With this change, driver may not notice updated descriptor status
change when bounce buffers are active. However, rxeof() in next run
will handle the synchronization.
Change dc_rxeof() a bit to return the number of processed frames in
RX descriptor ring. Previously it returned the number of frames
that were successfully passed to upper stack which in turn means it
ignored frames that were discarded due to errors. The number of
processed frames in RX descriptor ring is used to detect whether
driver is out of sync with controller's current descriptor pointer.
Returning number of processed frames reduces unnecessary (probably
wrong) re-synchronization.

Unfortunately, it pulls in <machine/cputypes.h> but it is small enough and
namespace pollution is minimal, I hope.

The "FTS_NOSTAT" option can avoid a lot of calls to stat(2) if it knows that a
directory could not possibly have subdirectories. This is decided by looking at
the link count: a subdirectory would increment its parent's link count by
virtue of its own ".." entry. This assumption only holds for UFS-like
filesystems that implement links and directories this way, so we must punt for
others.
It looks like ZFS is a UFS-like file system, as the above also holds for ZFS.
Add ZFS to the list of file systems that allow for such optimization.

Add support for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM) to the loader.
PBVM allows us to link the kernel at a fixed virtual address without
having to make any assumptions about the physical memory layout. On
the SGI Altix 350 for example, there's no usuable physical memory
below 192GB. Also, the PBVM allows us to control better where we're
going to physically load the kernel and its modules so that we can
make sure we load the kernel in memory that's close to the BSP.
The PBVM is managed by a simple page table. The minimum size of the
page table is 4KB (EFI page size) and the maximum is currently set
to 1MB. A page in the PBVM is 64KB, as that's the maximum alignment
one can specify in a linker script. The bottom line is that PBVM is
between 64KB and 8GB in size.
The loader maps the PBVM page table at a fixed virtual address and
using a single translations. The PBVM itself is also mapped using a
single translation for a maximum of 32MB.
While here, increase the heap in the EFI loader from 512KB to 2MB
and set the stage for supporting relocatable modules.

The compiler will truncate the 32-bit return value of mv_gpio_value_get()
to match the 8-bit return value of mv_gpio_in(). A conditional expression
is used to have mv_gpio_in() always return 0 or 1 instead.
Calling rfork_thread(3) does not interoperate with pthreads and global state
is not properly protected.
Remove the BUGS section suggesting LinuxThreads entirely. With the current
pthread library libthr, all threads are kernel-level entities so there seems
little reason to use LinuxThreads.
soon as possible for stack protector. However, dummy timecounter does not
have enough entropy and we don't need to sacrifice Pentium class and later.

The compiler seems to assume it's a 32-bit integral and rounding to the
page size using the standard expression (((u_long)(x) + mask) & ~mask),
results in a 32-bit value. Dropping the 'U' suffix is enough to have the
compiler treat the expression as a 64-bit integral.

o Put the IVT in its own section and keep the supporting code close.
o Make sure the VHPT is sized so that it can be mapped using a single
translation.
o Map the PAL code and VHPT with a translation that has the right size.
Assume the platform has a PAL code size that can be mapped with a
single translations.
o Pass the pointer to the bootinfo structure as an argument to ia64_init().
o Get rid of LOG2_ID_PAGE_SIZE and IA64_ID_PAGE_SIZE. It was used to map
the regions 6 & 7 and was as large as possible. The problem is that we
can't support memory attributes easily if the granuratity is not a page.
We need to support memory attributes because the new USB stack violates
the BUS_DMA(9) interface.
o Update some comments...
NOTE: this is broken for SMP kernels, because the AP startup code hasn't
been updated yet.
can be put right at the front when put in its own section. This makes
sure that when the loader can only map a relatively small part of the
PBVM, the IVT and the startup code is wired.
This does a few things in particular:
* Abstracts out the gain control settings into a separate function;
* Configure antenna diversity, LNA and antenna gain parameters;
* Configure ob/db entries - the later v4k EEPROM modal revisions have
multiple OB/DB parameters which are used for some form of
calibration. Although the radio does have defaults for each,
the EEPROM can override them.
This resolves the AR2427 related issues I've been seeing and makes
it stable at all 11g rates for both TX and RX.
sizes are not supported.
o Map the PBVM page table.
o Map the PBVM using the largest possible power of 2 that is less than
the amount of PBVM used and round down to a valid page size. Note
that the current kernel is between 8MB and 16MB in size, which would
mean that 8MB would be the typical size of the mapping, if only 8MB
wasn't an invalid page size. In practice, we end up mapping the first
4MB of PBVM in most cases.
