Bjoern A. Zeeb dcceaf9f3c Merge atse(4) interrupt handling and race condition fixes from cheribsd:
commit 8bd88585ed

    Rework atse_rx_cycles handling: count packets instead of fills, and use the
    limit only when polling, not when in interrupt mode.  Otherwise, we may
    stop reading the FIFO midpacket and clear the event mask even though the
    FIFO still has data to read, which could stall receive when a large packet
    arrives.  Add a comment about races in the Altera FIFO interface: we may
    need to do a little more work to handle races than we are.

commit 20b39086cc

    Use 'sizeof(data)' rather than '4' when checking an mbuf bound, as is the
    case for adjusting length/etc.

commit e18953174a

    Break out atse_intr() into two separate routines, one for each of the two
    interrupt sources: receive and transmit.

commit 6deedb4324

    For the RX interrupt, take interest only in ALMOSTEMPTY and OVERFLOW.
    For the TX interrupt, take interest only in ALMOSTFULL and UNDERFLOW.

    Perform TX atse_start_locked() once rather than twice in TX interrupt
    handling -- and only if !FULL, rather than unconditionally.

commit 12601972ba

    Experimentation suggests that the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet documentation
    is incorrect and bits in the event and interrupt-enable registers are not
    irrationally rearranged relative to the status register.

commit 3cff2ffad7

    Substantially rework interrupt handling in the atse(4) driver:

    - Introduce a new macro ATSE_TX_PENDING() which checks whether there is
      any pending data to transmit, either in an in-progress packet or in
      the TX queue.
    - Introduce new ATSE_RX_STATUS_READ() and ATSE_TX_STAUTS_WRITE() macros
      that query the FIFO status registers rather than event registers,
      offering level- rather than edge-triggered FIFO conditions.
    - For RX, interrupt only on full/overflow/underflow; for TX, interrupt
      only on empty/overflow/underflow.
    - Add new ATSE_RX_INTR_READ() and ATSE_RX_INTR_WRITE() macros useful for
      debugging interrupt behaviour.
    - Add a debug.atse_intr_debug_enable sysctl that causes various pieces
      of FIFO state to be printed out on each RX or TX interrupt.  This is
      disabled by default but good to turn on if the interface appears to
      wedge.  Also print debugging information when polling.
    - In the watchdog handler, do receive, not just transmit, processing, to
      ensure that the rx, not just tx, queue is being handled -- and, in
      particular, will be drained such that interrupts can resume.
    - Rework both atse_rx_intr() and atse_tx_intr() to eliminate many race
      conditions, and add comments on why various things are in various
      orders.  Interactions between modifications to the event and interrupt
      masks are quite subtle indeed, and we must actively check for a number
      of races (e.g., event mask cleared; packet arrives; interrupts enabled).
      We also now use the status registers rather than event registers for
      FIFO status checks to avoid other races; we continue to use event
      registers for underflow/overflow.

    With this change, interrupt-driven operation of atse appears (for the
    time being) robust.
