corruption. Thanks to scottl@ for the suggestion.
This change will likely be revised after consideration of a general
method to address this type of issue for other drivers.

extract a link status of PHY when parent driver is re(4).
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register does not seem to report correct PHY status
on some integrated PHYs used with re(4).
Unfortunately, RealTek PHYs have no additional information to
differentiate integrated PHYs from external ones so relying on PHY
model number is not enough to know that. However, it seems
RGEPHY_MII_SSR register exists for external RealTek PHYs so
checking parent driver would be good indication to know which PHY
was used. In other words, for non-re(4) controllers, the PHY is
external one and its revision number is greater than or equal to 2.
This change fixes intermittent link UP/DOWN messages reported on
RTL8169 controller.
Also, mii_attach(9) is tried after setting interface name since
rgephy(4) have to know parent driver name.

not get syscall exit notification until the child performed exec of
exit. Swap the order of doing ptracestop() and waiting for P_PPWAIT
clearing, by postponing the wait into syscallret after ptracestop()
notification is done.

USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.
Rx performance not investigated.
I am postponing the MFC so i can import a few more improvements
before merging.
APIC is not found.
- Don't panic if lapic_enable_cmc() is called and the APIC is not enabled.
This can happen due to booting a kernel with APIC disabled on a CPU that
supports CMCI.
- Wrap a long line.
Descriptions are specific to drivers and we don't change drivers on attached
devices. This fixes a few places where we were not clearing the description
when detaching a driver (e.g. with device_attach() failed). While here, fix
a few other nits:
- Remove spurious call to remove a device's driver from
devclass_driver_deleted(). device_detach() removes it already.
- Fix a typo.
- In sched_pickcpu() be more careful taking previous CPU on SMT systems.
Do it only if all other logical CPUs of that physical one are idle to avoid
extra resource sharing.
- In sched_pickcpu() change general logic of CPU selection. First
look for idle CPU, sharing last level cache with previously used one,
skipping SMT CPU groups. If none found, search all CPUs for the least loaded
one, where the thread with its priority can run now. If none found, search
just for the least loaded CPU.
- Make cpu_search() compare lowest/highest CPU load when comparing CPU
groups with equal load. That allows to differentiate 1+1 and 2+0 loads.
- Make cpu_search() to prefer specified (previous) CPU or group if load
is equal. This improves cache affinity for more complicated topologies.
- Randomize CPU selection if above factors are equal. Previous code tend
to prefer CPUs with lower IDs, causing unneeded collisions.
- Rework periodic balancer in sched_balance_group(). With cpu_search()
more intelligent now, make balansing process flat, removing recursion
over the topology tree. That fixes double swap problem and makes load
distribution more even and predictable.
All together this gives 10-15% performance improvement in many tests on
CPUs with SMT, such as Core i7, for number of threads is less then number
of logical CPUs. In some tests it also gives positive effect to systems
without SMT.
