with write acquiring of both the policy list sx and rw locks,
which occurs only when policies are attached or detached.
- Do a lockless read of the dynamic policy list head before acquiring
any locks in order to reduce overhead when no dynamic policies are
loaded; this a race we can afford to lose.
- For every policy entry point invocation, decide whether sleeping is
permitted, and if not, use a _NOSLEEP() variant of the composition
macros, which will use the rwlock instead of the sxlock. In some
cases, we decide which to use based on allocation flags passed to the
MAC Framework entry point.
As with the move to rwlocks/rmlocks in pfil, this may trigger witness
warnings, but these should (generally) be false positives as all
acquisition of the locks is for read with two very narrow exceptions
for policy load/unload, and those code blocks should never acquire
other locks.

(1) Fix pcib_read/write_config prototypes.
(2) When contrainting a resource request for a 'subtractive' bridge,
it is important to select a range outside the base/limit
registers, since those are the only values known to not
possibly work. On my HP laptop, the base bridge excludes I/O
ports 0xa000-0xafff, however that was the range we were passing
up the tree. Instead, when a range spans the "hole" we now
arbitrarily pick the range just above the hole to allocate from.
All of my rl and xl cards, at a minimum, started working again on this
laptop with those fixes.
