is no longer required to protect jumbo buffers.
With these changes jumbo frame performance of nfe(4) was slightly
increased and users should not encounter jumbo buffer allocation
failure anymore.
free function controlable, instead of passing the KVA of the buffer
storage as the first argument.
Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.
Likely break the only non-convetional user of the API, after informing
the relevant committer.
Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on
this point.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how
many arguments a CPP macro needs any other way.
This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the
passed storage to have been accessed before returning.
This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

while other variants have inorder ethernet address for the same

it was stored. This fixes the use of inversed ethernet address on
MCP67.

change interrupt if the link is established with link parter. However
interrupt handler didn't acknowledge the interrupt if nfe(4) was not
running at the time of interrupt delivery. This caused endless
interrupt generation. Fix the bug by acknowledging the interrupt
regardless of running state of the driver.

Because nfe(4) hardware doesn't support SG on Rx path, supporting
jumbo frame requires very large contiguous kernel memory(i.e. several
mega bytes). In case of lack of contiguous kernel memory that
allocation request may always fail. However nfe(4) can operate on normal
sized MTU frames, so go ahead and just disable jumbo frame support.
While I'm here add a new tunable "hw.nfe.jumbo_disable" to disable
jumbo frame support.
In nfe_poll, make sure to invoke correct Rx handler.

Special thanks to Shigeaki Tagashira, the original porter of nfe(4),
who submitted lots of patches, performed uncountable number of
regression tests and maintained nfe(4) for a long time. Without his
enthusiastic help and support I could never have completed this
overhauling task.
The only weak point of nfe(4) compared to nve(4) is instability of
manual half-duplex media selection on certain hardwares(auto sensing
media type should work for all cases, though). This was a long
standing bug of nfe(4) and I still have no idea why it doesn't work
on some hardwares.

If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the
layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any
bpf(4) peers can properly decode them.
It should be noted that this is compiled tested only.

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.

boot.
(I'm pretty sure that PAGE_SIZE here was miscopied from another place
during porting, where in OpenBSD bus_dmamem_alloc() is used, but there
PAGE_SIZE means completely different thing.)

It was additionally cleaned up by me.
It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC.
And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.
