upgrading to new releases. Important parts of this code include
* automatically determining which optional components (e.g., src,
info, proflibs) are installed.
* merging changes in files which are modified locally and have
changed between the currently running and new release.
* prompting the user to rebuild all 3rd party software before
deleting old shared libraries.
Yes, this is compatible with "freebsd-update rollback" -- you can
test a new -BETA and roll back to the old release if you don't
like it.
Subject to re@ approval, this will be MFCed before 7.0-BETA3 and
6.3-RC1.

changes:
01 - Enhanced LRO:
LRO feature is extended to support multi-buffer mode. Previously,
Ethernet frames received in contiguous buffers were offloaded.
Now, frames received in multiple non-contiguous buffers can be
offloaded, as well. The driver now supports LRO for jumbo frames.
02 - Locks Optimization:
The driver code was re-organized to limit the use of locks.
Moreover, lock contention was reduced by replacing wait locks
with try locks.
03 - Code Optimization:
The driver code was re-factored to eliminate some memcpy
operations. Fast path loops were optimized.
04 - Tag Creations:
Physical Buffer Tags are now optimized based upon frame size.
For better performance, Physical Memory Maps are now re-used.
05 - Configuration:
Features such as TSO, LRO, and Interrupt Mode can be configured
either at load or at run time. Rx buffer mode (mode 1 or mode 2)
can be configured at load time through kenv.
06 - Driver Statistics:
Run time statistics are enhanced to provide better visibility
into the driver performance.
07 - Bug Fixes:
The driver contains fixes for the problems discovered and
reported since last submission.
08 - MSI support:
Added Message Signaled Interrupt feature which currently uses 1
message.
09 Removed feature:
Rx 3 buffer mode feature has been removed. Driver now supports 1,
2 and 5 buffer modes of which 2 and 5 buffer modes can be used
for header separation.
10 Compiler warning:
Fixed compiler warning when compiled for 32 bit system.
11 Copyright notice:
Source files are updated with the proper copyright notice.

__MAKE_SHELL variable. This feature isn't supposed to be in wide
use, but it's needed now to make `installworld' independent of the
stock binaries and libs so that radical ABI changes can go in safely.
