To account for this, I added the necessary ID values for the Broadcom

This fixes, at least, panics in ncr_attach() on i386's with about 5MB

DMA, but on i386's we now allocate pages from the top down, so all the
restriction did was cause our allocations to fail when there is no free
memory above 1MB.
some swapper problems analogous to those experienced with ccd.
This fix is a kludge: since we currently don't track the "sector size"
in a volume label, we guess a worst case (4 kB, as used by vnode
devices). If the concept of sector size is here to stay, I'll make
some changes to track the "sector size" of a volume. This will
probably be the maximum of the sector sizes of all component drives,
but things could get ugly if we start allowing non-standard sector
sizes such as 524 bytes.

MII-compliant PHY drivers. Many 10/100 ethernet NICs available today
either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can
be programmed using an MII interface. It makes sense then to separate
this support out into common code instead of duplicating it in all
of the NIC drivers. The mii code also handles all of the media
detection, selection and reporting via the ifmedia interface.
This is basically the same code from NetBSD's /sys/dev/mii, except
it's been adapted to FreeBSD's bus architecture. The advantage to this
is that it automatically allows everything to be turned into a
loadable module. There are some common functions for use in drivers
once an miibus has been attached (mii_mediachg(), mii_pollstat(),
mii_tick()) as well as individual PHY drivers. There is also a
generic driver for all PHYs that aren't handled by a specific driver.
It's possible to do this because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same
general register set in addition to their vendor-specific register
sets, so for the most part you can use one driver for pretty much
any PHY. There are a couple of oddball exceptions though, hence
the need to have specific drivers.
There are two layers: the generic "miibus" layer and the PHY driver
layer. The drivers are child devices of "miibus" and the "miibus" is
a child of a given NIC driver. The "miibus" code and the PHY drivers
can actually be compiled and kldoaded as completely separate modules
or compiled together into one module. For the moment I'm using the
latter approach since the code is relatively small.
Currently there are only three PHY drivers here: the generic driver,
the built-in 3Com XL driver and the NS DP83840 driver. I'll be adding
others later as I convert various NIC drivers to use this code.
I realize that I'm cvs adding this stuff instead of importing it
onto a separate vendor branch, but in my opinion the import approach
doesn't really offer any significant advantage: I'm going to be
maintaining this stuff and writing my own PHY drivers one way or
the other.

to achieve a delay is pretty mean.
Andrew reports:
"The tulip_delay_300ns() is, well, bloody stupid on machines with a
heavily loaded PCI bus. It tries to do a delay by assuming PCI reads
will take a certain amount of time & issues a large amount of
(expensive, 5% CPU when your PCI bus is heavily loaded) pci reads.
Locally, we've replaced the calls to tulip_delay_300ns(sc) in the EMIT
macros with a simple DELAY(1) and not seen any problems. Plus we've
gained about 50Mb/sec throughput on our gigabit network cards because
of the added PCI bus bandwidth available."
Also, I do not understand why, but this change appears to stop the
Transmit Fifo underrun on one of my systems (but not the Alpha PC164SX).
This shouldn't make that much of a difference since the mii bus isn't
touched all that often, but perhaps when it does get accessed and hence
hammers the register, it was causing the chip to get upset.

a PCI memory mapped region, rman_get_bushandle() returns what happens
to be a kernel virtual address pointing to the base of the PCI shared
memory window. However this is not the behavior on all platforms:
the only thing you should do with the bushandle is pass it to the
bus_spare_read()/bus_space_write() routines. If you actually do want
the kernel virtual address of the base of the PCI memory window, you
need to use rman_get_virtual().
The problem is that at the moment, rman_get_virtual() returns a physical
address, which is bad. In order to get the kernel virtual address we
need, we have to play with it a little.
Presumeably this behavior will be changed, but in the meantime the
Tigon driver won't work. So for the moment, I'm adding a kludge to
make things happy on the alpha: the correct kernel virtual address
is calculated from the value returned by rman_get_virtual(). This
should be removed once rman_get_virtual() starts doing the right
thing.
This should make the Tigon actuall work on the alpha now.

There are single port, dual port and quad port cards, plus one 100baseFX

The Starfire would be a very nice chip were it not for the fact that
receive buffers have to be longword aligned. This requires buffer
copying in order to achieve proper payload alignment on the alpha.
Payload alignment is enforced on both the alpha and x86 platforms.
The Starfire has several different DMA descriptor formats and transfer
mechanisms. This driver uses frame descriptors for transmission which
can address up to 14 packet fragments, and a single fragment descriptor
for receive. It also uses the producer/consumer model and completion
queues for both transmit and receive. The transmit ring has 128
descriptors and the receive ring has 256.
This driver supports both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/alpha, and uses newbus
so that it can be compiled as a loadable kernel module. Support for BPF
and hardware multicast filtering is included.
critical mbuf fields to sane values. Simplify the use of ETHER_ALIGN to
enforce payload alignment, and turn it on on the x86 as well as alpha
since it helps with NFS which wants the payload to be longword aligned

This fixes a problem with the ti driver causing an unaligned access trap
on the Alpha due to m_adj() sometimes not setting the alignment correctly
because of incomplete mbuf initialization.

The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,

specinfo means that the v_specnext moves into the vnode
which grows by 4 bytes.

gigabit ethernet adapters. This includes two single port cards
(single mode and multimode fiber) and two dual port cards (also single
mode and multimode fiber). SysKonnect is currently the only
vendor with a dual port gigabit ethernet NIC.
The ports on dual port adapters are treated as separate network
interfaces. Thus, if you have an SK-9844 dual port SX card, you
should have both sk0 and sk1 interfaces attached. Dual port cards
are implemented using two XMAC II chips connected to a single
SysKonnect GEnesis controller. Hence, dual port cards are really
one PCI device, as opposed to two separate PCI devices connected
through a PCI to PCI bridge. Note that SysKonnect's drivers use
the two ports for failover purposes rather that as two separate
interfaces, plus they don't support jumbo frames. This applies to
their Linux driver too. :)
Support is provided for hardware multicast filtering, BPF and
jumbo frames. The SysKonnect cards support TCP checksum offload
however this feature is not currently enabled (hopefully it will
be once we get checksum offload support).
There are still a few things that need to be implemeted, like
the ability to communicate with the on-board LM80 voltage/temperature
monitor, but I wanted to get the driver under CVS control and into
