There's a few things that needed to happen:
* In case someone decides to set the beacon transmission rate to be
at an MCS rate, use the MCS-aware version of the duration calculation
to figure out how long the received beacon frame was.
* If TxOP enforcing is available on the hardware and we're doing TDMA,
enable it after a reset and set the TDMA guard interval to zero.
This seems to behave fine.

The list-based DMA engine has the following behaviour:
* When the DMA engine is in the init state, you can write the first
descriptor address to the QCU TxDP register and it will work.
* Then when it hits the end of the list (ie, it either hits a NULL
link pointer, OR it hits a descriptor with VEOL set) the QCU
stops, and the TxDP points to the last descriptor that was transmitted.
* Then when you want to transmit a new frame, you can then either:
+ write the head of the new list into TxDP, or
+ you write the head of the new list into the link pointer of the
last completed descriptor (ie, where TxDP points), then kick
TxE to restart transmission on that QCU>
* The hardware then will re-read the descriptor to pick up the link
pointer and then jump to that.
Now, the quirks:
* If you write a TxDP when there's been no previous TxDP (ie, it's 0),
it works.
* If you write a TxDP in any other instance, the TxDP write may actually
fail. Thus, when you start transmission, it will re-read the last
transmitted descriptor to get the link pointer, NOT just start a new
transmission.
So the correct thing to do here is:
* ALWAYS use the holding descriptor (ie, the last transmitted descriptor
that we've kept safe) and use the link pointer in _THAT_ to transmit
the next frame.
* NEVER write to the TxDP after you've done the initial write.
* .. also, don't do this whilst you're also resetting the NIC.
With this in mind, the following patch does basically the above.
* Since this encapsulates Sam's issues with the QCU behaviour w/ TDMA,
kill the TDMA special case and replace it with the above.
* Add a new TXQ flag - PUTRUNNING - which indicates that we've started
DMA.
* Clear that flag when DMA has been shutdown.
* Ensure that we're not restarting DMA with PUTRUNNING enabled.
* Fix the link pointer logic during TXQ drain - we should always ensure
the link pointer does point to something if there's a list of frames.
Having it be NULL as an indication that DMA has finished or during
a reset causes trouble.
Now, given all of this, i want to nuke axq_link from orbit. There's now HAL
methods to get and set the link pointer of a descriptor, so what we
should do instead is to update the right link pointer.
* If there's a holding descriptor and an empty TXQ list, set the
link pointer of said holding descriptor to the new frame.
* If there's a non-empty TXQ list, set the link pointer of the
last descriptor in the list to the new frame.
* Nuke axq_link from orbit.
Note:
* The AR9380 doesn't need this. FIFO TX writes are atomic. As long as
we don't append to a list of frames that we've already passed to the
hardware, all of the above doesn't apply. The holding descriptor stuff
is still needed to ensure the hardware can re-read a completed
descriptor to move onto the next one, but we restart DMA by pushing in
a new FIFO entry into the TX QCU. That doesn't require any real
gymnastics.

doesn't match the actual hardware queue this frame is queued to.
I'm trying to ensure that the holding buffers are actually being queued
to the same TX queue as the holding buffer that they end up on.
I'm pretty sure this is all correct so if this complains, it'll be due

This implements PS-POLL awareness i nthe
* Implement frame "leaking", which allows for a software queue
to be scheduled even though it's asleep
* Track whether a frame has been leaked or not
* Leak out a single non-AMPDU frame when transmitting aggregates
* Queue BAR frames if the node is asleep
* Direct-dispatch the rest of control and management frames.
This allows for things like re-association to occur (which involves
sending probe req/resp as well as assoc request/response) when
the node is asleep and then tries reassociating.
* Limit how many frames can set in the software node queue whilst
the node is asleep. net80211 is already buffering frames for us
so this is mostly just paranoia.
* Add a PS-POLL method which leaks out a frame if there's something
in the software queue, else it calls net80211's ps-poll routine.
Since the ath PS-POLL routine marks the node as having a single frame
to leak, either a software queued frame would leak, OR the next queued
frame would leak. The next queued frame could be something from the
net80211 power save queue, OR it could be a NULL frame from net80211.
TODO:
* Don't transmit further BAR frames (eg via a timeout) if the node is
currently asleep. Otherwise we may end up exhausting management frames
due to the lots of queued BAR frames.
I may just undo this bit later on and direct-dispatch BAR frames
even if the node is asleep.
* It would be nice to burst out a single A-MPDU frame if both ends
support this. I may end adding a FreeBSD IE soon to negotiate
this power save behaviour.
* I should make STAs timeout of power save mode if they've been in power
save for more than a handful of seconds. This way cards that get
"stuck" in power save mode don't stay there for the "inactivity" timeout
in net80211.
* Move the queue depth check into the driver layer (ath_start / ath_transmit)
rather than doing it in the TX path.
* There could be some naughty corner cases with ps-poll leaking.
Specifically, if net80211 generates a NULL data frame whilst another
transmitter sends a normal data frame out net80211 output / transmit,
we need to ensure that the NULL data frame goes out first.

PV entries are now roughly half the size.
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 28 byte pv entries
(two 8-byte tailq nodes, a 4 byte pointer, a 4 byte address and 4 byte
flags), we allocate a page at a time per process.
This provides 252 pv entries per process (actually, per pmap address space)
and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since we now can track
per-process pv entries implicitly.
The pointer to the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to
find the metadata on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by
all 252 entries. There is an 8-int bitmap for the freelist of those 252
entries.
When in serious low memory condition, allocation of another pv_chunk is
possible by freeing some pages in pmap_pv_reclaim().
Added pv_entry/pv_chunk related statistics to pmap.
pv_entry/pv_chunk statistics can be accessed via sysctl vm.pmap.
Ported PTE freelist of KVA allocation and maintenance from i386.
Using an idea from Stephan Uphoff, use the empty pte's that correspond
to the unused kva in the pv memory block to thread a freelist through.
This allows us to free pages that used to be used for pv entry chunks
since we can now track holes in the kva memory block.
As both ARM pmap.c and pmap-v6.c use the same header and pv_entry, pmap and
md_page structures are different, it was needed to separate code designed
for ARMv6/7 from the one for other ARMs.

Keep following access permissions:
APX AP Kernel User
1 01 R N
1 10 R R
0 01 R/W N
0 11 R/W R/W
Avoid using reserved in ARMv6 APX|AP settings:
- In case of unprivileged (user) access without permission to write,
the access permission bits were being set to reserved for ARMv6
(but valid for ARMv7) value of APX|AP = 111.
Fix-up faulting userland accesses properly:
- Wrong condition statement in pmap_fault_fixup() caused that
any genuine, unprivileged access was being fixed-up instead of
just skip doing anything and return. Staring from now we ensure
proper reaction for illicit user accesses.
L2_S_PROT_R and L2_S_PROT_U names might be misleading as they do not
reflect real permission levels. It will be clarified in following
patches (switch to AP[2:1] permissions model).

change the way that these functions ascend the tree when the search for a
matching leaf fails at an interior node. Rather than returning to the root
of the tree and repeating the lookup with an updated key, maintain a stack
of interior nodes that were visited during the descent and use that stack
to resume the lookup at the closest ancestor that might have a matching
descendant.

fork_trampoline (thread entry point) assembler routines, because it's
not possible to unwind beyond those points.
Also insert STOP_UNWINDING in the exception_exit routine, to prevent an
unwind-loop at that point. This is just a stopgap until we get around
to instrumenting all assembler functions with proper unwind metadata.
exit the loop until after printing info about the current frame. Also,
if executing the unwind function for a frame doesn't change the values of
any registers, log that and exit the loop rather than looping endlessly.
Address. Although KAME implementation used FF02:0:0:0:0:2::/96 based on
older versions of draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookup, it has been changed
in RFC 4620.
The kernel always joins the /104-prefixed address, and additionally does
/96-prefixed one only when net.inet6.icmp6.nodeinfo_oldmcprefix=1.
The default value of the sysctl is 1.
ping6(8) -N flag now uses /104-prefixed one. When this flag is specified
twice, it uses /96-prefixed one instead.

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.
kernel-based POSIX semaphore descriptors to userland via procstat(1) and
fstat(1):
- Change sem file descriptors to track the pathname they are associated
with and add a ksem_info() method to copy the path out to a
caller-supplied buffer.
- Use the fo_stat() method of shared memory objects and ksem_info() to
export the path, mode, and value of a semaphore via struct kinfo_file.
- Add a struct semstat to the libprocstat(3) interface along with a
procstat_get_sem_info() to export the mode and value of a semaphore.
- Teach fstat about semaphores and to display their path, mode, and value.

- vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages() can be called by vm_page_alloc_freelist()
to allocate a page from a specific freelist. In the NUMA case it did not
properly map the public VM_FREELIST_* constants to the correct backing
freelists, nor did it try all NUMA domains for allocations from
VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT.
- vm_phys_alloc_pages() did not pin the thread and each call to
vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages() fetched the current domain to choose
which freelist to use. If a thread migrated domains during the loop
in vm_phys_alloc_pages() it could skip one of the freelists. If the
other freelists were out of memory then it is possible that
vm_phys_alloc_pages() would fail to allocate a page even though pages
were available resulting in a panic in vm_page_alloc().
