for intervals less then 5000 ticks (~300us) reported to be unreliable by

Introduce additional safety interval of 128 counter ticks (~9us) between
programmed comparator and counter values to cover different cases of
delayed write found on some chipsets.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they

and the Atheros reference code.
The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is.
Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted
from the HAL regulatory domain information.
The specifics:
* add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which
updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes.
* add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain .
* add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured
HAL DFS domain.
* add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently
configured HAL DFS domain setting.
* update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is
updated.
Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all
be no-ops for existing users.

Before 802.11n, the RX descriptor list would employ the "self-linked tail
descriptor" trick which linked the last descriptor back to itself.
This way, the RX engine would never hit the "end" of the list and stop
processing RX (and assert RXEOL) as it never hit a descriptor whose next
pointer was 0. It would just keep overwriting the last descriptor until
the software freed up some more RX descriptors and chained them onto the
end.
For 802.11n, this needs to stop as a self-linked RX descriptor tickles the
block-ack logic into ACK'ing whatever frames are received into that
self-linked descriptor - so in very busy periods, you could end up with
A-MPDU traffic that is ACKed but never received by the 802.11 stack.
This would cause some confusion as the ADDBA windows would suddenly
be out of sync.
So when that occured here, the last descriptor would be hit and the PCU
logic would stop. It would only start again when the RX descriptor list
was updated and the PCU RX engine was re-tickled. That wasn't being done,
so RXEOL would be continuously asserted and no RX would continue.
This patch introduces a new flag - sc->sc_kickpcu - which when set,
signals the RX task to kick the PCU after its processed whatever packets
it can. This way completed packets aren't discarded.
In case some other task gets called which resets the hardware, don't
update sc->sc_imask - instead, just update the hardware interrupt mask
directly and let either ath_rx_proc() or ath_reset() restore the imask
to its former setting.
Note: this bug was only triggered when doing a whole lot of frame snooping
with serial console IO in the RX task. This would defer interrupt processing
enough to cause an RX descriptor overflow. It doesn't happen in normal
conditions.

interrupt storm.
This is easily triggered by flipping on and off tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO
w/ witness enabled. This causes a whole lot of console IO and when you're
attached to a serial console (eg on my AR7161 embedded board), the RX
interrupt doesn't get called quickly enough and the RX queue fills up.
This wasn't a problem in the past because of the self-linked RX descriptor
trick - the RX would never hit the "end" of the RX descriptor list.
However this isn't possible for 802.11n (see previous commit history for
why.)
Both Linux ath9k and the Atheros reference driver code do this; I'm just
looking now for where they then restart the PCU receive. Right now the RX
will just stop until the interface is reset.

The AR9280 apparently has an issue with descriptors which straddle a page
boundary (4k). I'm not yet sure whether I should use PAGE_SIZE in the
calculations or whether I should use 4096; the reference code uses 4096.
This patch fiddles with descriptor allocation so a descriptor entry
doesn't straddle a 4kb address boundary. The descriptor memory allocation
is made larger to contain extra descriptors and then the descriptor
address is advanced to the next 4kb boundary where needed.
I've tested this both on Merlin (AR9280) and non-Merlin (in this case,
AR9160.)

This seems to indicate whether to program the NIC for fractional 5ghz
mode (ie, 5mhz spaced channels, rather than 10 or 20mhz spacing) or not.
The default (0) seems to mean "only program fractional mode if needed".
A different value (eg 1) seems to always enable fractional 5ghz mode
regardless of the frequency.

Calibration/PCI data that's written to flash (rather than EEPROM attached
to the NIC) is typically already in host-endian. The existing checks
end up swapping 16 bit words incorrectly - the correct solution would be
to read the magic value and determine the EEPROM endianness from that.
(This is what Linux does.)
This doesn't completely enable embedded use of the AR9285/AR9287 -
notably, the EEPROM read methods need to be made generic and available
to all EEPROM drivers. I'll worry about that later.

* Teach the AR5212/AR5416 ANI code to use the RX filter methods, rather
than calling the RX filter routines directly.
* Make HAL_ANI_PRESENT and HAL_ANI_MODE unconditionally available,
regardless of whether ah_ani_function is masking it.
* (Mostly) fully disable ANI if interference mitigation is disabled.
When disabled, the ANI code doesn't touch any ANI/PHY registers,
leaving them the default value. This is in line with what the
Atheros reference driver does.
* Correctly set the ANI parameters during ANI reset, rather than
when ANI is enabled. In this way, if ANI is disabled or enabled
whilst the NIC is not active (and there's no current channel),
bogus parameters or a NULL pointer deference doesn't occur.
There's still some lingering issues - notably, the MIB events/interrupts
aren't fully disabled, so MIB interrupts still occur. I'll worry about
that later.

This in particular fixes radar PHY handling - on the AR5212
NIC, one enables the AR_PHY_ERR_RADAR bit in AR_PHY_ERR;
the AR5416 and later also needs a bit set in AR_RX_FILTER.

to use this particular method, as it's currently using the

It may turn out I can disable it for all chipsets and only enable

Although this may not be what the original sysctl was designed to do,
it feels a bit more "expected".
Before, if ANI is disabled, the initial ANI parameters are still written
to the hardware, even if they're not enabled. "ANI enabled" would then
adjust the noise immunity parameters dynamically. Disabling ANI would
simply leave the existing noise immunity parameters where they are,
and disable the dynamic part.
The problem is that disabling ANI doesn't leave the hardware in
a consistent, predictable state - so asking a user to disable ANI
wouldn't actually reset the NIC to a consistent set of PHY signal
detection parameters, resulting in an unpredictable/unreliable outcome.
This makes it difficult to get reliable debugging information from
the user.

That breaks command timeout detection logic, making impossible to find

Workaround that by checking whether pointed command slot is really used

used with FBS -- let all commands to time out and then fail all of them.
