- Avoid an additional lock acquire/release when leaving xl_intr(), by
changing xl_start*() to xl_start*_locked(), and calling the appropriate
routine by chip revision (as the DMA descriptors are different).
- Simplify the appropriate routines now that they are called with the
lock held.
This should save a significant amount of CPU cycles spent on servicing
each interrupt for both UP and SMP whilst remaining MPSAFE.

- Eliminate the use of a recursive mutex.
- Mark the driver as INTR_MPSAFE.
- Split the default media choice code out into xl_choose_media() to
avoid making poor assumptions about the state of the lock during attach.
- The miibus upcall/downcall paths may still be racy.
Change to commented-out locking assertions there for now.
- Tested with nfsclient, routed, ssh, ntp, dhclient and quagga bgpd.
- This needs SMP test coverage. I do not have such resources.

register, present only on 3c90xB and later NICs. This meant that you could
not use a 1500 byte MTU with VLANs on original 3c905/3c900 cards (boomerang
chipset). The boomerang chip does support large frames though, just not
in the same way: you can set the 'allow large frames' bit in the MAC
control register to receive frames up to 4K in size.
Changes:
- Set the 'allow large frames' bit for boomerang chips and increase
the packet size register for cyclone and later chips. This allows
us to use IFCAP_VLAN_MTU on all supported xl(4) NICs.
- Actually set the IFCAP_VLAN_MTU flag in the capabilities word
in xl_attach().
- Change the method used to detect older boomerang chips. My 3c575C
cardbus NIC was being incorrectly identified as 3c90x chip instead
of 3c90xB because the capabilities word in its EEPROM reports
a bizzare value. In addition to checking for the supportsNoTxLength
bit, also check for the absence of the supportsLargePackets bit.
Both of these cases denote a 3c90xB chip.
- Make RX and TX checksums configurable via the SIOCSIFCAP ioctl.
- Avoid an unecessary le32toh() in xl_rxeof(): we already have the
received frame size in the lower 16 bits of rxstat, no need to
read it again.

forced to do slightly bogus power state manipulation. However, this
is one of those features that is preventing further progress, so mark
them as BURN_BIRDGES like I did for the drivers in sys/dev/...
This, like the other change, are a no-op unless you have BURN_BRIDGES
in your kernel.
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

mapped I/O mode, we pause for .1 seconds after issuing the reset command
before trying to poll the 'command busy' bit in the status register.
With my 3c575C cardbus NIC, my Sony Picturebook locks up when it tries
to read the status register immediately after the reset. This appears
to be a problem only with certain NICs on certain hardware, but the
added delay should not hurt cards that already work.
This bug seems to have been brought to light by the fact that the xl
driver now defaults to memory mapped I/O mode instead of programmed
I/O mode like it used to. With PIO mode, the delay isn't needed and
everything works (which is why this NIC worked with 5.0-RELEASE but
not 5.1). I suspect that what's happening is that when the chip is
reset, it takes a little while for the memory-mapped decoding logic
to recover. Trying to access the chip's registers during this period
causes an error condition of some kind that wedges the system.
if attach succeeded. device_is_alive just tells us that probe
succeeded. Since we were using it to do things like detach net
interfaces, this caused problems when there were errors in the attach
routine.
Symptoms of problem reported by: martin blapp
- 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.)
