I've come across a weird scenario in net80211 where two TX streams will
happily attempt to setup an aggregation session together.
If we're very lucky, it happens concurrently on separate CPUs and the
total lack of locking in the net80211 aggregation code causes this stuff
to race. Badly.
So >1 call would occur to the ath(4) addba start, but only one call would
complete to addba complete or timeout. The TID would thus stay paused.
The real fix is to implement some proper per-node (or maybe per-TID)
locking in net80211, which then could be leveraged by the ath(4) TX
aggregation code.
Whilst I'm at it, shuffle around the debugging messages a bit.
I like to keep people on their toes.
queued internally. This works around issue in the isci HAL where it cannot
accept new I/O to a device after a resetting->ready state transition until
the completion context has unwound.
This issue was found by submitting non-tagged CCBs through pass(4) interface
to a SATA disk with an extremely small timeout value (5ms). This would trigger
internal resets with I/O in the isci(4) internal queues.
The small timeout value had not been intentional (and original reporter has
since changed his test to use 5sec instead), but it did uncover this corner
case that would result in a hung disk.

Eliminate bpf_buffer_alloc() and allocate BPF buffers on descriptor creation and BIOCSBLEN ioctl.

'flags' field is added to the end of bpf_if structure. Currently the only
flag is BPFIF_FLAG_DYING which is set on bpf detach and checked by bpf_attachd()
Problem can be easily triggered on SMP stable/[89] by the following command (sort of):
'while true; do ifconfig vlan222 create vlan 222 vlandev em0 up ; tcpdump -pi vlan222 & ; ifconfig vlan222 destroy ; done'
Fix possible use-after-free when BPF detaches itself from interface, freeing bpf_bif memory,
while interface is still UP and there can be routes via this interface.
Freeing is now delayed till ifnet_departure_event is received via eventhandler(9) api.
Convert bpfd rwlock back to mutex due lack of performance gain (currently checking if packet

Ian Lapore whose company uses a similar arrangement in their product).
at91_pmc_clock_init() is now nearly independent of the rest of the pmc

with the device ordering which requires pmc to be the first device

to this pmap.c. This new r/w lock is used primarily to synchronize access
to the PV lists. However, it will be used in a somewhat unconventional
way. As finer-grained PV list locking is added to each of the pmap
functions that acquire this r/w lock, its acquisition will be changed from
write to read, enabling concurrent execution of the pmap functions with
finer-grained locking.

The generic ELF loading code maps the kernel into low memory
by subtracting KERN_BASE. So the copyin/copyout/readin functions
are always called with low addresses. This code finds the largest
DRAM block from the U-Boot memory map and adds that base to
the addresses.
In particular, this fixes ubldr on AM3358, which has DRAM
mapped to 0x80000000 at power-on.

There's some TX path TDMA code in if_ath_tx.c which should be migrated
out, but first I should likely try and verify/fix/repair the TDMA support
in 9.x and -HEAD.
* migrate the rx processing out into if_ath_rx.c
* migrate the TSF functions into if_ath_tsf.h, as inlines
This is in prepration for supporting the EDMA RX routines, required to
support the AR93xx series NICs.
TODO:
* ath_start() shouldn't be private, but it's called as part of
the RX path. I should likely migrate ath_rx_tasklet() back into
if_ath.c and then return this to be 'static'. The RX code really
shouldn't need to see TX routines (and vice versa.)
* ath_beacon_* should be in if_ath_beacon.[ch].
