- remove mbuf iovec - useful, but adds too much complexity when isolated to
the driver
- remove driver private caching - insufficient benefit over UMA to justify
the added complexity and maintenance overhead
- remove separate logic for managing multiple transmit queues, with the
new drbr routines the control flow can be made to much more closely resemble
legacy drivers
- remove dedicated service threads, with per-cpu callouts one can get the same
benefit much more simply by registering a callout 1 tick in the future if there
are still buffered packets
- remove embedded mbuf usage - Jeffr's changes will (I hope) soon be integrated
greatly reducing the overhead of using kernel APIs for reference counting
clusters
- add hysteresis to descriptor coalescing logic
- add coalesce threshold sysctls to allow users to decide at run-time
between optimizing for forwarding / UDP or optimizing for TCP
- add once per second watchdog to effectively close the very rare races
occurring from coalescing
- incorporate Navdeep's changes to the initialization path required to
convert port and adapter locks back to ordinary mutexes (silencing BPF
LOR complaints)
- enable prefetches in get_packet and tx cleaning

DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).
Thanks to marcel@ for providing a Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE)
card which was vital for getting this driver to work on architectures
not using Open Firmware.

The use of better polynomial interpolator will raise

better) with previous settings.

coefficients quality:
- Linear interpolator for oversampling factor larger and equal
than 4096 (log2 = 12).
- Quadratic interpolator for oversampling factor larger and equal
than 256 (log2 = 8).
Default oversampling factor (128 ~ log2 = 7) will use OPT32X, which
provides better accuracy.
Characters between 0x07 and 0x0d are now also mapped, which means we can
display almost 256 different characters. Also remap certain types of
dashes and quotes, which means we can finally read our manual pages
without red question marks in them.

that the terminal emulator is perfectly capable of handling UTF-8. This
will of course break if the user loads a different font map, but it at
least allows people to give it a try.

- Preallocate some memory for ACPI tasks early enough. We cannot use
malloc(9) any more because spin mutex may be held here. The reserved
memory can be tuned via debug.acpi.max_tasks tunable or ACPI_MAX_TASKS

This implementation is not the fastest in the world but we are being

controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.
