- Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate
when not attached to the chip as the master driver.
- Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and
ofld tx queues.
- Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any
kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table).
- A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware
to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory
("memdump" and "tcb" commands).
- Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is
primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a.
- Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip.
- Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed.
- Updates to the shared code in common/
- Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0)

queues. Try to have a set of these per port when possible, fall back
to sharing a common pool between all ports otherwise.
- One control queue per port (used to be one per hardware channel).
- t4_eth_rx now handles Ethernet rx only.
- sysctls to display pidx/cidx for some queues.

Reference code that shows how to get a packet's timestamp out of
cxgbe(4). Disabled by default because we don't have a standard way
today to pass this information up the stack.
The timestamp is 60 bits wide and each increment represents 1 tick of
the T4's core clock. As an example, the timestamp granularity is ~4.4ns
for this card:
# sysctl dev.t4nex.0.core_clock
dev.t4nex.0.core_clock: 228125

- Enable 5-tuple and every-packet lookup.
- Setup the default filter mode to allow filtering/steering based on IP
protocol, ingress port, inner VLAN ID, IP frag, FCoE, and MPS match
type; all combined together. You can also filter based on MAC index,
Ethernet type, IP TOS/IPv6 Traffic Class, and outer VLAN ID but you'll
have to modify the default filter mode and exclude some of the
match-fields in it.
IPv4 and IPv6 SIP/DIP/SPORT/DPORT are always available in all filter
rules.
- Add driver ioctls to get/set the global filter mode.
- Add driver ioctls to program and delete hardware filters. A couple of
the "switch" actions that rewrite Ethernet and VLAN information and
switch the packet out of another port may not work as the L2 code is not
yet in place. Everything else, including all "drop" and "pass" rules
with RSS or absolute qid, should work.

that could have allowed the hardware pidx to reach the cidx even though
the freelist isn't empty. (Haven't actually seen this but it was there
waiting to happen..)

now a suitable base for all kinds of egress queues.
- Add control queues (sge_ctrlq) and allocate one of these per hardware
channel. They can be used to program filters and steer traffic (and
more).

down. The ingress queue lock was unused and has been removed as part of
these changes.
- An in-flight egress update from the SGE must be handled before the
queue that requested it is destroyed. Wait for the update to arrive.
- Interrupt handlers must stop processing rx events for a queue before
the queue is destroyed. Events that have not yet been processed
should be ignored once the queue disappears.

queue has its own interrupt. If the exact number that we need is not a
power of 2 and we're using MSI, then switch to interrupt multiplexing.
While here, replace the magic numbers with something more readable.

- everything related to LRO should be in #ifdef INET blocks
- reorder sge_iq's fields so that the most frequently used are all together
- pull all rx code into t4_intr_data directly
- let go of the ingress queue lock when passing up data
- refill the freelist only if it is short of at least 32 buffers
