- More flexible cluster size selection, including the ability to fall
back to a safe cluster size (PAGE_SIZE from zone_jumbop by default) in
case an allocation of a larger size fails.
- A single get_fl_payload() function that assembles the payload into an
mbuf chain for any kind of freelist. This replaces two variants: one
for freelists with buffer packing enabled and another for those without.
- Buffer packing with any sized cluster. It was limited to 4K clusters
only before this change.
- Enable buffer packing for TOE rx queues as well.
- Statistics and tunables to go with all these changes. The driver's
man page will be updated separately.

hw.cxgbe.rsrv_noflow. When set, queue 0 of the port is reserved for
TX packets without a flowid. The hash value of packets with a flowid
is bumped up by 1. The intent is to provide a private queue for
link-level packets like LACP that is unlikely to overflow or suffer
deep queue latency.

throttling (to force selected tx queues to drain at a fixed Kbps rate,
or a % of the port's total bandwidth, or at a fixed pps rate, etc.).

This is a T4 and T5 chip feature which lets the chip deliver multiple
Ethernet frames in a single buffer. This is more efficient within the
chip, in the driver, and reduces wastage of space in rx buffers.
- Always allocate rx buffers from the jumbop zone, no matter what the
MTU is. Do not use the normal cluster refcounting mechanism.
- Reserve space for an mbuf and a refcount in the cluster itself and let
the chip DMA multiple frames in the rest.
- Use the embedded mbuf for the first frame and allocate mbufs on the
fly for any additional frames delivered in the cluster. Each of these
mbufs has a reference on the underlying cluster.
- tom_uninit had to be reworked not to hold the adapter lock (a mutex)
around t4_deactivate_uld, which acquires the uld_list_lock.
- the ifc_match for the interface cloner that creates the tracer ifnet
had to be reworked as the kernel calls ifc_match with the global
if_cloners_mtx held.
