requiried to keep consistent softc state before/after callback function
invocation and supposed to be sligntly faster than previous one as it
wouldn't incur callback overhead. With this change callback function
was gone.
- Decrease TI_MAXTXSEGS to 32 from 128. It seems that most mbuf chain
length is less than 32 and it would be re-packed with m_defrag(9) if
its chain length is larger than TI_MAXTXSEGS. This would protect ti(4)
against possible kernel stack overflow when txsegs[] is put on stack.
Alternatively, we can embed the txsegs[] into softc. However, that
would waste memory and make Tx/Rx speration hard when we want to
sperate Tx/Rx handlers to optimize locking.
- Fix dma map tracking used in Tx path. Previously it used the dma map
of the last mbuf chain in ti_txeof() which was incorrect as ti(4)
used dma map of the first mbuf chain when it loads a mbuf chain with
bus_dmamap_load_mbuf(9). Correct the bug by introducing queues that
keep track of active/inactive dma maps/mbuf chain.
- Use ti_txcnt to check whether driver need to set watchdog timer instead
of blidnly clearing the timer in ti_txeof().
- Remove the 3rd arg. of ti_encap(). Since ti(4) now caches the last
descriptor index(ti_tx_saved_prodidx) used in Tx there is no need to
pass it as a fuction arg.
- Change data type of producer/consumer index to int from u_int16_t in
order to remove implicit type conversions in Tx/Rx handlers.
- Check interface queue before getting a mbuf chain to reduce locking
overhead.
- Check number of available Tx descriptores to be 16 or higher in
ti_start(). This wouldn't protect Tx descriptor shortage but it would
reduce number of bus_dmamap_unload(9) calls in ti_encap() when we are
about to running out of Tx descriptors.
- Command NIC to send packets ony when the driver really has packets
enqueued. Previously it always set TI_MB_SENDPROD_IDX which would
command NIC to DMA Tx descriptors into NIC local memory regardless
of Tx descriptor changes.

to use busdma. Unlike most of the other drivers, but similar to the
if_em driver, pre-allocate the dmamaps at init time instead of allocating
them on the fly when descriptors need to be filled. This isn't ideal right
now because a map is allocated for every descriptor slot in the tx, rx, mini,
and jumbo rings (which is a lot!) in order to simplify the bookkeeping, even
though the driver might support filling only a subset of those slots.
Luckily, maps are typically NULL on i386 and amd64, so the cost isn't
very high. It could be an issue with sparc64, but the driver isn't endian
clean either, and that is a much bigger problem to solve first.
Note that jumbo frame support is under-tested, and I'm not even sure if
it till really works correctly given the evil VM magic that is does.
The changes here attempt to preserve the existing semanitcs.

through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.
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.

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.

Note: Zero-copy receive of jumbo frames did not work without these changes;

- Unconditionally call *_stop() if device is in the tree. This is to
prevent callouts from happening after the device is gone. Checks for
bus_child_present() should be added in the future to keep from touching
potentially non-existent hardware in *_detach(). Found by iedowse@.
- Always check for and free miibus children, even if the device is not in
the tree since some failure cases could have gotten here.
- Call ether_ifdetach() in the irq setup failure case
- ti(4), xl(4): move ifmedia_init() calls to the beginning of attach so
that ifmedia_removeall() can be unconditionally called on detach. There
is no way to detect whether ifmedia has been initialized without using
a separate variable (as tl(4) does).
- Add comments to indicate assumptions of code path
network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
