46222d084a Due to an incorrect macro, it appears that this driver has always been
accidentally truncating off the VLAN tag field in the TX descriptor.  Fix
this by splitting up the vlan_tag and flags fields into separate fields,
and handling them appropriately.

4eaefb8160 Refine the checksum hack a little. It appears that the chip can handle UDP
and TCP checksum offloading fine, it only has a problem with IP checksums on
IP fragments..  Barring a fix or workaround available from the hardware, the
real solution would be to have finer grained control in the stack over what
can and cannot be assisted in hardware.

49caa8a9f8 There seems to be a problem with txcsum and UDP. Turn it off until it is
understood better.  This fixes timeout problems with NFS.

c5a01a410c Overhaul the transmit and dma paths:
- Use bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() to eliminate the need for the callback and
all of the extra bookkeeping associated with it.
- Eliminate the bce_dmamap_arg structure and streamline the memory allocation
routines to not need it.  This does change some of the debugging messages.
- Refactor the loop that fills the buffer descriptor so that it can be done
with a single set of logic in a single loop instead of two sets of logic.
- Eliminate the need to cache and pass descriptor indexes between the start
loop and the encap function.
- Change the start loop to always check the ifnet sendq for more work.

This significantly helps the driver withstand large UDP workloads, though
it's still not perfect.  I suspect the remaining work lies with handling
the OACTIVE flag, and also in possibly streamlining the interrupt handler
some.  It is, however, nearly on par with the other popular gigabit drivers
in terms of stability now.

ec6887f825 Don't copy the bd_chain head pointers into temporary objects, they are
available globally.

c40da00ca3 Since DELAY() was moved, most <machine/clock.h> #includes have been
unnecessary.

75231ae311 Fix half of the current i386 tinderbox failure. max_bus_addr should be a
bus_addr_t rather than a bus_size_t.
