Change is mostly done via a Coccinelle (soon to be devel/coccinelle)

queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

This brings hwpmc(4) support for 2nd and 3rd generation XScale cores.
Right now it's enabled by default to make sure we test this a bit.
When the time comes it can be disabled by default.
Tested on Gateworks boards.
A man page is coming.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

driver's i/o ops must be locked to avoid chaos. Extend the cambria
bus tag to support ata and add a spin lock. The ata driver is
hacked to use that instead of it's builtin hack for ixp425. Once
the ata driver is fixed to not be confused about byte order we can
generalize the cambria bus tag code and make it generally useful.
While here take advantage of our being ixp435-specific to remove
delays when switching between byte+word accesses and to eliminate
the 2us delay for the uarts (the spin lock overhead looks to do
this for us).
used for the optional GPS+RS485 uarts on the Gateworks Cambria boards
which otherwise are unreliable
o setup the hack bus space tag for the GPS+RS485 uarts
o program the gpio interrupts for the uarts to be edge-rising
o force timing on the expansion bus for the uarts to be "slow"
Thanks to Chris Lang of Gateworks for these tips.
causes both to become inoperative; this apparently was done by the original
IAL code as a workaround for IMEM parity errors which we've not seen so
just disable the reset.
Note this problem does not occur on IXP425 boards. The linux driver does
fuse-resets on each NPE but in the order NPE-A < NPE-B < NPE-C (when probing
for which NPE's are present/operational); we may want to switch to a similar
scheme but for now disable the resets until we see an issue.
normally taken from the hints file so this should have no effect
o set the port address "just in case"
o add NPE-A support to the tx done qmgr callback
the implementation can guarantee forward progress in the event of
a stuck interrupt or interrupt storm. This is especially critical
for fast interrupt handlers, as they can cause a hard hang in that
case. When first called, arm_get_next_irq() is passed -1.

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

operate on the resource (we have no local resources to manage); this
fixes drivers that alloc/release resources in their probe method and
then do it again in attach
o while here add some prints to catch failures and massage style a bit
o encode need for A4 bus space tag hackery according to the memory
address; checking for "uart" breaks down with the GPS chip support
which is also a uart but does not require the same hackery
o encode the correct memory window instead of carving up all of i/o
space, potentially with a larger window than a device should have;
this likely should be handled in the drivers by using a proper bus
alloc call but since some drivers depend on the bus support to figure
this out we cannot simply mod them
o add optional GPS and RS485 support (conditionally as the support
isn't ready yet)
o improves understandability by replacing numerous relative address
calculations with fixed addresses; everything should now match up
more easily with the vm layout shown at the top of the file
o move the expansion bus chip select regions to be contiguous with
the expansion bus configuration area; this is not exploited right
now but allows map consolidation in the future
o leave a gap between the expansion bus regions and the pci config
space in case we want to map more exp bus cs regions
