2969bf0e46 Update driver to Intel version 2.0.7:
This adds new feature support for the 82599, a hardware
assist to LRO, doing this required a large revamp to the
RX cleanup code because the descriptor ring may not be
processed out of order, this necessitated the elimination
of global pointers.

Additionally, the RX routine now does not refresh mbufs
on every descriptor, rather it will do a range, and then
update the hardware pointer at that time. These are
performance oriented changes.

The TX side now has a cleaner simpler watchdog algorithm
as well, in TX cleanup a read of ticks is stored, that
can then be compared in local_timer to determine if
there is a hang.

Various other cleanups along the way, thanks to all who
have provided input and testing.

0ac6dfec68 Update the ixgbe driver to 1.7.4, this includes support
for the new 82599 adapter family, adds header split, and
many small fixes. The driver should now be added to the
GENERIC kernel.

MFC after: 2 weeks

9ca4041b6c This is driver version 1.4.4 of the Intel ixgbe driver.
-It has new hardware support
  -It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back
  -It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed
   by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into
   the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here.
  -Also bug fixes and etc...

MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.
