the firmware (instead of just the main firmware version) when evaluating
firmware compatibility. Document the new "hw.cxgbe.fw_install" knob
being introduced here.
This should fix kern/173584 too. Setting hw.cxgbe.fw_install=2 will
mostly do what was requested in the PR but it's a bit more intelligent
in that it won't reinstall the same firmware repeatedly if the knob is
left set.

- Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate
when not attached to the chip as the master driver.
- Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and
ofld tx queues.
- Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any
kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table).
- A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware
to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory
("memdump" and "tcb" commands).
- Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is
primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a.
- Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip.
- Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed.
- Updates to the shared code in common/
- Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0)
