to devices like voip phones.

sparc64 GENERIC and the sound device drivers known working on sparc64
to use bus_get_dma_tag() to obtain the parent DMA tag so we can get rid
of the sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge eventually. Except for ath(4), sk(4),
stge(4) and ti(4) these changes are runtime tested (unless I booted up
the wrong kernels again...).
o eliminate assumptions that half/quarter rate channels on exist in 11a
o handle frequency mapping between hal and net80211; hal gives us freq's
in the range 2422..2437 that we remap
MFC after: 1 month
o change handling of regdomain-related mib knobs so they can be set
post-attach: regdomain, countrycode, outdoor, and xchanmode; the
hal will not permit changing the regdomain but we expose it for now
o on regdomain/countrycode change recalculate the channel list and
push it to the net80211 layer (NB: looks to need more tweaking)
o setup rate tables for half/quarter rate channels
o honor half/quarter rate channel configs when changing channels
o honor half/quarter rate channel configs when setting the slot time
o use hack/nonstandard channel numbering scheme for the public safety
band to avoid overlapping 2.4G channels on dual-band cards
o remove setup of ic_sup_rates; the net80211 layer can do this for us
and it simplifies handling of half/quarter rate channels
Tested only in Public Safety Band with cards that have RF5112.
o no more ds_vdata in tx/rx descriptors
o split h/w tx/rx descriptor from s/w status
o as part of the descriptor split change the rate control module api
so the ath_buf is passed in to the module so it can fetch both
descriptor and status information as needed
o add some const poisoning
Also for sample rate control algorithm:
o split debug msgs (node, rate, any)
o uniformly bounds check rate indices (and in some cases correct checks)
o move array index ops to after bounds checking
o use final tsi from the status block instead of the h/w descriptor
o replace h/w descriptor struct's with proper mask+shift defs (this
doesn't belong here; everything is known by the driver and should
just be sent down so there's no h/w-specific knowledge)

part of the hal distribution early on when the hal was built for
each os but it's been portable for a long time so move the os-specific
code out (and off the vendor branch)
o correct the copyright on ah_osdep.?; it was mistakenly given a
restricted license and not a dual-bsd/gpl license
o remove the module api definition as it was never used
o fixup include paths for move of ah_osdep.h

o include current tx rate in stats so athstats gets a consistent
snapshot and doesn't have to make an extra ioctl
o record tx rate for raw frames

stations in power save: add a new q where mcast frames are stashed
and on beacon update (at DTIM) move frames from the mcast q to the
cabq and start it. This ensures the cabq is only manipulated in
one place.

(1) bpf peer attaches to interface netif0
(2) Packet is received by netif0
(3) ifp->if_bpf pointer is checked and handed off to bpf
(4) bpf peer detaches from netif0 resulting in ifp->if_bpf being
initialized to NULL.
(5) ifp->if_bpf is dereferenced by bpf machinery
(6) Kaboom
This race condition likely explains the various different kernel panics
reported around sending SIGINT to tcpdump or dhclient processes. But really
this race can result in kernel panics anywhere you have frequent bpf attach
and detach operations with high packet per second load.
Summary of changes:
- Remove the bpf interface's "driverp" member
- When we attach bpf interfaces, we now set the ifp->if_bpf member to the
bpf interface structure. Once this is done, ifp->if_bpf should never be
NULL. [1]
- Introduce bpf_peers_present function, an inline operation which will do
a lockless read bpf peer list associated with the interface. It should
be noted that the bpf code will pickup the bpf_interface lock before adding
or removing bpf peers. This should serialize the access to the bpf descriptor
list, removing the race.
- Expose the bpf_if structure in bpf.h so that the bpf_peers_present function
can use it. This also removes the struct bpf_if; hack that was there.
- Adjust all consumers of the raw if_bpf structure to use bpf_peers_present
Now what happens is:
(1) Packet is received by netif0
(2) Check to see if bpf descriptor list is empty
(3) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(4) Hand packet off to process
From the attach/detach side:
(1) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(2) Add/remove from bpf descriptor list
Now that we are storing the bpf interface structure with the ifnet, there is
is no need to walk the bpf interface list to locate the correct bpf interface.
We now simply look up the interface, and initialize the pointer. This has a
nice side effect of changing a bpf interface attach operation from O(N) (where
N is the number of bpf interfaces), to O(1).
[1] From now on, we can no longer check ifp->if_bpf to tell us whether or
not we have any bpf peers that might be interested in receiving packets.

of buffered multicast frames in hostap mode.
While here eliminate an extraneous check; ieee80211_beacon_update sets
the tim bit based on ncabq != 0 so there's no reason to check it too.

is finished with it; this may only occur when the tx queue is setup as
dba-gated but since the fix is cheap apply it to all queues
while here make the queue depth signed for use in assertions
