This fixes a long standing bug in mxge(4) where "ifconfig mxge0 $IP"
did not bring the interface into a RUNNING state, like it does on
most (all?) other FreeBSD NIC drivers.
Thanks to gnn for mentioning the bug, and yongari for pointing out that
ether_ioctl() invokes ifp->if_init() in SIOCSIFADDR.

- Add the change made in em to the actual unrefreshed number
of descriptors is used as a basis in rxeof on the way out
to determine if more refresh is needed. NOTE: there is a
difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.
- Change the sysctl handling of flow control, it will now make
the change dynamically when the variable setting changes rather
than requiring a reset.
- Change the eee sysctl naming, validation found the old unintuitive :)
- Last but not least, some important performance tweaks in the TX
path, I found that UDP behavior could be drastically hindered or
improved with just small changes in the start loop. What I have
here is what testing has shown to be the best overall. Its interesting
to note that changing the clean threshold to start at a full half of
the ring, made a BIG difference in performance. I hope that this
will prove to be advantageous for most workloads.

show that there are perfectly working PM timers with occasional "hiccups",
probably because of an SMI. Now we ignore the maximum if it happens once in
the test loop and the width is small enough. Also, relax normal width a bit
to count in a boundary case.
Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

on the fact that real hardware has almost fixed cost to read the ACPI timer.
It is virtually always false for hardware emulation and it makes no sense to
read it multiple times, which is already quite expensive for full emulation.
From the ath9k source:

11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor.
MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host
buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets
to a sender if last desc is self-linked.

Since this is useful for pre-AR5416 chips that communicate PHY errors
via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support
in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.
- Add more fields for USB device and host mode
- Add more information to USB PF header so that decoding
can easily be done by software analyzer tools like
Wireshark.
- Optimise usbdump to display USB streams in text format
more efficiently.
- Software using USB PF must be recompiled after
this commit, due to structure changes.

The eventual aim is to replace these with specific drivers for
the various bootloaders (redboot, uboot, etc.) This however will
work for the time being until it can be properly addressed.

remapping occurs force a retry thru the offload

this and cooking up the fix!!
to calculate the outstanding descriptors that need to be
refreshed at any time, and use THAT in rxeof to determine
if refreshing needs to be done. Also change the local_timer
to simply fire off the appropriate interrupt rather than
schedule a tasklet, its simpler.

bus driver will now remember the size of a BAR obtained during the initial
bus scan and use that size when doing lazy resource allocation rather than
resizing the BAR. The bus driver will now also report unallocated BARs to
userland for display by 'pciconf -lb'. Psuedo-resources that are not BARs
(such as the implicit I/O port resources for master/slave ATA controllers)
will no longer be listed as BARs in 'pciconf -lb'. During resume, BARs are
restored from their new saved state instead of having the raw registers
saved and restored across resume. This also fixes restoring BARs at
unusual loactions if said BAR has been allocated by a driver.
Add a constant for the offset of the ROM BIOS BAR in PCI-PCI bridges and
properly handle ROM BIOS BARs in PCI-PCI bridges. The PCI bus now also
properly handles the lack of a ROM BIOS BAR in a PCI-Cardbus bridge.

Introduce the AHB glue for Atheros embedded systems. Right now it's
hard-coded for the AR9130 chip whose support isn't yet in this HAL;
it'll be added in a subsequent commit.
Kernel configuration files now need both 'ath' and 'ath_pci' devices; both
modules need to be loaded for the ath device to work.
in the RX path when doing 11n and block-ack'ed frames. Apparently, the MAC
will loop over that self-linked descriptor and treat it as "good enough"
for (incorrectly!) ACKing the frames in the block-ack.
Until I figure out how to work around this issue in the future, this counter
will tell me if packet RX processing ever gets to the point where it's
touching the self-linked descriptor. If there's ever enough packets to get
to that point, BA's will be invalid and likely very unhappy.
of active DMA cycle. dc_setcfg() also has to wait until the DMA
engine is stopped so using a common function to handle the job is
better than duplicating the code.

makes controller to receive bad frames and i82557 will also receive
bad frames since fxp(4) have to receive VLAN oversized frames. If
fxp(4) encounter DMA overrun error, the received frame size would
be 0 so the actual frame size after checksum field extraction the
length would be negative(-2). Due to signed/unsigned comparison
used in driver, frame length check did not work for DMA overrun
frames. Correct this by casting it to int.
While I'm here explicitly check DMA overrun error and discard the
frame regardless of result of received frame length check.
