newer controllers. However, all data sheet I have access has no
indication that buffer manager should not be touched on these
controllers. It seems the buffer manager always runs on BCM5705 or
newer controllers. Some controller(e.g. BCM5719) needs other buffer
manager configuration so driver should enable buffer manager for
all controllers. Both Linux and OpenBSD/NetBSD use the same
approach.
This change polls enable bit of block to know whether specified
block was really stopped as well as enabling buffer manager for all
controllers in driver initialization.

when the user has indicated that the system has synchronized TSCs or it has
P-state invariant TSCs. For the former case, we may clear the tunable if it
fails the test to prevent accidental foot-shooting. For the latter case, we
may set it if it passes the test to notify the user that it may be usable.
from Atheros as to what/when this is supposed to be enabled.
Using the default RX fast diversity settings seems to help quite
a bit.
Whilst I'm here, change the prototype to return HAL_BOOL rather than int.
I'm not sure whether we should install teken as a library on any stock
FreeBSD installation, but I can imagine people want to tinker around
with it now and then. Create a /sys/teken/libteken, which holds a
Makefile to install a shared library version of the terminal emulator,
complete with a manpage.
Also add Makefiles for the demo/stress applications, to build it against
the shared library.
For now, the diversity settings are controlled by 'txantenna',
-not- rxantenna. This is because the earlier chipsets had
controllable TX diversity; the RX antenna setting twiddles
the default antenna register. I'll try sort that stuff out at
some point.
Call the antenna switch function from the board setup function
so scans, channel changes, mode changes, etc don't set the
diversity back to a default state too far from what's intended.
Things to todo:
* Squirrel away the last antenna diversity/combining parameters
and restore them during board setup if HAL_ANT_VARIABLE is
defined. That way scans, etc don't reset the diversity settings.
* Add some more public facing statistics, rather than what's
simply logged under HAL_DEBUG_DIVERSITY.
For now, the fixed antenna settings behave better than variable
settings for me. I have some further fiddling to do..

keep constant ISN growth rate, do the same directly inside tcp_new_isn(),
taking into account how much time (ticks) passed since the last call.
On my test systems this decreases idle interrupt rate from 140Hz to 70Hz.
The macro which I incorrectly copied into ah_internal.h assumed
that it'd be called with an AR_SREV_MERLIN_20() check to ensure
it was only enabled for Merlin (AR9280) silicon revision 2.0 or
later.
Trouble is, the 5GHz fast clock EEPROM flag is only valid for
EEPROM revision 16 or greater; it's assumed to be enabled
by default for Merlin rev >= 2.0. This meant it'd be incorrectly
set for AR5416 and AR9160 in 5GHz mode.
This would have affected non-default clock timings such as SIFS,
ACK and slot time. The incorrect slot time was very likely wrong
for 5ghz mode.
* Modify AR_SREV_MERLIN_20() to match the Atheros/Linux ath9k behaviour -
its supposed to match Merlin 2.0 and later Merlin chips.
AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() matches AR9280 2.0 and later chips
(AR9285, AR9287, etc.)
- instead of calling iwn_plcp_signal() for every frame, map the expected
value directly within wn->ridx
- concat plcp, rflags and xrflags, there is no clean byte boundary within
the flags, for example the antenna setting uses bit 6, 7 and 8
- there is still need for a custom rate to plcp mapping, as those expected
by the hardware are not conform to the std

aware of any workaround currently.
was not updated to pass CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT flag to opencrypto. This resulted in
always using first key.
We need to support providers created with this bug, so set special
G_ELI_FLAG_FIRST_KEY flag for GELI provider in integrity mode with version
smaller than 6 and pass the CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT flag to opencrypto only if
G_ELI_FLAG_FIRST_KEY doesn't exist.

It isn't used yet; ar5416GetWirelessModes() needs to be taught
about this rather than assuming HT20/HT40 is available.
This seems to make the AR9160 behave better during heavy scanning,
where before it'd hang and require a hard reset to recover.
