It turns out that getting decent performance requires stacking the TX
FIFO a little more aggressively.
* Ensure that when we complete a frame, we attempt to push a new frame
into the FIFO so TX is kept as active as it needs to be
* Be more aggressive about batching non-aggregate frames into a single
TX FIFO slot. This "fixes" TDMA performance (since we only get one
TX FIFO slot ungated per DMA beacon alert) but it does this by pushing
a whole lot of work into the TX FIFO slot.
I'm not /entirely/ pleased by this solution, but it does fix a whole bunch
of corner case issues in the transmit side and fix TDMA whilst I'm at it.
I'll go revisit transmit packet scheduling in ath(4) post 11.

than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.
Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.
Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.
For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).
Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.

It was possible to use an invalid pointer to get the target ID value. To fix
this, initialize a local Target ID variable to an invalid value and change that
variable to a valid value only if the pointer to the Target ID is not NULL.
- No need to set the MPSSAS_SHUTDOWN flag because it's never used.

To prevent this, move check for done_ccb == NULL to before done_ccb is used in

This started showing up when doing lots of aggregate traffic. For TDMA it's
always no-ACK traffic and I didn't notice this, and I didn't notice it
when doing 11abg traffic as it didn't fail enough in a bad way to trigger
this.
This showed up as the fifo depth being < 0.
Eg:
Jun 19 09:23:07 gertrude kernel: ath0: ath_tx_edma_push_staging_list: queued 2 packets; depth=2, fifo depth=1
Jun 19 09:23:07 gertrude kernel: ath0: ath_edma_tx_processq: Q1, bf=0xfffffe000385f068, start=1, end=1
Jun 19 09:23:07 gertrude kernel: ath0: ath_edma_tx_processq: Q1: FIFO depth is now 0 (1)
Jun 19 09:23:07 gertrude kernel: ath0: ath_edma_tx_processq: Q1, bf=0xfffffe0003866fe8, start=0, end=1
Jun 19 09:23:07 gertrude kernel: ath0: ath_edma_tx_processq: Q1: FIFO depth is now -1 (0)
So, clear the flags before adding them to a TX queue, so if they're
re-added for the retransmit path it'll clear whatever they were and
not double-account the FIFOEND flag. Oops.

It turns out the frame scheduling policies (eg DBA_GATED) operate on
a single TX FIFO entry. ASAP scheduling is fine; those frames always
go out.
DBA-gated sets the TX queue ready when the DBA timer fires, which triggers
a beacon transmit. Normally this is used for content-after-beacon queue
(CABQ) work, which needs to burst out immediately after a beacon.
(eg broadcast, multicast, etc frames.) This is a general policy that you
can use for any queue, and Sam's TDMA code uses it.
When DBA_GATED is used and something like say, an 11e TX burst window,
it only operates on a single TX FIFO entry. If you have a single frame
per TX FIFO entry and say, a 2.5ms long burst window (eg TDMA!) then it'll
only burst a single frame every 2.5ms. If there's no gating (eg ASAP) then
the burst window is fine, and multiple TX FIFO slots get used.
The CABQ code does pack in a list of frames (ie, the whole cabq) but
up until this commit, the normal TX queues didn't. It showed up when
I started to debug TDMA on the AR9380 and later.
This commit doesn't fix the TDMA case - that's still broken here, because
all I'm doing here is allowing 'some' frames to be bursting, but I'm
certainly not filling the whole TX FIFO slot entry with frames.
Doing that 'properly' kind of requires me to take into account how long
packets should take to transmit and say, doing 1.5 or something times that
per TX FIFO slot, as if you partially transmit a slot, when it's next
gated it'll just finish that TX FIFO slot, then not advance to the next
one.
Now, I /also/ think queuing a new packet restarts DMA, but you have to
push new frames into the TX FIFO. I need to experiment some more with
this because if it's really the case, I will be able to do TDMA support
without the egregious hacks I have in my local tree. Sam's TDMA code
for previous chips would just kick the TXE bit to push along DMA
again, but we can't do that for EDMA chips - we /have/ to push a new
frame into the TX FIFO to restart DMA. Ugh.
