62d76917b8 Introduce a procedural interface to the ifnet structure. The new
interface allows the ifnet structure to be defined as an opaque
type in NIC drivers.  This then allows the ifnet structure to be
changed without a need to change or recompile NIC drivers.

Put differently, NIC drivers can be written and compiled once and
be used with different network stack implementations, provided of
course that those network stack implementations have an API and
ABI compatible interface.

This commit introduces the 'if_t' type to replace 'struct ifnet *'
as the type of a network interface. The 'if_t' type is defined as
'void *' to enable the compiler to perform type conversion to
'struct ifnet *' and vice versa where needed and without warnings.
The functions that implement the API are the only functions that
need to have an explicit cast.

The MII code has been converted to use the driver API to avoid
unnecessary code churn. Code churn comes from having to work with
both converted and unconverted drivers in correlation with having
callback functions that take an interface. By converting the MII
code first, the callback functions can be defined so that the
compiler will perform the typecasts automatically.

As soon as all drivers have been converted, the if_t type can be
redefined as needed and the API functions can be fix to not need
an explicit cast.

The immediate benefactors of this change are:
1.  Juniper Networks - The network stack implementation in Junos
    is entirely different from FreeBSD's one and this change
    allows Juniper to build "stock" NIC drivers that can be used
    in combination with both the FreeBSD and Junos stacks.
2.  FreeBSD - This change opens the door towards changing ifnet
    and implementing new features and optimizations in the network
    stack without it requiring a change in the many NIC drivers
    FreeBSD has.

61a3ac6e27 The MII layer shouldn't care about administrative status of an
interface. Make MII drivers forget about 'struct ifnet'.

Later plan is to provide an administrative downcall from ifnet
layer into drivers, to inform them about administrative status
change. If someone thinks that processing MII events for an
administratively down interface is a big problem, then drivers
would turn MII processing off.

The following MII drivers do evil things, like strcmp() on
driver name, so they still need knowledge of ifnet and thus
include if_var.h. They all need to be fixed:

sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c
sys/dev/mii/e1000phy.c
sys/dev/mii/ip1000phy.c
sys/dev/mii/jmphy.c
sys/dev/mii/nsphy.c
sys/dev/mii/rgephy.c
sys/dev/mii/truephy.c

3fcb7a5365 - Remove attempts to implement setting of BMCR_LOOP/MIIF_NOLOOP
(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
  it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
  was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
  loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
  be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
  mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
  obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
  development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
  though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
  support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
  did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
  instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
  a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
  always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
  interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
  This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
  generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
  routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
  redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
  zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
  as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
  hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
  has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
  attach a miibus(4) instance.
  Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
  directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
  The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
  a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
  optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
  supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
  has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
  along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
  and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
  advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
  changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
  PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
  handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
  arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
  for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
  structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
  attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
  NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
  mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
  as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
  appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
  when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
  miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
  largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
  9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
  weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
  unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
  it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
  changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

8e5d93dbb4 Convert the PHY drivers to honor the mii_flags passed down and convert
the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
  addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
  address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
  off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
  parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
  via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
  brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
  what can be expressed with simple flags.

While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

de1add1e45 - In the spirit of previous simplifications factor out the checks for a
different PHY instance being selected and isolation out into the wrappers
  around the service methods rather than duplicating them over and over
  again (besides, a PHY driver shouldn't need to care about which instance
  it actually is).
- Centralize the check for the need to isolate a non-zero PHY instance not
  supporting isolation in mii_mediachg() and just ignore it rather than
  panicing, which should sufficient given that a) things are likely to
  just work anyway if one doesn't plug in more than one port at a time and
  b) refusing to attach in this case just leaves us in a unknown but most
  likely also not exactly correct configuration (besides several drivers
  setting MIIF_NOISOLATE didn't care about these anyway, probably due to
  setting this flag for no real reason).
- Minor fixes like removing unnecessary setting of sc->mii_anegticks,
  using sc->mii_anegticks instead of hardcoded values etc.

500a4ded5d Add Agere ET1011 PHY which is found on Belkin F5D5055 USB
controller. Unlike Agere ET1011C, Agere ET1011 does not seem to
need special DSP programming to workaround silicon bug.
