kept unused in the ring. This check should probably be moved up to
bce_start_locked at some point, as it'll make the loop up there slightly
more efficient, and will eliminate a costly set of busdma operations when
the ring is full. But this works for now.
This makes all of my UDP torture tests work. I'll cautiously say that
it might even work for other users now. Feedback is appreciated.
If the length is zero, catch this early, instead of making dflen go negative
and letting bad things happen... We also check to see if RV (checksum) is
0, and handle that has a checksum failure...
Properly handle checksum failures by not processing read-write VPD data,
and removing all the found read-only data...

should be easily adapted to SD 2.0 (aka SDHC), SDIO, MMC and MMCplus
cards. At the present time, there's only one bridge driver for the
ARM9 based Atmel AT91RM9200.
tasks. Since the host controllers rely on tasks to process transfer
timeouts, if a synchronous transfer from a driver was invoked from
a task and timed out, it would never complete because the single
task thread was stuck performing the synchronous transfer so couldn't
process the timeout.
This affected the axe, udav and ural drivers.

- Use bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() to eliminate the need for the callback and
all of the extra bookkeeping associated with it.
- Eliminate the bce_dmamap_arg structure and streamline the memory allocation
routines to not need it. This does change some of the debugging messages.
- Refactor the loop that fills the buffer descriptor so that it can be done
with a single set of logic in a single loop instead of two sets of logic.
- Eliminate the need to cache and pass descriptor indexes between the start
loop and the encap function.
- Change the start loop to always check the ifnet sendq for more work.
This significantly helps the driver withstand large UDP workloads, though
it's still not perfect. I suspect the remaining work lies with handling
the OACTIVE flag, and also in possibly streamlining the interrupt handler
some. It is, however, nearly on par with the other popular gigabit drivers
in terms of stability now.
