prevent/workaround TX lockups in this driver. The secret seems to be to
not let the TX DMA queue become too full. If we have too many packets
in the queue, we should wait for them to drain a bit before trying to
queue more. This should prevent the lockup from occurring, and if it
does occur, there is special code in sf_start() to kick the NIC in the
head and get it going again.

a bunch of frames. In this case, the dc_link flag is cleared, and dc_start()
stops draining the if_snd send queue, which results in lots of 'no buffers
available' errors being reported to applications. The whole idea behind
not draining the send queue until the link comes up was to avoid having
the gratuitous ARP being lost while we're waiting for autoneg to complete
after the interface is first brought up. As an optimization, change the
test in dc_start() so that we only bail if dc_link is not set _and_ there
are less than 10 packets in the send queue. If the queue has many frames
in it, we need to drain them. If the queue has a small number of frames
in it, we can hold off on sending them until the link comes up.

something: offset into the first mbuf of the target chain before copying
the source data over.
Make drivers using m_devget() with a first argument "data - ETHER_ALIGN"
to use the offset argument to pass ETHER_ALIGN in. The way it was previously
done is potentially dangerous if the source data was at the top of a page
and the offset caused the previous page to be copied (if the
previous page has not yet been appropriately mapped).
The old `offset' argument in m_devget() is not used anywhere (it's always
0) and dates back to ~1995 (and earlier?) when support for ethernet trailers
existed. With that support gone, it was merely collecting dust.

There is a trick which will work with the boomerang, which is to turn
on the 'large packets ok' bit in the MAC control register, however this
lets the chip accept any frame up to 4K in length, which is larger than
the mbuf cluster buffers we use to receive frames. If somebody sends us
such a frame and the chip DMAs it to us, it could write past the end

and panic in sk_setmulti() at driver load/initialization time.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include

the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared

is already in 32-bit mode, we need to be able to detect this and still
read the chip ID code. Detecting 32-bit mode is actually a little
tricky, since we want to avoid turning it on accidentally. The easiest
way to do it is to just try and read the PCI subsystem ID from the
bus control registers using 16-bit accesses and compare that with the
value read from PCI config space. If they match, then we know we're in
16-bit mode, otherwise we assume 32-bit mode.
16-bit mode. Technically, pcn_probe() is destructive because once the
chip goes into 32-bit mode, the only way to get it out again is a
hardware reset. And once the device is in 32-bit mode, the lnc driver
won't be able to talk to it. So if pcn_probe() is called before the
lnc probe routine, and pcn_probe() rejects the chip as one it doesn't
support, the lnc driver will be SOL.
I don't like this. I think it's a design flaw that you can't switch
the chip out of 32-bit mode once it's selected. The only 'right'
solution is for the pcn driver to support all of the PCI devices

of interrupts generated by the chip. You're supposed to get a 'no more
TX buffers left' interrupt once you hit the last packet whether you
ask for one or not, however it seems the Davicom chip doesn't generate
this interrupt, or at least it doesn't generate it under the same
circumstances. The result is that if you transmit n packets, where
n is less than 64, and then wait 5 seconds, you'll get a watchdog
timeout whether you want one or not. The DC_TX_INTR_ALWAYS causes
dc_encap() to request an interrupt for every frame.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
