if_watchdog and if_timer. The driver already contained an optional stats
timer that individual attachments could use to provide a 'tick' event. The
stats timer only ran if the tick function pointer was non-NULL and the
attachment's tick routine had to call callout_reset(), etc. Now the driver
always schedules a stat timer and manages the callout_reset() internally.
This timer is used to drive the watchdog and will also call the attachment's
'tick' handler if one is provided.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

DP8390-based cards have no generic way of reporting status of the link
or setting the media type. Some specific versions of these cards do,
however, allow for this, and we already support some of them. Make
the 'ed' experience more uniform by providing "autoselect" as the
meida and status "active" always. This won't affect the chips that
provide more specific details.
o Introduce new chip_type AX88790. There's a few places we need to know the
exact chip for workaronds.
o Explain the AX88190 workaround for the ISR bits being stuck, and don't
apply them to the AX88790. The datasheet says the bits are fixed, and
experience confirms.
o Fix mii bit-bang read code to read and discard the 'floating' bit.
o Remove empty ed_pccard_ax88x90_mii_reset routine
o Report error from mii_phy_probe
o Don't use ed_probe_Novel_generic for ax88x90 chips. It puts them into
an odd state sometimes. Instead, use a more stream-lined version that
avoids the trouble spots. This was copied and tweaked from the original.
o Move chip reset into its own routine.
o Minor code optimiation on getting MAC address
o Add code for coping with AX88790 cards that are in power down state and
need to be kicked before the PHY registers for the internal phy read right.
o Remove ugly cap of PHYs at 17.
o For AX88790, we need to set a special bit for accessig phy 16 (the internal
phy) and clear it for all others according to a chip erratum.
o streamline the bit-bang code for AX88x90: the delays aren't needed according
to the datasheet timing diagrams and also the Linux driver
o Fix minor bit definition for direction bit.

ed_detach() to properly undo the effects of prior calls to

underlying memory... Fix the ed_detach routine to cope being called

This should never come up because the miibus is always there. Except

Also call the mediachg function when we set flags UP and are already
running. If this were a pure ifmedia driver, we'd not need to do this
since we'd be ignoring the linkX flags.
This reduces the number of ifdefs to support sub-devices a little as a
nice side effect. It also reduces the number of hpp interfaces
exposed by 33%.

Add a note about why we set this flag prior to attaching the device.
We never set or clear the flag later, only test it. There can be no
races here, but this might be asthetically displeasing to some. Also
note that we may no longer need to have this knob at all as we may be
able to do it with the more sophisticated rc.d scripts we have today I
think the only reason it is there is because we didn't used to allow
its proper setting when configured to get the IP address via DHCP.
I'll note that this would be better handled by using ifmedia for all
ed cards, not just those with a miibus...

could get an interrupt after we free the ifp, and the interrupt
handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory,
cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to
after the bus_teardown_intr() call.
o eliminate the ED_NO_MIIBUS option. Now, you need miibus to use ed with
pccard. If you have an old ISA or PCI card w/o a miibus, then you'll still
be able to use the ed driver w/o miibus in the kernel. If you have pccard
you'll need mii now. Most pccards these days have miibus, and many
cards have ISSUES if you don't attach miibus. issues I don't want to
constantly rediagnose.
- Add new media_ioctl, mediachg and tick function pointers. The core
driver will call these if they aren't NULL, or return an error if they
are.
- migrate remaining mii code into if_ed_pccard.
o include some notes from my datasheet fishing. this may allow us to
get media status from some pccards.
o Fix one bug that's common to many drivers. call if_free(ifp) after
we tear down the interrupt. ed_intr() depends on ifp being there and
freeing it while interrupts can still happen is, ummm, bad.
o Attach AX88x90's MII bus to system, and require its presence.
o Reorg the mii code a little, and move more of it into pccard attachment.
o Eliminate ed_pccard_{read,write}_attrmem in favor of a more appropriate
function in the pccard layer.
o Update comments to reflect knowledge gained.
o Update how re recognize a NE-2000 ROM. I found a couple of different
datasheets that define the structure of the PROM data, so the code's
old heuristics have been removed, and comments updated to reflect the
structure.
o Eliminate work around for EC2T. It is no longer needed, and was wrong
headed since the EC2T has a Winbound 82C926C in it, not a AX88x90.
o Add copyright to if_ed_pccard.c, since I believe I've re-written more than
3/4 of it.
# With these changes, all of my 20-odd ed based cards work, except for the
# NetGear FA-410, and I'm pretty sure that's a MII/PHY problem.
o Lock ed
o Fix extra newline in probe messages
o Eliminate gone.
o Make detach less-racy.
o Eliminate spl*
o Switch from timeout/untimeout to callout interface.
o Read/write card memory using bus_space calls.
o generalize readmem so that we don't need ifs in the code.
o Fix memory stuff to be consistant.
o Remove OLDCARD compat stuff.
o Mark interrupt as MPSAFE.

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Add goo for alpha too.
The affected cards are the 3Com 3C503, HP LAN+ and SIC (whatever that

code for some probing operations (where the function call overhead is
lost in the noise).
Remove use of kvtop, since they aren't required anymore. This driver
