The check for dropping unicast packets not sent to our ethernet
address is after the bpf tap, but not conditioned on it. All packets
received should get handed to bpf, and unicast packets not to us (mac)
should get dropped whether or not there is a bpf listener. I believe
that the common optimization that the interface is in hw promisc mode
iff there is a bpf listener is in general wrong, but more frequently
so on wavelans.
I think Max's fix makes bpf listeners not see unicast packets sent to
others, but I'm not sure.
One can argue that checking on MOD_ENAL is wrong, but the code only
drops packets that shouldn't be received. The correctness condition
is that it be run whenever unicast packets without our mac address can
be received.

and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels

DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct

DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives

- Call isa_dmadone() whenever necessary to stop DMA and/or free bounce
buffers. Undead DMA corrupted the malloc freelist fairly consistently
in the following configuration: SLICE kernel, 2 floppy drives, no disk
in fd0, disk in fd1.
- Don't call fdc_reset() from fd_timeout(). Doing so gave an "extra"
interrupt which was usually misinterpreted as being for completion
of the next FDC command; the interrupt for completion of the next
FDC command was then usually misinterpreted... There were further
complications for interrupts latched by the soft-spl mechanism so
that they were delivered after all the h/w interrupts went away.
This caused at least wrong head settle delays and may be why the
FreeBSD floppy driver seems to munch floppies more than most floppy
drivers. The reset was unnecessary anyway in cases that didn't have
the bug described next, since is was repeated a little later for
the IOTIMEDOUT state. The state machine has complications to handle
resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]
Cleanups in fd_timeout():
- Renamed to fd_iotimeout() to make it clearer that it is only used
for i/o.
- Don't handle the bp == 0 case. This case can't happen for i/o.
- Don't check for controller-busy. We know it must be.
- Don't print anything. retrier() already prints too much for normal
errors.
- Fudge the state differently so that the state machine advances
fdc->retry and the status is invalid (perhaps this should fudge a
valid state like the one for WP).
- Style fixes.
