A-MSDU is another 11n aggregation mechanism where multiple ethernet
frames get LLC encapsulated (so they have a length field), padded,
and put in a single MPDU (802.11 MAC frame.) This means it gets sent
out as a single frame, with a single seqno, it's acked as one frame, etc.
It turns out that, hah, atheros fast frames is almost but not quite
like this, so I'm reusing all of the current superg/fast-frames stuff
in order to actually transmit A-MSDU. Yes, this means that A-MSDU
frames are also only aggregated two at a time, so it's not necessarily
a huge win, but it's better than nothing.
This doesn't do anything by default - the driver needs to say it does
A-MSDU as well as set the AMSDU software TX capability so this code path
gets exercised.
For now, the only driver that enables this is urtwn. I'll enable it
for rsu at some point soon.
Tested:
* Add an amsdu encap path to aggregate two frames, same as the
fast-frames path.
* Always do the superg init/teardown and node init/teardown stuff,
regardless of whether the nodes are doing fast-frames (the ATH
capability stuff.) That way we can reuse it for amsdu.
* Don't do AMSDU for multicast/broadcast and EAPOL frames.
* If we're doing A-MPDU, then don't bother doing FF/A-MSDU.
We can likely do both together, but I don't want to change
behaviour.
* Teach the fast frames approx txtime logic to support the 11n
rates. But, since we don't currently have a full "current rate"
support, assume it's HT20, long-gi, etc. That way we overshoot
on the TX time estimation, so we're always inside the requirements.
(And we only aggregate two frames for now, so we're not really
going to exceed that.)
* Drop the maximum FF age default down to 2ms, otherwise we end up
with some very annoyingly large latencies.
TODO:
* We only aggregate two ethernet frames, so I'm not checking the max
A-MSDU size. But when it comes time to support >2 frames, we should
obey that.
Tested:
* urtwn(4)
This appears to be implementation dependent but convenient and makes
our sed behave more like GNU sed.
Given that it is not the historic behavior, bump FreeBSD_version
should userland/ports somehow depend on it.

The urtwn hardware transmits FF/A-MSDU just fine - it takes an 802.11
frame and will dutifully send the thing.
So:
* bump RX queue up from 1. Why's it 1? That's really silly.
* Add the "software A-MSDU" encap capability bit.
* bump the TX buffer size up so we can at least send A-MSDU frames.
* track active frames submitted to the NIC - we can't make assumptions
about how many are in flight in the NIC though. For 88E parts we
could use per-packet TX indication, but for R92 parts we can't.
So, just fake it somewhat.
* Kick the transmit queue when we finish reception; try to avoid stalls.
* Kick the FF queue a little more regularly.
A-MSDU TX won't happen until the net80211 side is done, but atheros
fast-frames support should now work.
Tested:
* urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188EU, RF 6052 1T1R ; A-MSDU transmit.
* begin moving the 11n macros out of ieee80211_phy.c and
into a header so they can be used elsewhere.
* rename some of them into the IEEE80211_* namespace.
* convert HT_RC_2_MCS() to work with three-stream rates.
do software A-MSDU encapsulation.
Right now there's AMSDU TX/RX capability bits and they're mostly
unused, however I'd like to maintain those as the general configuration,
not also "please software encap AMSDU." For platforms that can do
A-MSDU in firmware (iwn, iwm, etc) then their init paths can read
this flag to configure A-MSDU.
ncq was not being inititialized properly but it was not actually
necessary either, so make the code smaller by removing it.

The PLL_X, base CPU frequency source, doesn't have a bypass switch and thus
we must use another frequency source for CPU while changing its frequency.
PLL_P is ideal for this, it runs at 480MHz and CPU can be clocked at this
frequency at any CPU voltage.
This is compatible with the ds1307, but comparing the mcp7941x datasheet vs the
ds1307 code, appears there is one bit placement difference, so that is now
accounted for.

OFW i2c probing requires a new method ofw_bus_get_node(), and the bus device is
assumed iichb. With these changes, i2c devices attached in fdt are probed and
attached automagically.
The fdc worker thread was using a one second timeout while waiting for
a new bio to arrive or for the device to detach. However, the driver
already does a wakeup when queueing a new bio or asking the thread to
detach, so the timeout only served to waste CPU time waking up the
thread once a second just so it could go right back to sleep. Use an
infinite timeout instead.

many SoCs these two are the same, however there is no requirement for this
to be the case, e.g. on the ARM Juno we boot on what the GIC thinks of as

Previously, the code determined a topology of processing units
(hardware threads, cores, packages) and then deduced a cache topology
using certain assumptions. The new code builds a topology that
includes both processing units and caches using the information
provided by the hardware.
At the moment, the discovered full topology is used only to creeate
a scheduling topology for SCHED_ULE.
There is no KPI for other kernel uses.
Summary:
- based on APIC ID derivation rules for Intel and AMD CPUs
- can handle non-uniform topologies
- requires homogeneous APIC ID assignment (same bit widths for ID
components)
- topology for dual-node AMD CPUs may not be optimal
- topology for latest AMD CPU models may not be optimal as the code is
several years old
- supports only thread/package/core/cache nodes
Todo:
- AMD dual-node processors
- latest AMD processors
- NUMA nodes
- checking for homogeneity of the APIC ID assignment across packages
- more flexible cache placement within topology
- expose topology to userland, e.g., via sysctl nodes
Long term todo:
- KPI for CPU sharing and affinity with respect to various resources
(e.g., two logical processors may share the same FPU, etc)

(1) New struct intr_map_data is defined as a container for arbitrary
description of an interrupt used by a device. Typically, an interrupt
number and configuration relevant to an interrupt controller is encoded
in such description. However, any additional information may be encoded
too like a set of cpus on which an interrupt should be enabled or vendor
specific data needed for setup of an interrupt in controller. The struct
intr_map_data itself is meant to be opaque for INTRNG.
(2) An intr_map_irq() function is created which takes an interrupt
controller identification and struct intr_map_data as arguments and
returns global interrupt number which identifies an interrupt.
(3) A set of functions to be used by bus drivers is created as well as
a corresponding set of methods for interrupt controller drivers. These
sets take both struct resource and struct intr_map_data as one of the
arguments. There is a goal to keep struct intr_map_data in struct
resource, however, this way a final solution is not limited to that.
(4) Other small changes are done to reflect new situation.
This is only first step aiming to create stable interface for interrupt
controller drivers. Thus, some temporary solution is taken. Interrupt
descriptions for devices are stored in INTRNG and two specific mapping
function are created to be temporary used by bus drivers. That's why
the struct intr_map_data is not opaque for INTRNG now. This temporary
solution will be replaced by final one in next step.
