header parser uses m_pullup(9) to get access to mbuf chain.
m_pullup(9) can allocate new mbuf chain and free old one if the
space left in the mbuf chain is not enough to hold requested
contiguous bytes. Previously drivers can use stale ip/tcp header
pointer if m_pullup(9) returned new mbuf chain.

port such that reading station address from second port always
returned 0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF:0xFF Unfortunately it seems there
is no easy way to know whether SROM is shared or not. Workaround
the issue by traversing dc(4) device list and see whether we're
using second port and use station address of controller 0 as base
station address of second port.

auto polling such that it made all controllers obtain link status
information from the state of the LNKRDY input signal. Broadcom
recommends disabling auto polling such that driver should rely on
PHY interrupts for link status change indications. Unfortunately it
seems some controllers(BCM5703, BCM5704 and BCM5705) have PHY
related issues so Linux took other approach to workaround it.
bge(4) didn't follow that and it used to enable auto polling to
workaround it. Restore this old behavior for BCM5700 family
controllers and BCM5705 to use auto polling. For BCM5700 and
BCM5701, it seems it does not need to enable auto polling but I
restored it for safety.

- correct the ethernet payload remainder which
must be post-offseted by -14 bytes instead of
0 bytes. This is not very clearly defined in the
NCM specification.
- add development feature about limiting the
maximum datagram count in each NCM payload.
- zero-pad alignment data
- add TX-interval tuning sysctl

Link UP state could be reported first before actual completion of

receive producer ring only for BCM5700. It was believed that
BCM5700 with external SSRAM is the only controller that supports
mini ring but it seems all BCM570[0-4] requires to disable mini
receive producer ring. Otherwise, it caused unexpected RX DMA
error or watchdog timeouts.

Short description of the changes:
- attempt to retry some commands for which it is possible (read, query)
- always make a short sleep before checking EC status in polled mode
- periodically poll EC status in interrupt mode
- change logic for detecting broken interrupt delivery and falling back
to polled mode
- check that EC is ready for input before starting a new command, wait
if necessary

before setting the flag, interrupt was already enabled such that
interrupt handler could be run before setting IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag.
This can lose initial link state change interrupt which in turn
make bge(4) think that it still does not have valid link. Fix this
race by protecting the taskqueue with a driver lock.
While I'm here move reenabling interrupt code after handling of link
state chage.

Previously bge(4) always enabled auto polling for non-BGE_FLAG_TBI
controllers. With this change, auto polling is not used anymore so
polling through mii(4) was introduced.

It seems axe(4) controllers support interrupt endpoint such that
enabling interrupt endpoint generates about 1000 interrupts/sec.
Controllers transfer 8 bytes data through interrupt endpoint and
the data include link UP/DOWN state as well as some PHY related
information. Previously axe(4) didn't use the transferred data and
didn't even try to read the data. Because axe(4) counts on mii(4)
to detect link state changes there is no need to use interrupt
endpoint here.
This change fixes generation of unnecessary interrupts which was
seen when interface is brought to UP.

functionality in drivers or the 802.3 layer.
For now, restore a reminder message for a missing rum_update_mcast, but

controller, but make it optional.
After a problem report from Andrew Boyer, it looks like the LSI
chip may have issues (the watchdog timer fired) if too many aborts
are sent down to the chip at the same time. We know that task
management commands are serialized, and although the manual doesn't
say it, it may be a good idea to just send one at a time.
But, since I'm not certain that this is necessary, add a tunable
and sysctl variable (hw.mps.%d.allow_multiple_tm_cmds) to control
the driver's behavior.
mps.c: Add support for the sysctl and tunable, and add a
comment about the possible return values to
mps_map_command().
mps_sas.c: Run all task management commands through two new
routines, mpssas_issue_tm_request() and
mpssas_complete_tm_request().
This allows us to optionally serialize task
management commands. Also, change things so that
the response to a task management command always
comes back through the callback. (Before it could
come via the callback or the return value.)
mpsvar.h: Add softc variables for the list of active task
management commands, the number of active commands,
and whether we should allow multiple active task
management commands. Add an active command flag.
mps.4: Describe the new sysctl/loader tunable variable.

as 5788. This caused BGE_MISC_LOCAL_CTL register is used to
generate link state change interrupt for non-5788 controllers. The
interrupt handler may or may not detect link state attention as
status block wouldn't be updated when an interrupt was generated
with BGE_MISC_LOCAL_CTL register. All controllers except 5700 and
5788 should use host coalescing mode register to trigger an
interrupt.
versions of controller support different number of ring control
blocks such that adjust code a bit to access known number of
send/receive ring control blocks. Previously bge(4) blindly
accessed 16 send/receive RCBs. Also move initializing standard
receive producer ring producer index, jumbo receive producer ring
producer index and mini receive producer ring producer index to
the end of each receive producer ring initialization.
Do not assume mini receive producer ring is available only when
controller has jumbo frame capability, instead explicitly check
ASIC version BCM5700 to disable mini receive producer ring.
Additionally always enable send ring 0 regardless of controller
versions. Previously bge(4) didn't enable send ring 0 if controller
is BGE_IS_5705_PLUS. Becase bge(4) need 1 send ring to send frames
at least, I have no idea how it would have worked so far.
