destination. Starting offsets and total transfer size are specified.
The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations. For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used. The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.
Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to
the tree, ensures that the use of the function is only allowed after
explicit enablement.
For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added
instead, to allow the kernel linking.

When working on TDMA, Sam Leffler found that the MAC DMA hardware
would re-read the last TX descriptor when getting ready to transmit
the next one. Thus the whole ATH_BUF_BUSY came into existance -
the descriptor must be left alone (very specifically the link pointer
must be maintained) until the hardware has moved onto the next frame.
He saw this in TDMA because the MAC would be frequently stopping during
active transmit (ie, when it wasn't its turn to transmit.)
Fast-forward to today. It turns out that this is a problem not with
a single MAC DMA instance, but with each QCU (from 0->9). They each
maintain separate descriptor pointers and will re-read the last
descriptor when starting to transmit the next.
So when your AP is busy transmitting from multiple TX queues, you'll
(more) frequently see one QCU stopped, waiting for a higher-priority QCU
to finsh transmitting, before it'll go ahead and continue. If you mess
up the descriptor (ie by freeing it) then you're short of luck.
Thanks to rpaulo for sticking with me whilst I diagnosed this issue
that he was quite reliably triggering in his environment.
This is a reimplementation; it doesn't have anything in common with
the ath9k or the Qualcomm Atheros reference driver.
Now - it in theory doesn't apply on the EDMA chips, as long as you
push one complete frame into the FIFO at a time. But the MAC can DMA
from a list of frames pushed into the hardware queue (ie, you concat
'n' frames together with link pointers, and then push the head pointer
into the TXQ FIFO.) Since that's likely how I'm going to implement
CABQ handling in hostap mode, it's likely that I will end up teaching
the EDMA TX completion code about busy buffers, just to be "sure"
this doesn't creep up.
Tested - iperf ap->sta and sta->ap (with both sides running this code):
* AR5416 STA
* AR9160/AR9220 hostap
To validate that it doesn't break the EDMA (FIFO) chips:
* AR9380, AR9485, AR9462 STA
Using iperf with the -S <tos byte decimal value> to set the TCP client
side DSCP bits, mapping to different TIDs and thus different TX queues.
TODO:
* Make this work on the EDMA chips, if we end up pushing lists of frames
to the hardware (eg how we eventually will handle cabq in hostap/ibss
mode.)
the first page:
1. Cast uint16_t operands in a multiplication to unsigned int because
otherwise the implicit promotion to int results in a signed
multiplication that can overflow and the behaviour on integer
overflow is undefined.
2. Replace (offset + size > PAGE_SIZE) with (size > PAGE_SIZE - offset)
because the sum may overflow.
- Use the same tests to see if the path to the interpreter is on the first
page. There's no overflow here because size is already limited by
MAXPATHLEN, but the compiler optimises the new tests better. Also fix an
off-by-one error.
- Simplify tests to see if an ELF note program header is on the first page.
This also fixes an off-by-one error.

Fix the IPMI regression by sending BGE_FW_DRV_STATE_UNLOAD to
ASF/IPMI firmware in driver attach phase. Sending heartheat to
ASF/IPMI is enabled only after upping interface so
setting driver state to BGE_FW_DRV_STATE_START in attach phase
broke IPMI access.
While I'm here, add NVRAM arbitration lock before performing
controller reset. ASF/IPMI firmware may be able to access the NVRAM
while controller reset is in progress. Without the arbitration
lock before resetting the controller, ASF/IPMI may not initialize
properly.
