This allows us to switch between Altera mSGDMA or SoftDMA engines used by
atse(4) device.
This also makes atse(4) driver become 25% smaller.

The old way required the data to be present really early and copied it from
memory mapped NOR flash; this only worked during kernel boot but not for
ath/ath_hal modules.
Tested:
* AR9331, Carambola2, ath/hal modules.
is now unobtanium. It's only had API changes in the last 7 years, and
is responsible for a very large number of them. In addition, there's a
lot of code that reimplements base FreeBSD functionality, diminishing
the chances it still works. Without hardware to teset it on, or
prospects of obtaining such hardware and without vendor support, it's
time to move on.

it's at least 5 years out of production. I couldn't find a used one on
ebay and other secondary markets just now, nor when I tried 4 years
ago. It dates from the initial project/mips2 merge 8 years ago, and
hasn't been updated since.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
It came into the tree with the project/mips merge 8 years ago. At the
time, it was hard to find a board with enough RAM to run. Now FreeBSD
requires at least 2x the RAM it did then. No changes have happened to
this port apart from API churn and license tagging since then. It ran
OK at the time it was committed, but no sightings in the wild have
happened since shortly after it was committed.
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Adm5120_devices lists a bunch of
boards that were available 5 years ago (but are no longer
available). The beefiest one had only 64MB of RAM which is too
small. The Mirktik RB1xx never had more than 32MB.
Also remove confusing QEMU config file that never ever worked in QEMU
for mips. MALTA is used for that. Another of my past mistakes, false
starts that never amounted to anything.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
never got better. It never worked on real hardware and is still mostly
stubs after 8 years when I added it. It has had no real update in that
time apart from API churn. It was added just so it didn't get lost in
the project/mips merge, but maybe it should have been lost as nothing
has come of it. It is time to give up the ghost on this one.

This compilation issue has been found thanks to freebsd-wifi-build:
- gpioiic requires "gpio_if.h", so "device gpio" is mandatory
- rtl8366rb works over MDIO interface, so "device mdio" is mandatory
Compilation is checked on FreeBSD 12-CURRENT machine.
The driver is functional on both BHND Wi-Fi adapters and MIPS SoCs, but
does not currently include support for features not required by bwn(4),
including GPIO interrupt handling.

HEAD. Enable VIMAGE in GENERIC kernels and some others (where GENERIC does
not exist) on HEAD.
Disable building LINT-VIMAGE with VIMAGE being default.
This should give it a lot more exposure in the run-up to 12 to help
us evaluate whether to keep it on by default or not.
We are also hoping to get better performance testing.
The feature can be disabled using nooptions.

* Add in the hints needed for AR933x ath(4) support - this is the nicer way
that allows ath to be a module;
* ATH_EEPROM_FIRMWARE is also required for all AR933x chipsets.
Tested:
* Carambola2, AR933x
This brings the default configurations (drivers, net80211 settings, etc) and some
of the shared configuration into std.AR_MIPS_BASE. I haven't yet moved the
-current settings (witness, memguard, etc) into it.
This should simplify building a lot of the same test images for my MIPS AP board
development and testing.
This is a work in progress; it's not designed to be perfect!
* add EARLY_PRINTF for debugging
* update module list to be much larger
* add random, otherwise well, stuff doesn't work.
* IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
Tested:
* AP93 (AR7240 + AR9280)
TODO:
* rename to std.AR724X
* unify the built module list between all of the mips24k/mips74k atheros config files -
now that the HAL, hwpmc, USB, etc are per-chip/per-arch modules it is easy to just
compile them all and only include the ones you care about.
* Map change: create a combined kernel+rootfs image. The instructions I'll post
on the wiki (which will be for a very outdated dev board, but at least will
explain the what/why for posterity) will include how to reset the boot command.
Tested:
* AP93 dev board (AR7240 + AR9280)
* Target module have ic plus etherswitch ip175c.
* Also add etherswitch support code on rt driver.

Stop building BERI_DE4_BASE and BERI_SIM_BASE, they aren't particularly
valid as they don't have a root dev. Do build BERI_DE4_SDROOT which
does so devices get coverage.
Remove ident from BERI_DE4_BASE for the reasons above which will cause
it to fail to build. BERI_SIM_BASE was already this way and broke
universe.[0]

Upstream GCC and devel/mips64-gcc use "octeon+" as the CPU setting for
the Octeon processor in the EdgeRouter Lite. As of r312899 the base
system GCC 4.2.1 accepts octeon+ as an alias for the Octeon support
added in r208737 for the same CPU.
