Now that I understand what's going on - and the RX antenna array maps
to what the receive LNA configuration actually is - I feel comfortable
in enabling this.
If people do have issues with this, there's enough debugging now available
that we have a chance to diagnose it without writing it up as 'weird
crap.'
Tested:
* AR9285 STA w/ diversity combining enabled in EEPROM
TODO:
* (More) testing in hostap mode
and controlling this form of antenna diversity) - print out the AR9285
antenna diversity configuration at attach time.
This will help track down and diagose if/when people have connectivity
issues on cards (eg if they connect a single antenna to LNA1, yet the
card has RX configured to only occur on LNA2.)
Tested:
* AR9285 w/ antenna diversity enabled in EEPROM;
* AR9285 w/ antenna diversity disabled in EEPROM; mapping only to a
single antenna (LNA1.)

- feature: add glue for 'indirect' buffers on the sender side:
if a slot has NS_INDIRECT set, the netmap buffer contains pointer(s)
to the actual userspace buffers, which are accessed with copyin().
The feature is not finalised yet, as it will likely need to deal
with some iovec variant for proper scatter/gather support.
This will save one copy for clients (e.g. qemu) that cannot
use the netmap buffer directly.
A curiosity: on amd64 copyin() appears to be 10-15% faster than pkt_copy()
or bcopy() at least for sizes of 256 and greater.
the RX antenna field.
The AR9285/AR9485 use an LNA mixer to determine how to combine the signals
from the two antennas. This is encoded in the RSSI fields (ctl/ext) for
chain 2. So, let's use that here.
This maps RX antennas 0->3 to the RX mixer configuration used to
receive a frame. There's more that can be done but this is good enough
to diagnose if the hardware is doing "odd" things like trying to
receive frames on LNA2 (ie, antenna 2 or "alt" antenna) when there's
only one antenna connected.
Tested:
* AR9285, STA mode
for the RX path.
This is different to the div comb HAL flag, that says it actually
can use this for RX diversity (the "slow" diversity path implemented
but disabled in the AR9285 HAL code.)
Tested:
* AR9285, STA operation
swap_pager_copy() is invoked, otherwise there is no reason to do so.
This will eliminate the necessity to busy pages most of the times.

Fix uninitialized memory reference in mps_read_config_page. It was
referencing a field (params->hdr.Ext.ExtPageType) that would only be
set when reading an Extended config page. The symptom was that
MPSIO_READ_CFG_PAGE ioctls would randomly fail with
MPI2_IOCSTATUS_CONFIG_INVALID_PAGE errors. The solution is to
determine whether an extended or an ordinary config page is requested
by looking at the PageType field, which should be available regardless.
Similarly, mps_user_read_extcfg_header and mps_user_read_extcfg_page,
which call mps_read_config_page, had to be fixed to always set the
PageType field. They were implicitly assuming that
mps_read_config_page always operated on Extended pages.

* Grab the reset lock first, so any subsequent interrupt, TX, RX work
will fail
* Then shut down interrupts
* Then wait for TX/RX to finish running
At this point no further work will be running, so it's safe to do the
reset path code.

The main problem here is that fast and driver RX diversity isn't actually
configured; I need to figure out why that is. That said, this makes
the single-antenna connected AR9285 and AR2427 (AR9285 w/ no 11n) work
correctly.

Drivers can set ifp->if_hw_tsomax before calling ether_ifattach() to
change the limit.
The lowest allowable size is IP_MAXPACKET / 8 (8192 bytes) as anything
less wouldn't be very useful anymore. The upper limit is still at
IP_MAXPACKET (65536 bytes). Raising it requires further auditing of
the IPv4/v6 code path's as the length field in the IP header would
overflow leading to confusion in firewalls and others packet handler on
the real size of the packet.
The placement into "struct ifnet" is a bit hackish but the best place
that was found. When the stack/driver boundary is updated it should
be handled in a better way.

clearing the page's PGA_REFERENCED flag. Since we are typically
manipulating the page's act_count field when we are clearing its
PGA_REFERENCED flag, the page lock is already held everywhere that we clear
the PGA_REFERENCED flag. So, in fact, this revision only changes some
comments and an assertion. Nonetheless, it will enable later changes to
object locking in the pageout code.
Introduce vm_page_assert_locked(), which completely hides the implementation
details of the page lock from the caller, and use it in
vm_page_aflag_clear(). (The existing vm_page_lock_assert() could not be
used in vm_page_aflag_clear().) Over the coming weeks, I expect that we'll
either eliminate or replace the various uses of vm_page_lock_assert() with
vm_page_assert_locked().
