- Give up endianess support and switch to native-endian format for
accessing hardware structures. In fact embedded processor for
BCM57xx is big-endian architure(MIPS) and it requires native-endian
format for NIC structures.The NIC performs necessary byte/word
swapping depending on programmed endian type.
- With above changes all htole16/htole32 calls were gone.
- Remove bge_vhandle member in softc and changed to use explicit
register access. This may add additional performance penalty
that than that of previous memory access. But most of the access
is performed on initialization phase(e.g. RCB setup), it would be
negligible.
Due to incorrect use of bus_dma(9) in bge(4) it still panics sparc64
system in device detach path. The issue would be fixed in next patch.

cluster allocator, that wasn't MPSAFE. Instead, utilize our new generic
UMA jumbo cluster allocator. Since UMA gives us a 9k piece that is contigous
in virtual memory, but isn't contigous in physical memory we need to handle
a few segments. To deal with this we utilize Tigon chip feature - extended
RX descriptors, that can handle up to four DMA segments for one frame.
Details:
o Remove bge_alloc_jumbo_mem(), bge_free_jumbo_mem(),
bge_jalloc(), bge_jfree() functions.
o Remove SLIST heads, bge_jumbo_tag, bge_jumbo_map from softc.
o Use extended RX BDs for Jumbo receive producer ring, and
initialize it appropriately.
o New bge_newbuf_jumbo():
- Allocate an mbuf with Jumbo cluster with help of m_cljget().
- Load the cluster for DMA with help of bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg().
- Assert that we got 3 segments in the DMA mapping.
- Fill in these 3 segments into the extended RX descriptor.
2) rework link state detection code & use it in POLLING mode
3) fix 2 bugs in link state detection code:
a) driver unable to detect link loss on bcm5721
b) on bcm570x chips (tested on bcm5700 bcm5701 bcm5702) driver fails
to detect link loss with probability 1/6 (solved in brgphy.c)
Devices working in TBI mode should not be affected by this change.

rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are
through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

calls to m_adj() that already exist. m_adj() is probably better suited for
this task anyways. Just as with if_em, this saves a malloc + several locks

I have from Broadcom does not give much information on these devices,

copper NICs, a link change event is posted whenever MII autopolling is
toggled off and on, which happens whenever someone calls
bge_miibus_readreg() or bge_miibus_writereg() to access the PHY
registers. This means anytime someone called the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl
on a bge interface, the link would reset. Even a simple "ifconfig bge0"
would do it, though other apps like dhclient or the PPPoE daemon could
trigger it as well. An obvious symptom of this problem is lots of
"bgeX: gigabit link up" messages appearing on the console for no
apparent reason.
Through experimentation, I determined that when a real link change
event occurs, the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL in the BGE_MI_MODE register
is always set, so now if we have a copper NIC and an link change
event occurs and the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL bit is clear, we ignore
the event.
Note that this does not apply to the original BCM5700 chip since we
use a different method for sensing link changes with that chip (the
status block method was broken), nor to fiber optic NICs since they
don't use the GMII PHY access registers.
(in particular, bge(4) hasn't supported rxcsum since if_bge.c#1.5)
Clean up some aspects of capabilities usage, i.e. stop using
if_hwassist to see whether we are doing offload now because if_hwassist
is for TCP/IP layer and it is subordinate to if_capenable.

the advertisement of pause frame ability (i.e flow control) when in
autoneg mode. If we don't set these registers correctly, we may not
be able to negotiate a proper link with some switches. (Symptom is that
the NIC reports the link as up (PCS synched) but no traffic can be
exchanged.)
