- Use the appropriate register writing method when reseting the chip
- Program the descriptor DMA engine correctly.
- More reliably detect certain chips and their features.
Also add some low-level debugging tools to help future work on this driver.

_thr_ucond_broadcast, clear condition variable pointer in cancellation
info after returing from _thr_ucond_wait, since kernel has already
dropped the internal lock, so we don't need to unlock it in cancellation
handler again.
This is easy to reproduce for EROFS. I am not sure if the attrs can be corrupt
for other NFS error responses. For now, disabling wcc pre-op attr checks and
post-op attr loads on NFS errors (sysctl'ed).

- Correct RX packet drop counter for BCM5705+. This register is read/clear
and it wraps very quickly under heavy packet drops because only the lower
ten bits are valid according to the documentation. However, it seems few
more bits are actually valid and the rest bits are always zeros[1].
Therefore, we don't mask them off here. To get accurate packet drop count,
we need to check the register from bge_rxeof(). It is commented out for now,
not to penalize normal operation. Actual performance impact should be
measured later.
- Correct integer casting from u_long to uint32_t. Casting is not really
needed for all supported platforms but we better do this correctly[2].

o Remove unused static global variable e1000phy_debug.
o Take advantage of mii_phy_dev_probe().
o Use MII_ANEGTICKS/MII_ANEGTICKS_GIGE instead of magic number 5.
o Add IFM_NONE as e1000phy(4) supports it without issues.
o Nuke magic PHY programming sequence in PHY reset and follow correct
reset sequence. [1]
o Make manual media selection work for all supported media types.
o Don't set MIIF_NOISOLATE so e1000phy(4) can be used in
configurations with multiple PHYs.
o In 1000baseT, when setting the link manually, one side must be the
master and the other the slave. If LINK0 is set, program the PHY
to be a master, otherwise it's a slave.
o When we lost a link, reset mii_ticks immediately so it correctly
check number of seconds elapsed in autonegotiation phase.
o Announce link loss right after it happens.
o After kicking autonegotiation, report PHY status instead of
returning immediatly.
o When link state check is in progress, check auto negotiation
completion bit only when auto negotiation is enbaled.
o When PHY is resolved to a master, show it with IFM_FLAG2.
Special thanks to marius who fixed several nits in original patch.
In half-duplex mode, nfe(4) fails to send packets. I think it's a bug
in nfe(4) as the same PHY works without problems on msk(4).

Fixing the IP accounting issue, if we plan to do so, needs to be better
thought out; the 'fix' introduces a hash lookup and a possible kernel panic.

Either they're there early and the ispfw sets have
registered themselves, or they're not.
The module dependency stuff isn't quite what we want
anyway. If the user doesn't want the load placed on
system memory by loading the firmware, they don't
specify it to be loaded (either by being linked in
or via being a module to be loaded and then hooked
in with firmware(9)). It doesn't then make sense to
then override what they want by pulling it in anyway.
This might be able to work if we were able to pull in
just exactly what we needed for the card we have- but
that's an optimization left for the future.
at which the kernel should start allocating physical memory. The primary
purpose of this is to test 64-bit cleanness of the data path by setting
hw.physmemstart=4G so that all physical allocations are above 4GB. AMD64
and i386/PAE could also benefit from having this option.
