We still use the interrupt filter due to performance problems that show up if
we don't. The main problem seen is that, due to the interrupt being edge
triggered, we occasionally miss interrupts which leads us to not notice that
we can transmit more packets. Using the new approach, which just schedules
a task on a taskqueue, we are guaranteed to have the task run even if the
interrupt arrived while we were already executing. If we were to use an
ithread the system would mask the interrupt while the handler is run and we'd
miss interrupts.

In the FreeBSD base system, there are only two utilities that use struct
tty, namely pstat and sicontrol. The sicontrol utility calls the
TCSI_TTY ioctl(), which copies struct tty back to userspace.
sicontrol should not have this functionality. The same data is already
provided by pstat. If we really want to be able to export these numbers
through a file descriptor to userspace, we can export struct xtty, which
should provide a better abstraction. The ttystat option was only used as
a debugging aid.
This makes sicontrol compile in the mpsafetty branch.

to do things like set initial tx parameters in private node
state for use prior to association
o pass the mac address as cards that maintain outboard station
tables require this to create an entry (e.g. in ibss mode)
o remove the node table reference, we only have one node table

o Replace an unconditional 30ms DELAY (yes, busy wait) with a check of the

For reference, the SMSC LAN91C111 is a non-PCI ethernet part whose lineage
dates back to Ye Olde Days of ISA. It seems to get some use in the embedded
space these days on parts lacking on-board MACs or on-board PCI controllers,
such as the XScale PXA line of ARM CPUs.
This also includes a driver for the SMSC LAN83C183 10/100 PHY.

end and do it after ether_ifattach().
- Use ie_stop() and ieinit_locked() in iereset() rather than frobbing IFF_UP
and invoking ieioctl().
- Use DELAY() to implement a spin loop on a register with a timeout rather
than scheduling a timeout and then doing a tight spin on the register.
In the non-MPSAFE case this would never have worked because the spinning
code held Giant and the timeout routine would have been blocked on Giant
forever. The same approach would not worke in the MPSAFE case either for
the same reason, hence use a loop around DELAY().

- Call ieinit_locked() directly rather than ieioctl(!) from ie_mc_reset().
