This change will likely be revised after consideration of a general

extract a link status of PHY when parent driver is re(4).
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register does not seem to report correct PHY status
on some integrated PHYs used with re(4).
Unfortunately, RealTek PHYs have no additional information to
differentiate integrated PHYs from external ones so relying on PHY
model number is not enough to know that. However, it seems
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register exists for external RealTek PHYs so
checking parent driver would be good indication to know which PHY
was used. In other words, for non-re(4) controllers, the PHY is
external one and its revision number is greater than or equal to 2.
This change fixes intermittent link UP/DOWN messages reported on
RTL8169 controller.
Also, mii_attach(9) is tried after setting interface name since
rgephy(4) have to know parent driver name.

USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.

been bait-and-switched from the rate control code.
This will avoid the panic that I saw and will avoid sending invalid rates
(eg 11a/11g OFDM rates when in 11b, on 11b-only NICs (AR5211)) where the
rate table is not "big".
It also will point out situations where this occurs for the 11n NICs
which will have sufficiently large rate tables that "invalid rix" doesn't
occur.
I'll try to follow this up with a commit that adds a current operating mode
check. The "rix" is only relevant to the current operating mode and rate
table.

* ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the
thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_
be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet
and call that from:
+ ath_calibrate()
+ ath_watchdog()
This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame
RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock
context.
* Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock
and disable interrupts.
The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently
queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee
no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this
call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't
work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever
reason, everything gets very angry and stops working.
This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet()
run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit.
The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following:
* having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc;
* having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc;
* only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the
lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling
is going to occur.
* Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been
disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything
that _was_ scheduled or running is removed.
The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task
after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain()
has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain()
will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

RTL810x family , RTL8139 has different register map for Config
registers.
While here, follow the lead of re(4) in WOL configuration.
- Disable WOL_UCAST and WOL_MCAST capabilities by default.
- Config5 register write does not need to unlock EEPROM access
on RTL8139 family but unlocking EEPROM access does not affect
its operation and make it consistent with re(4).

- Remove all attempts to guess physical temperature using DiodeOffset.
There are too many reports that it varies wildly depending on motherboard.
Instead, if it is known to scale well and its offset is known from other
temperature sensors on board, the user may set "dev.amdtemp.0.sensor_offset"
tunable to compensate the difference. Document the caveats in amdtemp(4).
- Add a quirk for Socket AM2 Revision G processors. These processors are
known to have a different offset according to Linux k8temp driver.
- Warn about Family 10h Erratum 319. These processors have broken sensors.
- Report temperature in more logical orders under dev.amdtemp node. For
example, "dev.amdtemp.0.sensor0.core0" is now "dev.amdtemp.0.core0.sensor0".
- Replace K8, K10 and K11 with official processor names in amdtemp(4).
I'm not sure _why_ the ic is NULL here, but I've seen it occasionally do
this after I've been tinkering with things for a while. It ends up
crashing in a call to ath_chan_set() via the net80211 scan code and scan
task.
don't give RX path more priority than TX path.
Also remove infinite loop in interrupt handler and limit number of
iteration to 32. This change addresses system load fluctuations
under high network load.

While here, use status register to know resolved speed/duplex.
With this change, sf(4) correctly reports speed/duplex of
established link.

- In case the parent is bge(4), don't set the Jumbo frame settings unless
the MAC actually is Jumbo capable as otherwise the PHY might not have the
corresponding registers implemented. This is also in line with what the
Linux tg3 driver does.

This is part of my series of work to try and capture when net80211
locking isn't.
ObNote: it'd be nice to be able to mark a lock as "assert if the lock
is dropped", so I could capture functions which decide that dropping
and reacquiring the lock is a good idea (without re-checking the
sanity of the state protected by the lock.)
