to pad with 0xFF when it encounter short frames. According to RFC
1042 the pad bytes should be 0x00.
Because manual padding consumes extra CPU cycles, introduce a new
tunable which controls the padding behavior. Turning this tunable
on will have driver pad manually but it's disabled by default. Users
can enable software padding by setting the following tunable to
non-zero value.

prevented driver from working on big-endian machines. Also rewrite
station address programming to make it work on strict-alignment
architectures. With this change, sis(4) now works on sparc64 and
performance number looks good even though sis(4) have to apply
fixup code to align received frames on 2 bytes boundary on sparc64.
allmulti is toggled. Controller does not require reinitialization.
This removes unnecessary controller reinitialization whenever
tcpdump is used.
While I'm here remove unnecessary variable reinitialization.
configured TX/RX MACs before getting a valid link. After that, when
link state change callback is called, it called device
initialization again to reconfigure TX/RX MACs depending on
resolved link state. This hack created several bad side effects and
it required more hacks to not collide with sis_tick callback as
well as disabling switching to currently selected media in device
initialization. Also it seems sis(4) was used to be a template
driver for long time so other drivers which was modeled after
sis(4) also should be changed.
TX/RX MACs are now reconfigured after getting a valid link. Fix for
short cable error is also applied after getting a link because it's
only valid when the resolved speed is 100Mbps.
While I'm here slightly reorganize interrupt handler such that
sis(4) always read SIS_ISR register to see whether the interrupt is
ours or not. This change removes another hack and make it possible
to nuke sis_stopped variable in softc.
o Enforce TX/RX descriptor ring alignment. NS data sheet says the
controller needs 4 bytes alignment but use 16 to cover both SiS
and NS controllers. I don't have SiS data sheet so I'm not sure
what is alignment restriction of SiS controller but 16 would be
enough because it's larger than the size of a TX/RX descriptor.
Previously sis(4) ignored the alignment restriction.
o Enforce RX buffer alignment, 4.
Previously sis(4) ignored RX buffer alignment restriction.
o Limit number of TX DMA segment to be used to 16. It seems
controller has no restriction on number of DMA segments but
using more than 16 looks resource waste.
o Collapse long mbuf chains with m_collapse(9) instead of calling
expensive m_defrag(9).
o TX/RX side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support and remove
unnecessary callbacks.
o Initial endianness support.
o Prefer local alignment fixup code to m_devget(9).
o Pre-allocate TX/RX mbuf DMA maps instead of creating/destroying
these maps in fast TX/RX path. On non-x86 architectures, this is
very expensive operation and there is no need to do that.
o Add missing bus_dmamap_sync(9) in TX/RX path.
o watchdog is now unarmed only when there are no pending frames
on controller. Previously sis(4) blindly unarmed watchdog
without checking the number of queued frames.
o For efficiency, loaded DMA map is reused for error frames.
o DMA map loading failure is now gracefully handled. Previously
sis(4) ignored any DMA map loading errors.
o Nuke unused macros which are not appropriate for endianness
operation.
o Stop embedding driver maintained structures into descriptor
rings. Because TX/RX descriptor structures are shared between
host and controller, frequent bus_dmamap_sync(9) operations are
required in fast path. Embedding driver structures will increase
the size of DMA map which in turn will slow down performance.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

When VLAN tagged frame is received the hardware sets 'LONG' bit of
Rx status word. It is always set when the size of received frame
exceeded 1518 bytes, including CRC. This VLAN tagged frame clears
'OK' bit of Rx status word such that driver should not rely on 'OK'
bit of Rx status word to pass the VLAN tagged frame to upper stack.
To fix the bug, don't use SIS_CMDSTS_PKT_OK for Rx error check and
introduce SIS_RXSTAT_ERROR macro that checks Rx errors. If we are
configured to accept VLAN tagged frames and the received frame size
is less than or equal to maximum allowed length of VLAN tagged
frame, clear 'LONG' bit of Rx status word before checking Rx
errors.

Free the children after each pci bus that is searched. Otherwise we
leak them. With free in the new place, we also have to free children
before going to done when we find the device we're looking for.
Also, if we can't get the children of a device, just ignore that bus.
