Alfred Perlstein cc8317f2b0 Fix a deadlock in detach/shutdown.
The problem was that I was acquiring the driver sx lock and then waiting
for a taskqueue to drain, however the taskqueue itself would try to
acquire the lock as well leading to a deadlock.

To fix the problem roll my own exclusive lock that allows for lock
cancellation.  This is a normal exclusive lock, however if someone
marks it as "dead" then all waiters who request an error return will
get back an error instead of continuing to wait for the lock.

In this particular case, the shutdown and detach functions kill the
lock while the async task thread tries to acquire the lock but will
abort if the lock returns an error.

The other option was to drop the driver lock mid-detach and mid-shutdown,
mid-detach was a ok, however mid-shutdown was not.

While I'm here, fix a bug in what appears to be the mii link status
word in the softc going out to lunch.  Explicitly set the status
word to 1 after initializing the mii.  This would result in an interface
that would never respond to "if_start" requests as the mii interface
would always look down.

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 ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

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/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/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 might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/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.
