OpenBSD changes. With these changes, PHY part of the driver becomes
functional (it senses media changes and negotiates speed just fine),
previously it just hang with no PHY message, but no data goes through
interface (error message is "can not stop transfer of Tx/Rx descriptor).
Hopefully somebody with more clue/free time will be able to pick up
after me.
- MPSAFE. No more recursive lock required.
- bus_dma(9) conversion. I think it should work on all architectures.
- optimized Rx handler for each normal and jumbo frames. Previously
sk(4) used jumbo frame management code to handle normal sized
frames. As the handler needs an additional lock to protect jumbo
frame management structure from races, it used two lock operations
for each received packet. Now sk(4) uses single lock operation for
normal frame.(Jumbo frame still needs two lock operations as before.)
The hardware supports DMA scatter operations for Rx descriptors such
that it's possible to take advantagee of m_cljget(9) for jumbo frames.
However, due to a unknown reasons it resulted in poor performance on
sparc64. So I dropped m_cljget(9) approach. This should be revisited
since it would reduce one lock operation for jumbo frame handling.
- Tx TCP/Rx IP checksum offload support. According to the data sheet
of SK-NET GENESIS the hardware supports Rx IP/TCP/UDP offload.
But I couldn't make it work on my Yukon hardware. So Rx TCP/UDP was
disabled at the moment. It seems that newer Yukon chips can support
Tx UDP checksum offload too. But I need more documentation first.
- Added more wait time in reading VPD data. It seems that ASUS LOM
takes a very long time to respond VPD read signal.
- Added an additional lock for MII register access callbacks.
- Added more strict received packet validation routine. Previously it
passed corrupted packets to upper layers under certain conditions.
- A new function sk_yukon_tick() to handle auto-negotiation properly.
- Interrupt handler now checks shared interrupt source and protects
the interrupt handler from NULL pointer dereference which was caused
by odd status word value. The status word can returns 0xffffffff if
cable is unplugged while Rx/Tx/auto-negotiation is in progress.
- suspend/resume support(not tested).
- Added Rx/Tx FIFO flush routine for Yukon
- Activate Tx descriptor poll timer in order to protect possible loss
of SK_TXBMU_TX_START command. Previously the driver continuously issued
SK_TXBMU_TX_START when it notices pending Tx descriptors not processed
yet in interrupt handler. That approach would add additional PCI
write access overhead under high Tx load situations and it might fail
if the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START was lost and no interrupt is generated
from the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START command.
- s/printf/if_printf/, s/printf/device_printf/, Axe sk_unit in softc.
- Setting multicast/station address is now safe on strict-alignment
architectures.
- Fix long standing bug in VLAN header length setup.
- Added/corrected register definitions for Yukon.
(Register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Added Rx status definition for Marvell Yukon/XaQti XMAC.
(Rx status register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Update if_oerrors if we encounter watchdog error.
- callout(9) conversion
Special thanks to jkim who let me know RX status differences between
Yukon and XaQti XMAC.
It seems that there is still occasional watchdog timeout error but I
couldn't reproduce it and need more information to analyze it from
users.

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
