Add in missing case for i845G in the attach routine. I'll MFC this
with the rest of the change after the 4.10 codefreeze lifts.

Under polling(4), we counted non-existent output packets and wasted
CPU cycles, corrected. (PR kern/64975.)
The fix in revision 1.71 to correct resetting of the watchdog timer
was wrong.
In rl(4), the TX list does not have a gap between the consumer and
producer, so the "empty TX list" test was wrong, corrected.
Also, resetting the timer to five each time we know there is still
some TX work to do was a bad idea -- under polling(4), if the chip
goes out to lunch, this results in the watchdog routine to _never_
be called. Instead, let the timer downgrade to zero and fire the
watchdog, then reset it to five when it is zero AND there is some
TX work left. (Most other network drivers need this fix too.)

Moved the RX ring resyncing code to ste_rxeoc(), and only run it
if we were asked to POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS, under DEVICE_POLLING.
(This significantly reduces the CPU load.)
Improved the RX ring resyncing code by re-checking if the head
is still empty before doing resyncing. This mostly affects the
DEVICE_POLLING mode, where we run this code periodically. We
could start checking with an empty head (well, an empty ring
even), and after doing a few iterations, the chip might write
a few entries, including the head, and we would bogusly consider
this case as requiring resyncing. On a test box, this reduced
the number of resyncs done by a factor of 10.
In ste_txeof(sc), only reset the watchdog timer to zero when
the TX list is completely empty.
Converted ste_tx_prev_idx to a pointer -- faster.
Removed some bitrot.
refcnt on the node but left it in the node table. This allows the node table
to hold the results of scanned ap's but for ibss scans left nodes w/o any
driver-private state setup and/or a bad refcnt (when the nodes were timed
out they were prematurely discarded). Now we treat nodes identified for ap
scanning as before but force nodes discovered when scanning for ibss neighbors
to have complete/proper state and hold the refcnt on the node. Any other
nodes created because of these frames are discarded directly (need to optimize
this case to eliminate various work that's immediately discarded).
do scanning when operating in adhoc mode. This is necessary to insure
nodes in the table have a correct refcnt and driver-private state but is
suboptimal. A better solution is to probe undiscovered neighbors and use
the probe response to do the right thing (support for that comming in a
separate commit).
o remove IEEE80211_C_RCVMGT capability
o on transmit craft new nodes as needed using new ieee80211_find_txnode routine
o add ieee80211_find_txnode routine to lookup a node by mac address and
if not present create one when operating in ibss/ahdemo mode; new nodes
are dup'd from bss and the driver is told to treat the node as if a new
association has been created so driver-private state (e.g. rate control
handling) is setup

blindy copying the node contents; this turns out to be a bad idea as we
add more state in the node for things like WPA

on architectures that need to call cninit() before the machine is
ready to support mutexes (required by make_dev()).
- Remove make_dev() call from scinit() when flags indicate
unit is the system console, rely on sc_attach_unit() to
handle it.
- When trying to access current screen's status (scr_stat
structure) use the static one provided for the initial
system console if no dev_t is available.
- When calling make_dev() in sc_attach_unit() catch special
case of system's initial console and set up dev_t structure
to include pointer to console's scr_stat struct.

- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
don't try to unlock it and then relock it.
- Push Giant down into proc_rwmem() instead of forcing all the consumers
(including Alpha breakpoint support) to explicitly wrap calls to
proc_rwmem() with Giant.
