GEMs is unable to discriminate UDP from TCP packets such that
it can generate 0x0000 checksum value for the UDP datagram. So the
UDP checksum offload was disabled by default. You can enable it
by setting link0 flag with ifconfig(8).
o bus_dma(9) clean up. It now correctly set number of required DMA
segments/size and removed incorrect use of BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW flag
in static allocations done via bus_dmamem_alloc(9).
o Implemented ALTQ(9) support.
o Implemented Tx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) which can remove
several book keeping chores orginated from call-back mechanism.
Therefore gem_txdma_callback() was removed and its functionality
was reimplemented in gem_load_txmbuf().
o Don't set GEM_TD_START_OF_PACKET flag until all remaining mbuf
chains are set. I think it was a long standing bug and it caused
fluctuating interrupts/CPU usage patterns while netperf test
is in progress. Previously it seems that we race with the device.
Because I don't have a documentation for GEM I'm not sure this is
correct but almost all other documentations I have stated this
implications on setting SOP mark in descriptor ring(e.g. hme(4)).
o Borrowed gem_defrag() from ath(4) which is supposed to be much
faster than m_defrag(9) since it's not need to defrag all
mbuf chains.
o gem_load_txmbuf() was changed to allow passed mbuf chains to free.
Caller of gem_load_txmbuf() correctly handles freed mbuf chains.
o In gem_start_locked(), added checks for availability of Tx
descriptors before trying to load DMA maps which could save CPU
cycles when number of available descriptors are low. Also, simplyfy
IFF_DRV_OACTIVE detection logic.
o Removed hard-coded function names in CTR macros and replaced it
with __func__.
o Moved statistics counter register access to gem_tick() to reduce
number of PCI bus accesses. There is no reason to update statistics
counters in interrupt handler.
o Removed unnecessary call of gem_start_locked() in gem_ioctl().

own entry in the softc. This should allow more of cbb_pci_intr() to
migrate to a new cbb_pci_filt() so that we don't have to run cbb's ISR
in almost every case we get an interrupt. We can't just move
cbb_pci_intr into cbb_pci_filt because it does things that aren't safe
to do from a fast interrupt handler, err I mean from a filter. This is
an important first step.
# I wonder if I need to make cardok volatile or not.
mpt.h:
Add support for reading extended configuration pages.
mpt_cam.c:
Do a top level topology scan on the SAS controller. If any SATA
device are discovered in this scan, send a passthrough FIS to set
the write cache. This is controllable through the following
tunable at boot:
hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc:
-1 = Do not configure, use the controller default
0 = Disable the write cache
1 = Enable the write cache
The default is -1. This tunable is just a hack and may be
deprecated in the future.
Turning on the write cache alleviates the write performance problems with
SATA that many people have observed. It is not recommend for those who
value data reliability! I cannot stress this strongly enough. However,
it is useful in certain circumstances, and it brings the performence in line
with what a generic SATA controller running under the FreeBSD ATA driver
provides (and the ATA driver has had the WC enabled by default for years).
Things can get ugly without it due to uninitialized class. RELENG_6 need
a simmilar, but different treatment as well.
err.. perhaps we should teach devclass_get_maxunit() to return -1 ?

o If we don't have a filter, also check to make sure the card is there before
calling the scheduled ISR. This is necessary to help old drivers whose
ISRs can't cope with being called with the hardware missing, which sadly
still exist in the tree. This is the main reason why we have an extra
layer of indirection for cardbus interrupts.
o If the card is no longer present, mark the interrupt as 'handled' rather
than 'stray' because this accounts for why the interrupt happened. Stray
isn't all bad, since there are other filters that would claim it...
o Fix some comments
+ Add comment about why we check for CARD_OK and touch the hardware in both
the filter and ISR.
+ add a note about why we don't care about Giant
+ also note that giant can't be taken out in a filter...
+ Some minor formatting nits on very long comments.
While in the suspend path, this means the idle thread will just return
immediately rather than trying to enter C1-n. This helps in the case where
the chipset is powered down before the rest of the system and reads from
the cpu sleep registers begin returning immediately, causing the logic that
catches bad C2/C3 behavior to kick in. Observed on my Panasonic Y4.

The wpa man pages were moved to section 8 in June 2005.
The clean_environment() function was removed from libutil in February
2004, so its man page is well overdue for removal.

1.50 to help out with the GCC 2 to GCC 3 transition and it became
obsolete when C flags compatible with GCC 3.x became the default.
With GCC 4 in the tree this variable (i.e. GCC3) is beyond bogus
because it causes confusion when looking for the newly introduced
WITH_GCC3 option that helps the GCC 3 -> GCC 4 bump.
