freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

Mike Smith 0b94a66e3f Major bugfix and minor update. This should resolve the current issues
with the driver locking up under load.

 - Restructure so that we use a static pool of commands/FIBs, rather than
   allocating them in clusters.  The cluster allocation just made things
   more complicated, and allowed us to waste more memory in peak load
   situations.
 - Make queueing macros more like my other drivers.  This adds queue stats
   for free.  Add some debugging to take advantage of this.
 - Reimplement the periodic timeout scan.  Kick the interrupt handler
   and the start routine every scan as well, just to be safe.  Track busy
   commands properly.
 - Bring resource cleanup into line with resource allocation.  We should
   now clean up correctly after a failed probe/unload/etc.
 - Try to start new commands when old ones are completed.  We weren't doing
   this before, which could lead to deadlock when the controller was full.
 - Don't try to build a new command if we have found a deferred command.
   This could cause us to lose the deferred command.
 - Use diskerr() to report I/O errors.
 - Don't bail if the AdapterInfo structure is the wrong size.  Some variation
   seems to be normal.  We need to improve our handing of 2.x firmware sets.
 - Improve some comments in an attempt to try to make things clearer.
 - Restructure to avoid some warnings.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
