the ar9130 code.
Since at least one kernel config specifies individual ath HAL chips
rather than just "device ath_hal" (arm/AVILA), I'm doing this so people
aren't caught out when they update to -HEAD or 9.0 and discover their
ath setup doesn't compile.
I'll revisit this with a proper fix sometime before 9.0-RELEASE.

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.
A follow-up commit is needed to convert the AR5416 ANI code
to use this particular method, as it's currently using the
AR5212 methods directly.

the ADC calibrations if the NIC is in 5ghz 11a or 5ghz HT/20 modes.
I've been told that the dual-ADC is only engaged in turbo/40mhz modes.
Since Sowl (AR9160) seems to return valid-looking calibration data
in 5ghz 20MHz modes, I'm only disabling it for Merlin for now.
It may turn out I can disable it for all chipsets and only enable
it for 40MHz modes.

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.

Slot field of the PxCMD register may point to an empty command slot.
That breaks command timeout detection logic, making impossible to find
what command actually caused timeout, and leading to infinite wait.
Workaround that by checking whether pointed command slot is really used
and can timeout in its time. And if not, fallback to the dumb algorithm
used with FBS -- let all commands to time out and then fail all of them.

Back in 2009 I changed the ABI of the GIO_KEYMAP and PIO_KEYMAP ioctls

for the old calls, but I didn't get any feedback to that.
It seems now people are upgrading from 8 to 9 they experience this
issue, so add it anyway.
resource allocation on x86 platforms:
- Add a new helper API that Host-PCI bridge drivers can use to restrict
resource allocation requests to a set of address ranges for different
resource types.
- For the ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver, use Producer address range resources
in _CRS to enumerate valid address ranges for a given Host-PCI bridge.
This can be disabled by including "hostres" in the debug.acpi.disabled
tunable.
- For the MPTable Host-PCI bridge driver, use entries in the extended
MPTable to determine the valid address ranges for a given Host-PCI
bridge. This required adding code to parse extended table entries.
Similar to the new PCI-PCI bridge driver, these changes are only enabled
if the NEW_PCIB kernel option is enabled (which is enabled by default on
amd64 and i386).
