E.g: If the user wants to create more than 64VD on a controller,
it is not possible on current firmware/driver.
New feature and requirement to support upto 256VD, firmware/driver/apps need changes.
In addition to that, there must be a backward compatibility of the new driver with the
older firmware and vice versa.
RAID map is the interface between Driver and FW to fetch all required
fields(attributes) for each Virtual Drives.
In the earlier design driver was using the FW copy of RAID map where as
in the new design the Driver will keep the RAID map copy of its own; on which
it will operate for any raid map access in fast path.
Local driver raid map copy will provide ease of access through out the code
and provide generic interface for future FW raid map changes.
For the backward compatibility driver will notify FW that it supports 256VD
to the FW in driver capability field.
Based on the controller properly returned by the FW, the Driver will know
whether it supports 256VD or not and will copy the RAID map accordingly.
At any given time, driver will always have old or new Raid map.

These controllers seem to have the same feature of AR813x/AR815x and
improved RSS support(4 TX queues and 8 RX queues). alc(4) supports
all hardware features except RSS. I didn't implement RX checksum
offloading for AR816x/AR817x just because I couldn't get
confirmation from the Vendor whether AR816x/AR817x corrected its
predecessor's RX checksum offloading bug on fragmented packets.
This change adds supports for the following controllers.
o AR8161 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8162 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o AR8171 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller

the Needs Frag indicator may not propagate back to us. Attempt to
downshift the mss once to a preconfigured value.
Default this feature to off for now while we do not have a full PLPMTUD
implementation in our stack.
Adds the following new sysctl's for control:
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_detection -- turns on/off this feature
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_mss -- mss to try for ipv4
net.inet.tcp.v6pmtud_blackhole_mss -- mss to try for ipv6
Adds the following new sysctl's for monitoring:
-- Number of times the code was activated to attempt a mss downshift
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_activated
-- Number of times the blackhole mss was used in an attempt to downshift
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_min_activated
-- Number of times that we failed to connect after we downshifted the mss
net.inet.tcp.pmtud_blackhole_failed

E5372 with different product IDs.
Interestingly, the standard E5372 IDs (12d1:1506) are currently listed in
u3g.c and are the same as the E3131. However, the R215/E5372 is an NCM
device and works well with cdce(4) whereas the E3131 isn't. More work
may be needed to better identify the other device IDs.

run directly on netmap ports using netmap:foo or valeXX:YY device names.
Modifications to existing code are small and trivial, the netmap-specific
code is all in a new file.
Please be aware that in netmap mode the physical interface is disconnected from
the host stack, so libpcap will steal the traffic not just make a copy.

Before this change target could send R2T request for write transfer of any
size, that could violate iSCSI RFC, which allows initiator to limit maximum
R2T size by negotiating MaxBurstLength connection parameter.
Also report an error in case of write underflow, when initiator provides
less data than initiator expects. Previously in such case our target
sent R2T request for non-existing data, violating the RFC, and confusing
some initiators. SCSI specs don't explicitly define how write underflows
should be handled and there are different oppinions, but reporting error
is hopefully better then violating iSCSI RFC with unpredictable results.

we can't easily predict (in current parsing model)
if the keyword is ipfw(8) reserved keyword or port name.
Checking proto database via getprotobyname() consumes a lot of
CPU and leads to tens of seconds for parsing large ruleset.
Use list of reserved keywords and check them as pre-requisite
before doing getprotobyname().

It was found that VirtualBox' AHCI does not allow nterrupt to be cleared
before the interrupt status register is read, causing interrupt storm.
AHCI specification allows to skip this register use when multi-vector MSI
is enabled and so interrupting port is known. For single-vector MSI that
is not stated explicitly, but if the port is only one, it is obviously
known too.
