something: offset into the first mbuf of the target chain before copying
the source data over.
Make drivers using m_devget() with a first argument "data - ETHER_ALIGN"
to use the offset argument to pass ETHER_ALIGN in. The way it was previously
done is potentially dangerous if the source data was at the top of a page
and the offset caused the previous page to be copied (if the
previous page has not yet been appropriately mapped).
The old `offset' argument in m_devget() is not used anywhere (it's always
0) and dates back to ~1995 (and earlier?) when support for ethernet trailers
existed. With that support gone, it was merely collecting dust.

- Use pci_get_powerstate()/pci_set_powerstate() in all the other drivers
that need them so we don't have to fiddle with the PCI power management
registers directly.
- Use pci_enable_busmaster()/pci_enable_io() to turn on busmastering and
PIO/memory mapped accesses.
- Add support to the RealTek driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ which has
a RealTek 8139 with its own PCI ID. (Submitted by Jason Wright)
- Have the SiS 900/National DP83815 driver be sure to disable PME
mode in sis_reset(). This apparently fixes a problem on some
motherboards where the DP83815 chip fails to receive packets.

All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include
the MTX_RECURSE bit in the flag argument variable. This change is in
preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared
in the architecture-specific code, all of the network card driver locks
in pci/, as well as some other locks in dev/ stuff that I've found to
be recursive.

that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

Note that if_aue doesn't strictly depend on usb because it uses the
method interface for calls rather than using internal symbols, and
because it's a child driver of usb and therefore will not try and do
anything unless the parent usb code is loaded at some point. if_aue does
strictly depend on miibus as it will fail to link if it is missing.

declaration for the interface driver from "foo" to "if_foo" but leave the
declaration for the miibus attached to the interface driver alone. This
lets the internal module name be "if_foo" while still allowing the miibus
instances to attach to "foo."
This should allow ifconfig to autoload driver modules again without
breaking the miibus attach.
This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:
- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:
if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo
This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
principle of least astonishment.
- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
drivers attached never get them.
In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.

- In wb_rxeof(), if the received packet is less than MINCLSIZE bytes,

- The Winbond chip, like the ASIX, wants the 'TX interrupt request'
bit set in the _first_ fragment of a transmitted frame, not the
last. (At least the Winbond manual states this unambiguously; too
bad I wasn't paying attention when I read it the first time.)
- Turn off the transmit threshold mechanism (initialize the threshold
to 0). This effectively puts the chip in 'store and forward' mode
which seems to cut down on transmit errors a little. It may also
reduce transmit performace a bit, but I'm willing to do that if it
means better reliability.
