- Layout reorganisation to enhance portability. The driver now has
a relatively MI 'core' and a FreeBSD-specific layer over the top.
Since the NetBSD people have already done their own port, this is
largely just to help me with the BSD/OS port.
- Request ID allocation changed to improve performance (I'd been
considering switching to this approach after having failed to come
up with a better way to dynamically allocate request IDs, and seeing
Andy Doran use it in the NetBSD port of the driver convinced me
that I was wasting my time doing it any other way). Now we just
allocate all the requests up front.
- Maximum request count bumped back to 255 after characterisation
of a firmware issue (off-by-one causing it to crash with 256
outstanding commands).
- Control interface implemented. This allows 3ware's '3dm' utility to
talk to the controller. 3dm will be available from 3ware shortly.
- Controller soft-reset feature added; if the controller signals a
firmware or protocol error, the controller will be reset and all
outstanding commands will be retried.
type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

usb_ethersubr.c. This module maintains two queues for packets which
are each protected with one mutex. These are all the changes I can
do for now. Removing the USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag doesn't work yet: when
I tried it, the system would usually freeze up after a NIC had been
operating for a while. The usb_ethersubr module itself ought to
go away; this is the next thing I need to test.

Have if_ti stop "hiding" the softc pointer in the buffer region. Rather,
use the available void * passed to the free routine and pass the softc
pointer through there.
To note: in MEXTADD(), TI_JUMBO_FRAMELEN should probably be TI_JLEN. I left it
unchanged, because this way I'm sure to not damage anything in this respect...
length of the data properly. This should be moved into a tty_subr

Also, disanle the setting of the CDC_CM_OVER_DATA flag. It breaks some
modems. I don't think that ther actually is a modem that needs this.

o Change name of bus
o Change the panic on resource allocation failure to just a message. We'll
work out why this fails later in the pcic/pccbb code merge.
This commit adds support for Xircom X3201 based cardbus cards.
Support for the TDK 78Q2120 MII is also added.
IBM Etherjet, Intel and Xircom cards uses these chips.
Note that as a result of this commit, some Intel/DEC 21143 based cardbus
cards will also attach, but not get link. That is being looked at.

even when it did wake up after entropy arrived, it exited after the
wakeup without actually reading the freshly arrived entropy. I
sent this to Mark before but it seems he is in transit.
Mark: feel free to replace this if it gets in your way.

This doesn't work with 16bit pccards under NEWCARD.
Enable in your config by having "device pccbb" and "device cardbus".
(A "device pccard" will attach a pccard bus, but it means you system have
a high chance of panicing when a 16bit card is inserted)
It should be fairly simple to make a driver attach to cardbus under
NEWCARD -- simply add an entry for attaching to cardbus on a new
DRIVER_MODULE and add new device IDs as necessary. You should also make
sure the card can be detached nicely without the interrupt routine doing
something weird, like going into an infinite loop. Usually that should
entail adding an additional check when a pci register or the bus space is
read to check if it equals 0xffffffff.
Any problems, please let me know.

o Remember the resources we allocate for the config entry.
o When we get the resource, do an resource_list_add and do a
resource_list_delete if we fail later in the resource list.
o In the pccard bus, we allocate the resources. When a child asks for
them, just return the resources that we allocated (thanks to Paul
Richards and Mike Smith for the idea).
