- Remove code to use the special wc_fifo. It has been disabled by default
in our other drivers as it actually slows down transmit by a small amount
- Dynamically determine the amount of space required for the rx_done
ring rather than hardcoding it.
- Compute the number of tx descriptors we are willing to transmit per
frame as the minimum of 128 or 1/4 the tx ring size.
- Fix a typo in the tx dma tag setup which could lead to unnecessary
defragging of TSO packets (and potentially even dropping TSO packets
due to EFBIG being returned).
- Add a counter to keep track of how many times we've needed to
defragment a frame. It should always be zero.
- Export new extended f/w counters via sysctl

- Update to the latest (1.4.18) f/w. This f/w introduces a new
receive mode which allows us to use FreeBSD's physically discontinuous
MJUM9BYTES clusters.
- Switch the driver from chaining MJUMPAGESIZE clusters to using
MJUM9BYTES clusters to avoid mbuf chaining overheads. Due to this
change, people running obsolete f/w images will be limited to an MTU of
PAGE_SIZE - 16.
- Add (disabled by default) support for Large Receive Offload.

adapter list still capable, but only PCI-E adapters are now enabled.
The user can enable older PCI-X or PCI adapters using ifconfig.
Secondly, Arthur Hartwig pointed out my MSI change was not working
correctly, changed to something that now does. Thanks Arthur.
There was also a fundamental bug in the 82575 MSIX code, the MSIX
registers had to be mapped, opps :)

the power_nodriver tunable is off. pci_cfg_save() already checks the
tunable internally, and no other callers of pci_cfg_save() check the
tunable.

- Updated firmware to latest release (v3.4.8) to fix TSO + jumbo frame lockup
- Added MSI (hw.bce.msi_enable) and TSO (hw.bce.tso_enable) sysctls
- Fixed kernel panic when MSI is used and module is unloaded
- Added several new debug routines
- Removed slack space for RX/TX chains since it only covers sloppy coding
- Fixed a potential problem when programming jumbo MTU size in hardware
- Various other comment changes

because on at least my dc based cards there's garbage in there. The
recent changes in the resource code appears to have unmasked this
problem... At least dc now probes/attaches better than it did before.
Also, we no longer need to write to the cfg for the other registers.
legacy codepath match the 82575, without this we were seeing bridging
fail on 82546 adapters. Secondly, I have limited TSO to PCI Express
adapters, I meant to do this and it got dropped in the earlier delta.
Next, I am dropping in the latest shared code from our development
team, consensus was that this should be done frequently, so I am :)
