These include standalone X550 adapters, X552 10GbE backplane, and
X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T; with the latter two being integrated into Xeon D SoCs.
As well, this bumps the ixgbe version number to 2.8.3, and includes updates
to shared code for support for the new devices.

- Use hardware counters for ifnet stats in igb(4) when possible. This
ensures these stats include packets that bypass the regular stack via
netmap.
- Don't derefence values off the end of the igb(4) VF stats structure.
Instead, add a dedicated if_get_counter method for igb(4) VF interfaces.
- Report missed packets on igb(4) as input queue drops rather than an
input error.
- Report bug_ring drop counts as output queue drops for igb(4) and ixgbe(4).
- Export the buf_ring drop stats for individual rings via sysctl on
ixgbe(4).
- Fix a typo that in ixl(4) that caused output queue drops to be reported
as input queue drops and input queue drops to be unreported.

* Fix the multiple same-named devclasses; the duplicate name
trips up the linker.
* Re-do the taskqueue stuff to use the new cpuset API, not the old
pinned API.
* Add includes for the new location of the RSS configuration routines.
This allows ixgbe to compile as a module /and/ linked into the kernel,
along with RSS working.

- Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
two parts, making for easier sustaining.
- Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
will eliminate that problem.
- The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
has been requested for some time.
- Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
- It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
or the other for streamlined installs, or both.
Enjoy!
