Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Major changes:
- Add i219/i219(2) hardware support. (Found on Skylake generation and newer
chipsets.)
- Further to the last Skylake support diff, this one also includes support for
the Lewisburg chipset (i219(3)).
- Add a workaround to an igb hardware errata.
All 1G server products need to have IPv6 extension header parsing turned off.
This should be listed in the specification updates for current 1G server
products, e.g. for i350 it's errata #37 in this document:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/ethernet-controller-i350-spec-update.pdf
- Avoton (i354) PHY errata workaround added
And a bunch of minor fixes, as well as #defines for things that the current
em(4)/igb(4) drivers don't implement.

- this also includes virtualization support on these devices
Correct some vlan issues we were seeing in test, jumbo frames on vlans
did not work correctly, this was all due to confused logic around HW
filters, the new code should now work for all uses.
Important fix: when mbuf resources are depeleted, it was possible to
completely empty the RX ring, and then the RX engine would stall
forever. This is fixed by a flag being set whenever the refresh code
fails due to an mbuf shortage, also the local timer now makes sure
that all queues get an interrupt when it runs, the interrupt code
will then always call rxeof, and in that routine the first thing done
is now to check the refresh flag and call refresh_mbufs. This has been
verified to fix this type 'hang'. Similar code will follow in the other
drivers.
Finally, sync up shared code for the I350 support.
Thanks to everyone that has been reporting issues, and helping in the
debug/test process!!
the core changes but left out the shared code, lol.
Well, and a couple fixes to the core... hopefully
this will all be complete now.
Happy happy joy joy :)
