These controllers use newer descriptor format and the new descriptor
format uses status LE to indicate the status of checksum. Rx
checksummed value used in previous controllers were very cryptic
and I failed to understand how to use them. In addition most
controllers in previous generations had Rx checksum offloading bug.
While I'm here introduce a MSK_FLAG_NORX_CSUM flag to bypass
checking Rx checksum offloading as Yukon FE+ A0 has status LE bug.
this feature hardware automatically computes TCP/UDP payload
offset. Introduce MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM to mark the capability.
Yukon Extreme B0 revision is known to have a silicon for the
feature so disable it. Yukon Extreme B0 still can do Tx checksum
offloading but CPU have to compute TCP/UDP payload offset. To
enable traditional checksum offloading, disable automatic Tx
checksum calculation capability.
Yukon Extreme A0 revision could not use store-and-forward mode for
jumbo frames(silicon bug) so disable Tx checksum offloading for
jumbo frames.
I believe controllers that have MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM capability or
new descriptor format do not have Tx checksum offload bug so
disable checksum offloading workaround for for short frames.

Yukon Extreme uses new descriptor format for TSO and has Tx frame
parser which greatly reduces CPU cycles spent in computing TCP/UDP
payload offset calculation in Tx checksum offloading path. The new
descriptor format also removed TCP/UDP payload computation for TSO
which in turn results in better TSO performance. It seems Yukon
Extreme has a lot of new (unknown) features but only basic
offloading is supported at this time. So far there are two known
issues.
o Sometimes Rx overrun errors happen when pulling data over
gigabit link. Running over 100Mbps seem to ok.
o Ethernet hardware address shows all-zeroed value on 88E8070.
Assigning ethernet address with ifconfig is necessary to make it
work.
Support for Yukon Extreme is not perfect but it would be better
than having a non-working device. Special thanks to jbh who fixed
several bugs of initial patch.

device drivers to use arbitrary VM objects to satisfy individual mmap()
requests.
- A new d_mmap_single(cdev, &foff, objsize, &object, prot) callback is
added to cdevsw. This function is called for each mmap() request.
If it returns ENODEV, then the mmap() request will fall back to using
the device's device pager object and d_mmap(). Otherwise, the method
can return a VM object to satisfy this entire mmap() request via
*object. It can also modify the starting offset into this object via
*foff. This allows device drivers to use the file offset as a cookie
to identify specific VM objects.
- vm_mmap_vnode() has been changed to call vm_mmap_cdev() directly when
mapping V_CHR vnodes. This avoids duplicating all the cdev mmap
handling code and simplifies some of vm_mmap_vnode().
- D_VERSION has been bumped to D_VERSION_02. Older device drivers
using D_VERSION_01 are still supported.

- Each socket upcall is now invoked with the appropriate socket buffer
locked. It is not permissible to call soisconnected() with this lock
held; however, so socket upcalls now return an integer value. The two
possible values are SU_OK and SU_ISCONNECTED. If an upcall returns
SU_ISCONNECTED, then the soisconnected() will be invoked on the
socket after the socket buffer lock is dropped.
- A new API is provided for setting and clearing socket upcalls. The
API consists of soupcall_set() and soupcall_clear().
- To simplify locking, each socket buffer now has a separate upcall.
- When a socket upcall returns SU_ISCONNECTED, the upcall is cleared from
the receive socket buffer automatically. Note that a SO_SND upcall
should never return SU_ISCONNECTED.
- All this means that accept filters should now return SU_ISCONNECTED
instead of calling soisconnected() directly. They also no longer need
to explicitly clear the upcall on the new socket.
- The HTTP accept filter still uses soupcall_set() to manage its internal
state machine, but other accept filters no longer have any explicit
knowlege of socket upcall internals aside from their return value.
- The various RPC client upcalls currently drop the socket buffer lock
while invoking soreceive() as a temporary band-aid. The plan for
the future is to add a new flag to allow soreceive() to be called with
the socket buffer locked.
- The AIO callback for socket I/O is now also invoked with the socket
buffer locked. Previously sowakeup() would drop the socket buffer
lock only to call aio_swake() which immediately re-acquired the socket
buffer lock for the duration of the function call.

Each list describes a logical memory object that is backed by one or more
physical address ranges. To minimize locking, the sglist objects
themselves are immutable once they are shared.
These objects may be used in the future to facilitate I/O requests using
physically-addressed buffers. For the immediate future I plan to use them
to implement a new type of VM object and pager.

We will look at renaming stuff for 9.0, but it's far from certain that we
will do it this way.
- Sort sysctl's alphabetically. I'll add a bunch of new sysctl's once
ariff's next mega-patch goes in, and having everything sorted makes my
job easier.
