unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

Previously rl(4) continuously checked whether there are RX events
or TX completions in forever loop. This caused TX starvation under
high RX load as well as consuming too much CPU cycles in the
interrupt handler. If interrupt was shared with other devices which
may be always true due to USB devices in these days, rl(4) also
tried to process the interrupt. This means polling(4) was the only
way to mitigate the these issues.
To address these issues, rl(4) now disables interrupts when it
knows the interrupt is ours and limit the number of iteration of
the loop to 16. The interrupt would be enabled again before exiting
interrupt handler if the driver is still running. Because RX buffer
is 64KB in size, the number of iterations in the loop has nothing
to do with number of RX packets being processed. This change
ensures sending TX frames under high RX load.
RX handler drops a driver lock to pass received frames to upper
stack such that there is a window that user can down the interface.
So rl(4) now checks whether driver is still running before serving
RX or TX completion in the loop.
While I'm here, exit interrupt handler when driver initialized
controller.
With this change, now rl(4) can send frames under high RX load even
though the TX performance is still not good(rl(4) controllers can't
queue more than 4 frames at a time so low TX performance was one of
design issue of rl(4) controllers). It's much better than previous
TX starvation and you should not notice RX performance drop with
this change. Controller still shows poor performance under high
network load but for many cases it's now usable without resorting
to polling(4).

IFF_ALLMULTI/IFF_PROMISC as well as multicast filter configuration.
Rewrite RX filter logic to reduce number of register accesses and
make it handle promiscuous/allmulti toggling without controller
reinitialization.
Previously rl(4) counted on controller reinitialization to reprogram
promiscuous configuration but r211767 resulted in avoiding
controller reinitialization whenever promiscuous mode is toggled.
To address this, keep track of driver's view of interface state and
handle IFF_ALLMULTI/IFF_PROMISC changes without reinitializing
controller. This should fix a regression introduced in r211267.

register mapping. I'm not sure whether it comes from the fact that
controllers live behind certain PCI brdge(PLX PCI 6152 33BC) and
the bridge has some issues in handling I/O space register mapping.
Unfortunately it's not possible to narrow down to an exact
controller that shows this issue because RealTek used the same PCI
device/revision id again. In theory, it's possible to check parent
PCI bridge device and change rl(4) to use memory space register
mapping if the parent PCI bridge is PLX PCI 6152. But I didn't try
to do that and we wouldn't get much benefit with added complexity.
Blindly switching to use memory space register mapping for rl(4)
may make most old controllers not to work. At least, I don't want
to take potential risk from such change. So use I/O space register
mapping by default but give users chance to override it via a
tunable. The tunable to use memory space register mapping would be
given by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf file.

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

- Removed rl_dma_map_rxbuf()/rl_dma_map_txbuf() callbacks.
- The hardware does not support descriptor based DMA on Tx side
and the Tx buffer address should be aligned on 4 bytes boundary
as well as manual padding for short frames. Because of this
hardware limitation rl(4) always used to invoke m_defrag(9) to
get a 4 bytes aligned single buffer. However m_defrag(9) takes
a lot of CPU cycles on slow machines and not all packets need
the help of m_defrag(9). Armed with the information, don't
invoke m_defrag(9) if the following conditions are true.
1. Buffer is not fragmented.
2. Buffer is aligned on 4 bytes boundary.
3. Manual padding is not necessary.
4. Or padding is necessary but upper stack passed a writable
buffer and the space needed for padding is satisfied.
This change combined with preallocated DMA maps greatly
increased Tx performance of driver on sparc64.
- Moved bus_dmamap_sync(9) in rl_start_locked() to rl_encap() and
corrected memory synchronization operation specifier of
bus_dmamap_sync(9).
- Removed bus_dmamap_unload(9) in rl_stop(). There is no need to
reload/unload Rx buffer as rl(4) always have to copy from the
buffer. It just needs proper bus_dmamap_sync(9) calls before
copying the received frame.
With this change rl(4) should work on systems with more than 4GB

0xfff0 is special meaning that indicates hardware is in the
process of copying a packet into host memory. But it seems
there are other cases that hardware is busy or stuck in bad

To work-around this condition, add a check that verifys that

of range reinitialize hardware to recover from stuck condition.
