- invert sense of hw.cxgb.singleq tunable to hw.cxgb.multiq
- don't wake up transmitting thread by default
- add per tx queue ifaltq to handle ALTQ
- remove several unused functions in cxgb_multiq.c
- add several sysctls: multiq_tx_enable, coalesce_tx_enable,
and wakeup_tx_thread
- this obsoletes the hw.cxgb.snd_queue_len as ifq is replaced
by a buf_ring
and ifnet functions
- add memory barriers to <machine/atomic.h>
- update drivers to only conditionally define their own
- add lockless producer / consumer ring buffer
- remove ring buffer implementation from cxgb and update its callers
- add if_transmit(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m) to ifnet to
allow drivers to efficiently manage multiple hardware queues
(i.e. not serialize all packets through one ifq)
- expose if_qflush to allow drivers to flush any driver managed queues
This work was supported by Bitgravity Inc. and Chelsio Inc.
1) Fix a bug in dealing with the Alerus 1006 PHY which prevented the
device from ever coming back up once it had been set to down.
2) Add a kernel tunable (hw.cxgb.snd_queue_len) which makes it possible
to give the device more than IFQ_MAXLEN entries in its send queue. The
default remains 50.
3) Add code to place the card'd identification and serial number into
its description (%desc) so that users can tell which card they have
installed.
for virtualization.
Instead of initializing the affected global variables at instatiation,
assign initial values to them in initializer functions. As a rule,
initialization at instatiation for such variables should never be
introduced again from now on. Furthermore, enclose all instantiations
of such global variables in #ifdef VIMAGE_GLOBALS blocks.
Essentialy, this change should have zero functional impact. In the next
phase of merging network stack virtualization infrastructure from
p4/vimage branch, the new initialization methology will allow us to
switch between using global variables and their counterparts residing in
virtualization containers with minimum code churn, and in the long run
allow us to intialize multiple instances of such container structures.

from the vimage project, as per plan established at devsummit 08/08:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Image/Notes200808DevSummit
Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.
Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().
Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).
All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).

but an RW mapping exists for the underlying page. This change fixes the bug by using the
page / NULL returned from pmap_extract_and_hold to determine whether or not vm_fault needs
to be called.
The bug was pointed out by alc.

years by the priv_check(9) interface and just very few places are left.
Note that compatibility stub with older FreeBSD version
(all above the 8 limit though) are left in order to reduce diffs against
old versions. It is responsibility of the maintainers for any module, if
they think it is the case, to axe out such cases.
This patch breaks KPI so __FreeBSD_version will be bumped into a later
commit.
This patch needs to be credited 50-50 with rwatson@ as he found time to
explain me how the priv_check() works in detail and to review patches.

virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).
This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.
