Fix the race between ioat_reset_hw and ioat_process_events.
HW reset isn't protected by a lock because it can sleep for a long time
(40.1 ms). This resulted in a race where we would process bogus parts
of the descriptor ring as if it had completed. This looked like
duplicate completions on old events, if your ring had looped at least
once.
Block callout and interrupt work while reset runs so the completion end
of things does not observe indeterminate state and process invalid parts
of the ring.
Start the channel with a manually implemented ioat_null() to keep other
submitters quiesced while we wait for the channel to start (100 us).
r295605 may have made the race between ioat_reset_hw and
ioat_process_events wider, but I believe it already existed before that
revision. ioat_process_events can be invoked by two asynchronous
sources: callout (softclock) and device interrupt. Those could race
each other, to the same effect.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7097
The IOAT engine can only address the low 40 bits (1 TB) of physmem via
the 'next descriptor' pointer. Restrict acceptable range given to
bus_dma_tag_create to match.

The I/OAT HW reset process may sleep, so it is invalid to perform a
channel reset from the software interrupt thread.

Some classes of IOAT hardware prefetch reads. DMA operations that
depend on the result of prior DMA operations must use the DMA_FENCE flag
to prevent stale reads.
(E.g., I've hit this personally on Broadwell-EP. The Broadwell-DE has a
different IOAT unit that is documented to not pipeline DMA operations.)

ioat_acquire_reserve() is an extended version of ioat_acquire(). It
allows users to reserve space in the channel for some number of
descriptors. If this succeeds, it guarantees that at least submission
of N valid descriptors will succeed.

Different revisions support different operations. Refer to Intel
External Design Specifications to figure out what your hardware
supports.

In I/OAT, this is done through the INTRDELAY register. On supported
platforms, this register can coalesce interrupts in a set period to
avoid excessive interrupt load for small descriptor workflows. The
period is configurable anywhere from 1 microsecond to 16.38
milliseconds, in microsecond granularity.

The hardware supports descriptors with two non-contiguous pages. This
allows issuing one descriptor for an 8k copy from/to non-contiguous but
otherwise page-aligned memory.

Certain invalid operations trigger hardware error conditions. Error
conditions that only halt one channel can be detected and recovered by
resetting the channel. Error conditions that halt the whole device are
generally not recoverable.
Add a sysctl to inject channel-fatal HW errors,
'dev.ioat.<N>.force_hw_error=1'.
When a halt due to a channel error is detected, ioat(4) blocks new
operations from being queued on the channel, completes any outstanding
operations with an error status, and resets the channel before allowing
new operations to be queued again.
Update ioat.4 to document error recovery; document blockfill introduced
in r290021 while we are here; document ioat_put_dmaengine() added in
r289907; document DMA_NO_WAIT added in r289982.

The IOAT hardware supports writing a 64-bit pattern to some destination
buffer. The same limitations on buffer length apply as for copy
operations. Throughput is a bit higher (probably because fill does not
have to spend bandwidth reading from a source in memory).
Support for testing Block Fill has been added to ioatcontrol(8) and the
ioat_test device. ioatcontrol(8) accepts the '-f' flag, which tests
Block Fill. (If the flag is omitted, the tool tests copy by default.)
The '-V' flag, in conjunction with '-f', verifies that buffers are
filled in the expected pattern.

Add a new flag for DMA operations, DMA_NO_WAIT. It behaves much like
other NOWAIT flags -- if queueing an operation would sleep, abort and
return NULL instead.
When growing the internal descriptor ring, the memory allocation is
performed outside of all locks. A lock-protected flag is used to avoid
duplicated work. Threads that cannot sleep and attempt to queue
operations when the descriptor ring is full allocate a larger ring with
M_NOWAIT, or bail if that fails.
ioat_reserve_space() could become an external API if is important to
callers that they have room for a sequence of operations, or that those
operations succeed each other directly in the hardware ring.
This patch splits the internal head index (->head) from the hardware's
head-of-chain (DMACOUNT) register (->hw_head). In the future, for
simplicity's sake, we could drop the 'ring' array entirely and just use
a linked list (with head and tail pointers rather than indices).

We need to reset the chancmp and chainaddr MMIO registers to bring the
device back to a working state.
Name the chanerr bits while we're here.
