registers, so add a register offset array to the softc. We key off the
device ID to determine which set of register offsets. Currently the 8385
host bridge used on amd64 is the only bridge to use the AGP3_VIA_*
register offsets and all other bridges use the AGP_VIA_* offsets. It is
currently unclear if the AGP3_VIA_* offsets are for VIA bridges that
implement AGP 3.0 bridges or just for amd64 bridges.

caller to vm_page_grab(). Although this gives VM_ALLOC_ZERO a
different meaning for vm_page_grab() than for vm_page_alloc(), I feel
such change is necessary to accomplish other goals. Specifically, I
want to make the PG_ZERO flag immutable between the time it is
allocated by vm_page_alloc() and freed by vm_page_free() or
vm_page_free_zero() to avoid locking overheads. Once we gave up on
the ability to automatically recognize a zeroed page upon entry to
vm_page_free(), the ability to mutate the PG_ZERO flag became useless.
Instead, I would like to say that "Once a page becomes valid, its
PG_ZERO flag must be ignored."

status registers for error conditions and updating statistics
when there are cycles left (inspired by the nge(4) driver).
- Removed the TX list counter and the producer/consumer gap; it's
enough to just ensure we don't reuse the last (free) descriptor,
as the chip may not have read its next pointer yet. If we reuse
it, the TX may stall under a heavy TX load with polling enabled.
- Dropped code to recharge the watchdog timer, it's pointless; the
watchdog routine will re-init the chip and both RX and TX lists.
without the (defunct) isa compatibility shims. The new-bus-specific
parts are very similar to the ones for the pci probe and attach.
This was held up too long waiting for a repo copy to src/sys/dev/cy,
so I decided to fix the files in their old place. This gives easier
to read and merge diffs anyway.
The "count" line in src/sys/conf/files won't be changed until after
the repo copy, so old kernel configs that specify a count need not be
(and must not be) changed until then. The count is just ignored in
the driver. One unfinished detail is dynamic allocation of arrays
with <count> and (<count> * 32) entries, and iteration over the arrays.
This is now kludged with a fixed count of 10 (up to 10 cards with up
to 32 ports each).

Under polling(4), we counted non-existent output packets and wasted
CPU cycles, corrected. (PR kern/64975.)
The fix in revision 1.71 to correct resetting of the watchdog timer
was wrong.
In rl(4), the TX list does not have a gap between the consumer and
producer, so the "empty TX list" test was wrong, corrected.
Also, resetting the timer to five each time we know there is still
some TX work to do was a bad idea -- under polling(4), if the chip
goes out to lunch, this results in the watchdog routine to _never_
be called. Instead, let the timer downgrade to zero and fire the
watchdog, then reset it to five when it is zero AND there is some
TX work left. (Most other network drivers need this fix too.)

Moved the RX ring resyncing code to ste_rxeoc(), and only run it
if we were asked to POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS, under DEVICE_POLLING.
(This significantly reduces the CPU load.)
Improved the RX ring resyncing code by re-checking if the head
is still empty before doing resyncing. This mostly affects the
DEVICE_POLLING mode, where we run this code periodically. We
could start checking with an empty head (well, an empty ring
even), and after doing a few iterations, the chip might write
a few entries, including the head, and we would bogusly consider
this case as requiring resyncing. On a test box, this reduced
the number of resyncs done by a factor of 10.
In ste_txeof(sc), only reset the watchdog timer to zero when
the TX list is completely empty.
Converted ste_tx_prev_idx to a pointer -- faster.
Removed some bitrot.
the driver's RX ring head may fall behind the chip, causing the
stuck traffic, disordered packets, etc. Work around this by
adopting the technique of resyncing RX head used in dc(4) and
xl(4) drivers, but do it in a slightly different place to reduce
the number of resyncs needed.
Also, set the NIC's RX polling period to a more meaningful value,
to stop overloading the PCI bus (this also reduces the number of
resyncs by a factor of 3 or more in a long run; the actual number
is very dependent on a nature of the traffic).
Maintain the statistics counter as the hw.ste_rxsyncs sysctl.
