c91bcaaab5 Minor cleanup: use bitwise ops instead of pointless wrappers around
setbit/clrbit.

e682d02e12 Support for TCP DDP (Direct Data Placement) in the T4 TOE module.
Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible.  TCP payload is
DMA'd directly into the userspace buffer described by the uio submitted
in soreceive by an application.

- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
  of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
  "ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default.  Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.

1f1b5a0f6f Add a routine (t4_set_tcb_field) to update arbitrary parts of a hardware
TCB.  Filters are programmed by modifying the TCB too (via a different
routine) and the reply to any TCB update is delivered via a
CPL_SET_TCB_RPL.  Figure out whether the reply is for a filter-write or
something else and route it appropriately.

09fe63205c - Updated TOE support in the kernel.
- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
  These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
  and cxgbe(4) respectively.  The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
  usual with or without these extra features.

- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs).  T4 iWARP in the
  works and will follow soon.

Build-tested with make universe.

30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload?  Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE

Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe

Which connections are offloaded?  Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe
