replace mii_phy_probe() altogether. Compared to the latter the advantages
of mii_attach() are:
- intended to be called multiple times in order to attach PHYs in multiple
passes (f.e. in order to only use sub-ranges of the 0 to MII_NPHY - 1
range)
- being able to pass along the capability mask from the NIC to the PHY
drivers
- being able to specify at which address (phyloc) to probe for a PHY
(instead of always probing at all addresses from 0 to MII_NPHY - 1)
- being able to specify which PHY instance (offloc) to attach
- being able to pass along MIIF_* flags from the NIC to the PHY drivers
(f.e. as required to indicated to the PHY drivers that flow control is
supported by the NIC driver, which actually is the motivation for this
change).
While at it, I used the opportunity to get rid of some hacks in mii(4)
like miibus_probe() generally doing work besides sheer probing and the
"EVIL HACK" (which will vanish entirely along with mii_phy_probe()) by
passing the struct ifnet pointer via an argument of mii_attach() as well
as to fix some resource leaks in mii(4) in case something fails.
Commits which will update the PHY drivers to honor the MII flags passed
down from the NIC drivers and take advantage of mii_attach() to get rid
of certain types of hacks in NIC and PHY drivers as well as a conversion
of the remaining uses of mii_phy_probe() will follow shortly.

proper solution which is to not use the TERMINATE pointer, but rather
link to a halted TD. The initial fix was due to a misunderstanding
about how the EHCI hardware works. Thanks to Alan Stern for clearing
this up. This patch can increase mass storage read performance
significantly when the IRQ rate is less than 8000 IRQ/s.

header parser uses m_pullup(9) to get access to mbuf chain.
m_pullup(9) can allocate new mbuf chain and free old one if the
space left in the mbuf chain is not enough to hold requested
contiguous bytes. Previously drivers can use stale ip/tcp header
pointer if m_pullup(9) returned new mbuf chain.

port such that reading station address from second port always
returned 0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF Unfortunately it seems there
is no easy way to know whether SROM is shared or not. Workaround
the issue by traversing dc(4) device list and see whether we're
using second port and use station address of controller 0 as base
station address of second port.

auto polling such that it made all controllers obtain link status
information from the state of the LNKRDY input signal. Broadcom
recommends disabling auto polling such that driver should rely on
PHY interrupts for link status change indications. Unfortunately it
seems some controllers(BCM5703, BCM5704 and BCM5705) have PHY
related issues so Linux took other approach to workaround it.
bge(4) didn't follow that and it used to enable auto polling to
workaround it. Restore this old behavior for BCM5700 family
controllers and BCM5705 to use auto polling. For BCM5700 and
BCM5701, it seems it does not need to enable auto polling but I
restored it for safety.
Special thanks to marius who tried lots of patches with patience.

- correct the ethernet payload remainder which
must be post-offseted by -14 bytes instead of
0 bytes. This is not very clearly defined in the
NCM specification.
- add development feature about limiting the
maximum datagram count in each NCM payload.
- zero-pad alignment data
- add TX-interval tuning sysctl

BCM5700 with external SSRAM is the only controller that supports

receive producer ring. Otherwise, it caused unexpected RX DMA
error or watchdog timeouts.

Short description of the changes:
- attempt to retry some commands for which it is possible (read, query)
- always make a short sleep before checking EC status in polled mode
- periodically poll EC status in interrupt mode
- change logic for detecting broken interrupt delivery and falling back
to polled mode
- check that EC is ready for input before starting a new command, wait
if necessary

before setting the flag, interrupt was already enabled such that
interrupt handler could be run before setting IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag.
This can lose initial link state change interrupt which in turn
make bge(4) think that it still does not have valid link. Fix this
race by protecting the taskqueue with a driver lock.
While I'm here move reenabling interrupt code after handling of link
state chage.

Previously bge(4) always enabled auto polling for non-BGE_FLAG_TBI
controllers. With this change, auto polling is not used anymore so
polling through mii(4) was introduced.

It seems axe(4) controllers support interrupt endpoint such that
enabling interrupt endpoint generates about 1000 interrupts/sec.
Controllers transfer 8 bytes data through interrupt endpoint and
the data include link UP/DOWN state as well as some PHY related
information. Previously axe(4) didn't use the transferred data and
didn't even try to read the data. Because axe(4) counts on mii(4)
to detect link state changes there is no need to use interrupt
endpoint here.
This change fixes generation of unnecessary interrupts which was
seen when interface is brought to UP.
