object, and eliminate the pread(2) call as well [1]. Mmap the first
page of the object temporaly, and unmap it on error or last use.
Potentially, this leaves one-page gap between succeeding dlopen(3),
but there are other mmap(2) consumers as well.
Fix several cases were the whole mapping of the object leaked on error.
Use MAP_PREFAULT_READ for mmap(2) calls which map real object pages [2].

* Resize some types. In particular, bfs_seqno can be uint16_t for now.
Previous work would assign the unassigned seqno a value of -1, which
I obviously can't do here.
* Remove bfs_pktdur. It was in the original code but nothing so far uses
it.
This gets ath_buf down (on my i386 system) to 292 bytes from 300 bytes.
I'd rather it be much, much smaller.

It's nowhere near that scary now.

the boot parameters from initarm first thing. parse_boot_param parses
the boot arguments and converts them to the /boot/loader metadata the
rest of the kernel uses. parse_boot_param is a weak alias to
fake_preload_metadata, which all the platforms use now, but may become
more extensive in the future.
Since it is a weak symbol, specific boards may define their own
parse_boot_param to interface to custom boot loaders.

ath_start() is called.
This (defaults to 10 frames) gives for a little headway in the TX ath_buf
allocation, so buffer cloning is still possible.
This requires a lot omre experimenting and tuning.
It also doesn't stop a node/TID from consuming all of the available
ath_buf's, especially when the node is going through high packet loss
or only talking at a low TX rate. It also doesn't stop a paused TID
from taking all of the ath_bufs. I'll look at fixing that up in subsequent
commits.

indx will never be -1 on error, as none of dupfdopen(), finstall() and
kern_capwrap() modifies it on error, but what is more important none of
those functions install and leave file at indx descriptor on error.
Leave an assert to prove my words.

This saves us the filedesc lock/unlock cycle, fhold()/fdrop() cycle and closes
a race between finstall() and dupfdopen().

it a bit:
- We can assert that only ENODEV and ENXIO errors are passed instead of
handling other errors.
- The caller always call finstall() for indx descriptor, so we can assume
it is set. Actually the filedesc lock is dropped between finstall() and
dupfdopen(), so there is a window there for another thread to close the
indx descriptor, but it will be closed in next commit.

If fdalloc() decides to grow fdtable it does it once and at most doubles
the size. This still may be not enough for sufficiently large fd. Use fd
in calculations of new size in order to fix this.
When growing the table, fd is already equal to first free descriptor >= minfd,
also fdgrowtable() no longer drops the filedesc lock. As a result of this there
is no need to retry allocation nor lookup.
Fix description of fd_first_free to note all return values.

chunk unnecessarily. Second, when aligning the new candidate starting
address, the wrong bits were masked off.

* Create sc_mgmt_txbuf and sc_mgmt_txdesc, initialise/free them appropriately.
* Create an enum to represent buffer types in the API.
* Extend ath_getbuf() and _ath_getbuf_locked() to take the above enum.
* Right now anything sent via ic_raw_xmit() allocates via ATH_BUFTYPE_MGMT.
This may not be very useful.
* Add ATH_BUF_MGMT flag (ath_buf.bf_flags) which indicates the current buffer
is a mgmt buffer and should go back onto the mgmt free list.
* Extend 'txagg' to include debugging output for both normal and mgmt txbufs.
* When checking/clearing ATH_BUF_BUSY, do it on both TX pools.
Tested:
* STA mode, with heavy UDP injection via iperf. This filled the TX queue
however BARs were still going out successfully.
TODO:
* Initialise the mgmt buffers with ATH_BUF_MGMT and then ensure the right
type is being allocated and freed on the appropriate list. That'd save
a write operation (to bf->bf_flags) on each buffer alloc/free.
* Test on AP mode, ensure that BAR TX and probe responses go out nicely
when the main TX queue is filled (eg with paused traffic to a TID,
awaiting a BAR to complete.)
