freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

- Add the change made in em to the actual unrefreshed number
of descriptors is used as a basis in rxeof on the way out
to determine if more refresh is needed. NOTE: there is a
difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.
- Change the sysctl handling of flow control, it will now make
the change dynamically when the variable setting changes rather
than requiring a reset.
- Change the eee sysctl naming, validation found the old unintuitive :)
- Last but not least, some important performance tweaks in the TX
path, I found that UDP behavior could be drastically hindered or
improved with just small changes in the start loop. What I have
here is what testing has shown to be the best overall. Its interesting
to note that changing the clean threshold to start at a full half of
the ring, made a BIG difference in performance. I hope that this
will prove to be advantageous for most workloads.
MFC in a week.

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.
