network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
- Remove NetBSD-style or-ed together BUS_DMASYNC operations, in some
cases relaxing the (intended) syncing operation a bit.
- Add syncs before reading the descriptor rings.
- Try to combine syncs where possible to avoid overhead.
- Sync all maps before unloading them.
from the hardware descriptors to avoid the overhead of having a DMA
map for each of them. Bump the number of hardware descriptors to 128,
and use half as many software descriptors for now.
Some minor cleanups.
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

- always reinitialize the rx descriptors, even if the mbuf is kept.
This should fix the hangs on ifconfig that were observed
- on an rx overflow, reinitialize the descriptor so that the interface
will not hang
- correct some bus_dmamap_sync() calls
- correct some debug messages
- some minor nits
- remove some useless code from the status change handler that was intended
to enable the the MII drivers for external phys; this is already done
during interface initialization, and the deleted code made some
assumptions about phy addresses that do not seem to hold true on newer
cards. This should get at least one of the two hmes of newer Netra t1
machines working.
- correct the interrupt resource allocation
- bump the number of RX descriptors, lower values cause promblems on some
machines
in most machines of the Sun Ultra series. This is a port of the NetBSD
driver which I enhanced to make use of the gather functionality and the
configurable RX buffer offset to avoid copying all received/sent packet
(instead, packets will be directly DMAd from mbuf chains and into mbuf
clusters now).
