- Add debug output for shared memory access.
- Add debug statistics (checksum offload & VLAN frame counters).
- Modify TX path to update consumer index for each frame completed
rather than updating the consumer index only once for a group of
frames to improve small packet performance.
- Print driver/firmware pulse messages only when verbose boot
is enabled.
- Add debug sysctl to clear statistics.
- Fix more style(9) violations.

- Added some new debug helper routines to systcl.

parsing code in TSO path as the controller requires VLAN hardware
tagging to make TSO work over VLANs.
While parsing the mbuf in TSO patch, always perform check for
writable mbuf as bce(4) have to reset IP length and IP checksum
field of IP header and make sure to ensure contiguous buffer before
accessing IP/TCP headers. While I'm here replace magic number 40 to
more readable sizeof(struct ip) + sizeof(struct tcphdr).

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

- In bce_rx_intr(), use BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD instead of
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE, as we want to "read" from the
rx page chain pages.
- Document why we need to do PREWRITE after we have updated
the rx page chain pages.
- In bce_intr(), use BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD and
BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD when before and after CPU "reading"
the status block.
- Adjust some nearby style mismatches/etc.

aligned on an 8 byte boundary. Prior to rev 1.36 this wasn't a problem
because mbuf clusters tend be naturally aligned. The switch to using
split buffers with the first buffer being the embedded data area of the
mbuf has broken this assumption, at least on i386, causing a complete
failure of RX functionality. Fix this for now by using a full cluster for
the first RX buffer. A more sophisticated approach could be done with the
old buffer scheme to realign the m_data pointer with m_adj(), but I'm also
not clear on performance benefits of this old scheme or the performance
implications of adding an m_adj() call to every allocation.

Added ID for BCM5708 B2.
Removed unused driver version string.
Modified BCE_PRINTF macro to automatically fill-in the sc pointer.
Fixed a kernel panic when the driver was loaded as a module from the
command-line because the MII bus pointer was null (i.e. the MII bus
hadn't been enumerated yet).
Added fix proposed by Vladimir Ivanov <wawa@yandex-team.ru> to prevent
driver state corruption when releasing the lock during the ISR in
bce_rx_intr() to send packets up the stack.
Added new TX chain and register read sysctl interfaces for debugging.
Cleaned up formatting for various other debug routines.
Added a new statistic maintained by firmware which tracks the number
of received packets dropped because no receive buffers are available.
If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the
layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any
bpf(4) peers can properly decode them.
