This fixes a long standing bug in mxge(4) where "ifconfig mxge0 $IP"
did not bring the interface into a RUNNING state, like it does on
most (all?) other FreeBSD NIC drivers.
Thanks to gnn for mentioning the bug, and yongari for pointing out that
ether_ioctl() invokes ifp->if_init() in SIOCSIFADDR.

Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
applications depend on it.

- Add the change made in em to the actual unrefreshed number
of descriptors is used as a basis in rxeof on the way out
to determine if more refresh is needed. NOTE: there is a
difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.
- Change the sysctl handling of flow control, it will now make
the change dynamically when the variable setting changes rather
than requiring a reset.
- Change the eee sysctl naming, validation found the old unintuitive :)
- Last but not least, some important performance tweaks in the TX
path, I found that UDP behavior could be drastically hindered or
improved with just small changes in the start loop. What I have
here is what testing has shown to be the best overall. Its interesting
to note that changing the clean threshold to start at a full half of
the ring, made a BIG difference in performance. I hope that this
will prove to be advantageous for most workloads.

{readline,history}.h are in /usr/include/edit so as to not conflict with
the GNU libreadline versions. To use the libedit readline(3) one should
add "-I/usr/include/edit" to their Makefile
(spelled "-I${DESTDIR}/${INCLUDEDIR}/edit" within the FreeBSD source tree).
* Enable its use in the BSD licensed utilities that support readline(3).
* To make it easier to sync libedit development with NetBSD, histedit.h
is moved into libedit's directory as history shows shown we keep merging
it into that location.

probably because of an SMI. Now we ignore the maximum if it happens once in
the test loop and the width is small enough. Also, relax normal width a bit
to count in a boundary case.
Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

The timeout is expressed in the form T(N) = (2^N * nanoseconds) and can
be easilly extracted from the watchdog interface as a WD_TO_* macro.
That new functionality is supposed to fix re-entering the kernel from DDB
re-enabling the watchdog again (previously disabled) and also offer the
possibility to break for deadlocked DDB commands.

Make fdt default on arm and powerpc.
This now includes cross compiled targets, where before we tried to
make it host-based.
Also, move the lists of default yes and no options to a variable.
In general, only build tools should get this treatment in bsd.own.mk.
Also, the use of TARGET* in the bsd.*mk files is discouraged, but
necessary here due to the ordering of things in buildworld. We make
the native case work by testing MACHINE_ARCH after TARGET_ARCH.
levels. TX would hang, RX wouldn't. A bit of digging showed the interface
send queue was full, but IFF_DRV_OACTIVE was clear and the hardware TX
queue was empty.
It turns out that there wasn't a check to drain the interface send
queue once hardware TX had completed, so if the interface send queue
had filled up in the meantime, subsequent packets would be dropped
by the higher layers and if_start (and thus arge_start()) would never
be called.
The fix is simple - call arge_start_locked() in the software interrupt
handler after the hardware TX queue has been handled or a TX underrun
occured. This way the interface send queue gets drained.

This modifies CFLAGS and tweaks sio.S to use the new calling convention.
The sio_init() and sio_putc() prototypes are modified so that other
users of this code know the correct calling convention.
This makes the code smaller when compiled with clang.

MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host

from the interface index, then decrease refcount, not vice versa.
Otherwise there is a race (reproducible) when if_free_internal()
contests on IFNET_WLOCK(), and we got a zero-refed ifnet in the
index for a long time. It may be picked by some other thread,
that runs ifnet_byindex_ref(), who takes the ifnet from index,
and bumps refcount. When reader drops the lock, if_free_internal()
proceeds with free. Then reader tries to free it a second time.
