I'm not sure why this is failing. The holding descriptor should be being
re-read when starting DMA of the next frame. Obviously something here
isn't totally correct.
I'll review the TX queue handling and see if I can figure out why this
is failing. I'll then re-revert this patch out and use the holding
descriptor again.

but partly to just tidy up things.
The problem here - there are too many TX buffers in the queue! By the
time one needs to transmit an EAPOL frame (for this PR, it's the response
to the group rekey notification from the AP) there are no ath_buf entries
free and the EAPOL frame doesn't go out.
Now, the problem!
* Enforcing the TX buffer limitation _before_ we dequeue the frame?
Bad idea. Because..
* .. it means I can't check whether the mbuf has M_EAPOL set.
The solution(s):
* De-queue the frame first
* Don't bother doing the TX buffer minimum free check until after
we know whether it's an EAPOL frame or not.
* If it's an EAPOL frame, allocate the buffer from the mgmt pool
rather than the default pool.
Whilst I'm here:
* Add a tweak to limit how many buffers a single node can acquire.
* Don't enforce that for EAPOL frames.
* .. set that to default to 1/4 of the available buffers, or 32,
whichever is more sane.
This doesn't fix issues due to a sleeping node or a very poor performing
node; but this doesn't make it worse.
Tested:
* AR5416 STA, TX'ing 100+ mbit UDP to an AP, but only 50mbit being received
(thus the TX queue fills up.)
* .. with CCMP / WPA2 encryption configured
* .. and the group rekey time set to 10 seconds, just to elicit the
behaviour very quickly.

just "when the queue is busy."
After talking with the MAC team, it turns out that the linked list
implementation sometimes will not accept a TxDP update and will
instead re-read the link pointer. So even if the hardware has
finished transmitting a chain and has hit EOL/VEOL, it may still
re-read the link pointer to begin transmitting again.
So, always set ATH_BUF_BUSY on the last buffer in the chain (to
mark the last descriptor as the holding descriptor) and never
blank the axq_link pointer.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode
TODO:
* much more thorough testing with the pre-11n NICs, just to verify
that they behave the same way.
* test TDMA on the 11n and non-11n hardware.

- Split allocation and freeing of the configuration descriptor into a separate

to save memory allocations. This applies for both device and host mode.

- netmap_rx_irq()/netmap_tx_irq() can now be called by FreeBSD drivers
hiding the logic for handling NIC interrupts in netmap mode.
This also simplifies the case of NICs attached to VALE switches.
Individual drivers will be updated with separate commits.
- use the same refcount() API for FreeBSD and linux
- plus some comments, typos and formatting fixes

those of some non-architectural core events. This is not a problem in the
general case as long as there's an 1:1 mapping between the two, but there
are few exceptions. For example, 3CH_01H on Nehalem/Westmere represents
both unhalted-reference-cycles and CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_P.
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_P on the aforementioned architectures does not measure
reference (i.e. bus) but TSC, so there's the need to disambiguate.
In order to avoid the namespace collision rename all the architectural
events in a way they cannot be ambigous and refactor the architectural
events handling function to reflect this change.
While here, per Jim Harris request, rename
iap_architectural_event_is_unsupported() to iap_event_is_architectural().

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.
