for callout_init(9). Deprecate the flag and clean up callout_init() calls
to make them more consistent.

handle_ddp_close() function in t4_ddp.c as the logic is similar
to handle_ddp_data(). This allows all knowledge of the special
DDP mbufs to be private to t4_ddp.c as well.
strings returned to userland include the nulterm byte.
Some uses of sbuf_new_for_sysctl() write binary data rather than strings;
clear the SBUF_INCLUDENUL flag after calling sbuf_new_for_sysctl() in
those cases. (Note that the sbuf code still automatically adds a nulterm
byte in sbuf_finish(), but since it's not included in the length it won't
get copied to userland along with the binary data.)
Remove explicit adding of a nulterm byte in a couple places now that it
gets done automatically by the sbuf drain code.

netmap rx queues, and the "batchiness" of rx updates sent to the chip.
These knobs will probably become per-rxq in the near future and will be
documented only after their final form is decided.

It is disabled by default but users can set IFCAP_TXCSUM on the
netmap ifnet (ifconfig ncxl0 txcsum) to override netmap and force
the hardware to calculate and insert proper IP and L4 checksums in
outbound frames.

Drivers (ULDs) and the base if_cxgbe driver.
Track the per-adapter activation of ULDs in a new "active_ulds" field.
This was done pretty arbitrarily before this change -- via TOM_INIT_DONE
in adapter->flags for TOM, and the (1 << MAX_NPORTS) bit in
adapter->offload_map for iWARP.
iWARP and hw-accelerated iSCSI rely on the TOE (supported by the TOM
ULD). The rules are:
a) If the iWARP and/or iSCSI ULDs are available when TOE is enabled then
iWARP and/or iSCSI are enabled too.
b) When the iWARP and iSCSI modules are loaded they go looking for
adapters with TOE enabled and enable themselves on that adapter.
c) You cannot deactivate or unload the TOM module from underneath iWARP
or iSCSI. Any such attempt will fail with EBUSY.

a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.
b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.
The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).
c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.
d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.
e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.
