Fast-frames:
* include opt_wlan.h ; tsk to not doing it earlier;
* add a tx pending tracking counter for seeing how deep
the hardware TX queue is;
* add the frame aging code from if_ath;
* add fast-frames capability to the driver setup.
Bugs:
* free the buffers (and node references) before
detaching net80211 state. This prevents a use-after-free in
the node free path where we've destroyed net80211 underneath it.
field and into a separate fast-frames staging pointer in ieee80211_node.
The A-MPDU TX path allows txa_private to be used by drivers. So it will
clash with any attempt to use fast-frames. Now, fast-frames is not really
anything special - it's just a custom ethernet frame type that contains
two MSDUs into one MPDU. So all the NIC has to support doing is transmitting
up to a 4KiB frame with an arbitrary ethertype and bam! Fast-frames.
However, using txa_private means we can /either/ do fast-frames or A-MPDU TX,
so fast frames has been turned off in the Atheros HAL for 11n chipsets.
This is a bit silly - it actually means that 802.11 performance to/from
11abg Atheros chips is actually better than between an 11abg atheros device
and an 11n Atheros device.
So:
* create a new mbuf staging queue for fast frames. It only queues a single
frame in the staging queue (and there's a top-level ic staging queue
used for expiry/tracking) so it's just an mbuf pointer per TID.
* Still use the ampdu TX packet counter to determine whether to do
aggregation or not. It'll double count if we start doing both A-MPDU TX
and fast frames, but that's not all that important right now.
* Initialise the pps tracker so ticks isn't zero. This ensures that
fast-frames actually gets used - without it, the ticks math overflows
and the pps math always sets txa_pps=0. This is the same bug that
plagued A-MPDU TX starting logic.
This actually allows fast-frames transmit to occur between the AR9331
(in 11n HT/20 mode) and AR9170 (if_otus) in 11bg mode.
Now, this is a great big no-op on atheros 11n hardware, so don't worry.
It may mean you start seeing more reliable fast-frames transmission on
11abg hardware which may expose some more amusing bugs.
TODO:
* further testing and debugging of all of this before flipping on
fast-frames in if_ath (for 11n) and if_otus.
in the superg fast-frames code.
This harks back to an earlier commit (r280349) where I found that
initialising the pps code with ticks=0 would cause hilariously bad
hz ticks wraparound failures, leading to never actually aggregating
traffic. This is still true for the superg path and so I have to
do the same thing there.
This is a big no-op; a subsequent commit will flip this on so it
works with the fast-frames transmit path.
Tested:
* AR9170, otus(4) - STA mode, 11bg operation
* AR9331, AP mode

Initially function was introduced in r53541 (KAME initial commit) to
"provide hints from upper layer protocols that indicate a connection
is making "forward progress"" (quote from RFC 2461 7.3.1 Reachability
Confirmation).
However, it was converted to do nothing (e.g. just return) in r122922
(tcp_hostcache implementation) back in 2003. Some defines were moved
to tcp_var.h in r169541. Then, it was broken (for non-corner cases)
by r186119 (L2<>L3 split) in 2008 (NULL ifp in nd6_lookup). So,
right now this code is broken and has no "real" base users.

- Allow vfs_vmio_invalidate() to free the pages, leaving us with a
single loop and bufobj lock when B_NOCACHE/B_INVAL is used.
- Eliminate the special B_ASYNC handling on free that has not been
relevant for some time.
- Remove the extraneous page busy from vfs_vmio_truncate().

partially successful. Specifically, the vm object lock was not being
acquired before freeing the allocated pages. To address this bug, replace
the existing code by a call to kmem_unback().
Change the type of a variable in kmem_alloc_attr() so that an allocation

__bitcount(). The dependencies can be a header not specified by
POSIX, and then namespace restrictions by _XOPEN_SOURCE are not
applicable, as it was reported. Or, we might grow an implementation

Atheros.
Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a
(and so the TX rate control logic may be slightly wrong!) so if
you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
Tested:
* AR9170, TP-Link WN821N 2GHz.
TODO:
* Hook this up to a non-module build.
net80211 receive path. This allows drivers (notably USB right now, but
anything/everything!) to optionally defer bulk RX of 802.11 frames until
/outside/ of the driver lock(s), rather than doing:
UNLOCK(sc);
ieee80211_input*()
LOCK(sc);
.. which is really stupid.
The existing API is maintaned - if ieee80211_input() / ieee80211_input_all()
is called then the RSSI/NF values are used. If the MIMO versions are called
with a given rx status pointer then it's used. Else, it'll use whatever
is in the RX mbuf tag.
Revamp sbuf_put_byte() to sbuf_put_bytes() in the obvious fashion and
fixup callers.
Add a thin shim around sbuf_put_bytes() with the old ABI to avoid ugly
changes to some callers.
