This update brings few features:
o Support for the setmaster/dropmaster ioctls. For instance, they
are used to run multiple X servers simultaneously.
o Support for minor devices. The only user-visible change is a new
entry in /dev/dri but it is useless at the moment. This is a
first step to support render nodes [1].
The main benefit is to greatly reduce the diff with Linux (at the
expense of an unreadable commit diff). Hopefully, next upgrades will be
easier.
No updates were made to the drivers, beside adapting them to API
changes.

- Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
two parts, making for easier sustaining.
- Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
will eliminate that problem.
- The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
has been requested for some time.
- Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
- It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
or the other for streamlined installs, or both.
Enjoy!

drivers can use it. This avoids some code duplication. Add missing
default case to all switch statements while at it. Also move the
hashing of the IPv6 flow field to layer 4 because the IPv6 flow field
is constant on a per L4 connection basis and not on a per L3 network.

KERNBUILDDIR. Come up with some sensible defaults (though listing them
in kmod.mk may be unwise -- we have no easy way to know what are the
best sensible defaults for everything so we just catch the big stuff).
Append SRCS.${opt} for each option in KERN_OPTS to SRCS to allow easy
conditional compilation. Append any notion of KERN_OPTS_EXTRA to the
list of kernel opts.

this option from all modules that enable it theirselves.
In C mode -fms-extensions option enables anonymous structs and unions,
allowing us to use this C11 feature in kernel. Of course, clang supports
it without any extra options.

changes are imported as needed.
Biggest update is the rewrite of the i915 gem io to more closely
follow Linux model, althought the mechanism used by FreeBSD port is
different.

include file isn't actually used. It is only for certain Trump Cards

got permission to include the required FPGA image in our sources under
the BSDL, but didn't start actually including the file. This was done
to provide a public paper trail for this file.

- Major change in both drivers is to add RSS support
- In ixl fix some interface speed related issues, dual
speed was not changing correctly, KR/X media was not
displaying correctly (this has a workaround until a
more robust media handling is in place)
- Add a warning when using Dell NPAR and the speed is
less than 10G
- Wrap a queue hung message in IXL_DEBUG, as it is non-fatal,
and without tuning can display excessively

DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and minimise
latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit
Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable hardware as a
congestion signal.
Highlights:
Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module.
ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently from
RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.

fallback targets to build the aic generated files. fmake doesn't like
the current construct, and since it doesn't have .MAKE.LEVEL, just
don't provide the fallback targets for fmake. This gives a little
extra compatibility to old systems trying to build new kernels at
almost no cost to the current code.
