- Move hardware counter reading/zeroing to hme_tick(). This saves
8 register access per interrupt. [1]
- Use imax macro for getting max. argument between two integers.
- Invoke bus_dmamap_sync(9) first before freeing mbuf.
- Check driver queue first to reduce locking operation in hme_start_locked()
and interrupt handler.
- Simplyfy watchdog timer setup in interrupt handler.
- Don't log normal errors such as RX overrun. If we have DMA stuck
condition, reinitialize the driver and log it.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

- Let hme_start()/hme_init() acquire lock and then call
hme_start_locked()/hme_init_locked() respectivly.
- Teardown interrupt handler before hme_detach().
- Remove IFF_NEEDSGIANT flag and mark interrupt handler INTR_MPSAFE.
- Set callout handler to CALLOUT_MPSAFE.
- Add locks in hme MII interface.

Since HME doesn't compensate the checksum for UDP datagram which
can yield to 0x0, UDP transmit checksum offload is disabled by
default. The UDP Transmit checksum offload can be reactivated
by setting special link option link0 with ifconfig(8).

from the hardware descriptors to avoid the overhead of having a DMA
map for each of them. Bump the number of hardware descriptors to 128,
and use half as many software descriptors for now.
Some minor cleanups.
- remove some useless code from the status change handler that was intended
to enable the the MII drivers for external phys; this is already done
during interface initialization, and the deleted code made some
assumptions about phy addresses that do not seem to hold true on newer
cards. This should get at least one of the two hmes of newer Netra t1
machines working.
- correct the interrupt resource allocation
- bump the number of RX descriptors, lower values cause promblems on some
machines
in most machines of the Sun Ultra series. This is a port of the NetBSD
driver which I enhanced to make use of the gather functionality and the
configurable RX buffer offset to avoid copying all received/sent packet
(instead, packets will be directly DMAd from mbuf chains and into mbuf
clusters now).
