in the default CFLAGS, we're in the middle of a ports freeze, so we can't
really go making the corresponding change to the ports mk files.
I'll take -fno-strict-aliasing out again when the ports freeze ends.

This time, change the default CFLAGS to match the simple defaults that
the tinderboxes use. That is, don't use -fno-strict-aliasing by default.
My last attempt to re-anable -Werror gave me a lesson in what strict
aliasing is all about. There was code in libthr that wasn't 64-bit clean.
The default use of -fno-strict-aliasing hid that.
By using -fno-strict-aliasing by default we were choosing to ignore
problems in code which had the potential to shoot ourselves in the
foot. Sometimes it would be the 64-bit foot. I have both feet. The left
ones are 32 bits and the right ones are 64 bits. Don't ask about my
endian orientation. :-)
The -fno-strict-aliasing compiler arg can still be used if NO_STRING_ALIASING
is define in make.
We are early in the FreeBSD 8 development, so we have the opportunity to
wait and see if this works for us. I am sure that people will complain.
We can easily revert this. All I ask is that we take sides: clean code or
not. YMMV.
Note that by using -fno-strict-aliasing the build won't actually break.
Only where WARNS is set (and -Werror is used) will a compiler warning break
the build. The use of WARNS levels implies (to me at least) that the
developer has taken some care to make the code pass basic checks. This
commit makes those checks just a little bit more strict.

obstacle to enabling -Werror. I'll continue to work on cleaning up the
code so that we can keep this enabled.
If the tinderboxes would just use the default CFLAGS set in this file,
all would be fine and we'd be able to make use of -Werror.
upgrading to new releases. Important parts of this code include
* automatically determining which optional components (e.g., src,
info, proflibs) are installed.
* merging changes in files which are modified locally and have
changed between the currently running and new release.
* prompting the user to rebuild all 3rd party software before
deleting old shared libraries.
Yes, this is compatible with "freebsd-update rollback" -- you can
test a new -BETA and roll back to the old release if you don't
like it.
Subject to re@ approval, this will be MFCed before 7.0-BETA3 and
6.3-RC1.

changes:
01 - Enhanced LRO:
LRO feature is extended to support multi-buffer mode. Previously,
Ethernet frames received in contiguous buffers were offloaded.
Now, frames received in multiple non-contiguous buffers can be
offloaded, as well. The driver now supports LRO for jumbo frames.
02 - Locks Optimization:
The driver code was re-organized to limit the use of locks.
Moreover, lock contention was reduced by replacing wait locks
with try locks.
03 - Code Optimization:
The driver code was re-factored to eliminate some memcpy
operations. Fast path loops were optimized.
04 - Tag Creations:
Physical Buffer Tags are now optimized based upon frame size.
For better performance, Physical Memory Maps are now re-used.
05 - Configuration:
Features such as TSO, LRO, and Interrupt Mode can be configured
either at load or at run time. Rx buffer mode (mode 1 or mode 2)
can be configured at load time through kenv.
06 - Driver Statistics:
Run time statistics are enhanced to provide better visibility
into the driver performance.
07 - Bug Fixes:
The driver contains fixes for the problems discovered and
reported since last submission.
08 - MSI support:
Added Message Signaled Interrupt feature which currently uses 1
message.
09 Removed feature:
Rx 3 buffer mode feature has been removed. Driver now supports 1,
2 and 5 buffer modes of which 2 and 5 buffer modes can be used
for header separation.
10 Compiler warning:
Fixed compiler warning when compiled for 32 bit system.
11 Copyright notice:
Source files are updated with the proper copyright notice.
