queues (which we call slices). The NIC will steer traffic into up to
hw.mxge.max_slices different receive rings based on a configurable
hash type (hw.mxge.rss_hash_type).
Currently the driver defaults to using a single slice, so the default
behavior is unchanged. Also, transmit from non-zero slices is
disabled currently.
- Add custom .c wrappers for the firmware, rather than the standard
firmware(9) generated firmware objects to work around toolchain
problems on ia64 involving linking objects produced by
ld -b -binary into the kernel.
- Move from using Myricom's ".dat" firmware blobs to using Myricom's
zlib compressed ".h" firmware header files. This is done to
facilitate the custom wrappers, and saves a fair amount of wired
memory in the case where the firmware is built in, or preloaded.
- Fix two compile issues in mxge which only appear on non-i386/amd64.

lines were joined because of the regained columns.
- Hook the mxge driver back to the build.
More info regarding these nics can be found at http://www.myri.com.
Please note that the files
sys/dev/myri10ge/{mcp_gen_header.h,myri10ge_mcp.h} are internally
shared between all our drivers (solaris, macosx, windows, linux, etc).
I'd like to keep these files unchanged, so I can just import newer
versions of them when the firmware API/ABI changes. This means I'm
stuck with some of the crazy-long #define names, and possibly
non-style(9) characteristics of these files.
Many thanks to mlaier for doing firmware(9) just as I
needed it, and to scottl for his helpful review.
