The delta here is just between the current TX/RX copmletion and the previous
TX/RX completion. The metadata needed to link TX descriptor timestamps to their
/completion/ timestamp isn't there yet.
Our base binutils sets -many by default anyway, but external gcc may not do
this.

This is supposed to only be applied to the first subframe and only if
RTS/CTS is being done. I'm still not yet checking RTS/CTS exchange status
so it's just happening for all subframes on AR9380 and later.
This gets MCS23 throughput up from around 250mbit to 303mbit with RTS/CTS
protection enabled, and around 330mbit with no HT protection enabled.
Now, MCS23 has a PHY rate of 450mbit and we should be seeing closer to
400mbit for a straight one-way UDP test, but this beats the previous
maximum throughput.
Tested:
* AR9380 (STA) -> AR9580 (AP) - STA with the modifications, doing UDP TX
test using iperf.
mappings for armv6 pmap zero and copy operations to the MD PCPU region.
Change sysmap initialization to only allocate KVA pages for CPUs that

While here, collapse CMAP3 into CMAP2 (their use was mutually exclusive
anyway) and "recover" some space in PCPU padding that has always been
available due to 64-byte cacheline padding.

- Pad small packets to 60 bytes and not 64 (exclude the CRC bytes);
- Pad the packet using m_append(9), if the packet has enough space for
padding, which is usually true, it will not be necessary append a newly
allocated mbuf to the chain.

Stop testing for LK_RETRY and error multiple times. Also postpone the
VI_DOOMED until after LK_RETRY was seen as it reads from the vnode.
No functional changes.
Note that mandoc does not use anymore sqlite3 but a home made database format
An important improvement has been made as well in makewhatis performance:
Tests on my laptop shows makewhatis on the entire system goes from 26s to 12s
A recent change enforced the VAP limit as well as the peer limit.
I now need to actually set iv_ampdu_limit or we don't transmit more
than 8K sized aggregates.
This restores the expected (suboptimal, but still much faster) behaviour.

configtimer().
During normal operation "state->nextcallopt" will always be less than
or equal to "state->nextcall" and checking only "state->nextcallopt"
before calling "callout_process()" is sufficient. However when
"configtimer()" is called a race might happen requiring both of these
binary times to be checked.
Short description of race:
1) A configtimer() call will reset both "state->nextcall" and
"state->nextcallopt" to the same binary time.
2) If a "callout_reset()" call happens between "configtimer()" and the
next "callout_process()" call, "state->nextcallopt" will get updated
and "state->nextcall" will remain at the current time. Refer to logic
inside cpu_new_callout().
3) getnextcpuevent() only respects "state->nextcall" and returns this
value over and over again, even if it is in the past, until "now >=
state->nextcallopt" becomes true. Then these two time variables are
corrected by a "callout_process()" call and the situation goes back to
normal.
The problem manifests itself in different ways. The common factor is
the timer process(es) consume all CPU on one or more CPU cores for a
long time, blocking other kernel processes from getting execution
time. This can be seen by very high interrupt counts as displayed by
"vmstat -i | grep timer" right after boot.
When EARLY_AP_STARTUP was enabled in r310177 the likelyhood of hitting
this bug apparently increased.
Example output from "vmstat -i" before patch:
cpu0:timer 7591 69
cpu9:timer 39031773 358089
cpu4:timer 9359 85
cpu3:timer 9100 83
cpu2:timer 9620 88
Example output from "vmstat -i" after patch:
cpu0:timer 4242 34
cpu6:timer 5531 44
cpu3:timer 6450 52
cpu1:timer 4545 36
cpu9:timer 7153 58
Before the patch cpu9 in the example above, was spinning in a loop in
order to reach 39 million interrupts just a few seconds after
bootup. After the patch the timer interrupt counts are more or less
consistent.

When ixgbe receives an interrupt indicating that a new optical module
may have been inserted, it discards all of its current media types
by calling ifmedia_removeall() and then creates a new set of media
types for the supported media on the new module. However,
ifmedia_removeall() was maintaining a pointer to whatever the
current media type was before the call to ifmedia_removealL().
The result of this was that any attempt to read the current media
type of the interface (e.g. via ifconfig) would return potentially
garbage data from free memory (or if one were particularly unlucky
on an architecture that does not malloc() from a direct map, page
fault the kernel).
Fix this by NULL'ing out the current media field in if_media.c,
and have ixgbe update the current media type after recreating
them.
