requiring DC_TX_ALIGN or DC_TX_COALESCE, which was previously done
in dc_start_locked(), into dc_encap().
o In dc_encap():
- If m_defrag() fails just drop the packet like other NIC drivers
do. This should only happen when there's a mbuf shortage, in which
case it was possible to end up with an IFQ full of packets which
couldn't be processed as they couldn't be defragmented as they
were taking up all the mbufs themselves. This includes adjusting
dc_start_locked() to not trying to prepend the mbuf (chain) if
dc_encap() has freed it.
- Likewise, if bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() fails as dc_dma_map_txbuf()
failed, free the mbuf possibly allocated by the above call to
m_defrag() and drop the packet.
o In dc_txeof():
- Don't clear IFF_DRV_OACTIVE unless there are at least 6 free TX
descriptors. Further down the road dc_encap() will bail if there
are only 5 or fewer free TX descriptors, causing dc_start_locked()
to abort and prepend the dequeued mbuf again so it makes no sense
to pretend we could process mbufs again when in fact we won't.
While at it replace this magic 5 with a macro DC_TX_LIST_RSVD.
- Just always assign idx to sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_cons; it doesn't
make much sense to exclude the idx == sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_cons
case.
o In dc_dma_map_txbuf() there's no need to set sc->dc_cdata.dc_tx_err
to error if the latter is != 0, bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() already
returns the same error value in that case anyway.
o For less overhead, convert to use bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() for
loading RX buffers.
o Remove some banal and/or outdated comments.

message explained why the size is 1 sector, but the code used a
size of 1 cluster.
I/o sizes larger than necessary may cause serious coherency problems
in the buffer cache. Here I think there were only minor efficiency
problems, since a too-large fsinfo buffer could only get far enough
to overlap buffers for the same vnode (the device vnode), so mappings
are coherent at the page level although not at the buffer level, and
the former is probably enough due to our limited use of the fsinfo
buffer.

cpu_start_mp(). This is after we have read the cpuid registers to
calculate the hyperthreading_cpus value for the sysctl that enables or
disables hyperthread cores. Change mp_topology() to use that information
rather than trying to do it itself.
This solves the problem of ULE being incorrectly told that dual core
Athlon64 X2 or Operton cpus are hyperthreading cores. At the very least,
we now have a single piece of code to identify hyperthreading.

communicate with another private port.
All unicast/broadcast/multicast layer2 traffic is blocked so it works much the
same way as using firewall rules but scales better and is generally easier as
firewall packages usually do not allow ARP blocking.
An example usage would be having a number of customers on separate vlans
bridged with a server network. All the vlans are marked private, they can all
communicate with the server network unhindered, but can not exchange any
traffic whatsoever with each other.

be in ticks "for algorithm stability" when originally committed, it turns
out that it has a significant impact in timing out connections. When we
changed HZ from 100 to 1000, this had a big effect on reducing the time
before dropping connections.
To demonstrate, boot with kern.hz=100. ssh to a box on local ethernet
and establish a reliable round-trip-time (ie: type a few commands).
Then unplug the ethernet and press a key. Time how long it takes to
drop the connection.
The old behavior (with hz=100) caused the connection to typically drop
between 90 and 110 seconds of getting no response.
Now boot with kern.hz=1000 (default). The same test causes the ssh session
to drop after just 9-10 seconds. This is a big deal on a wifi connection.
With kern.hz=1000, change sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min from 3 to 30.
Note how it behaves the same as when HZ was 100. Also, note that when
booting with hz=100, net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min *used* to be 30.
This commit changes TCPTV_MIN to be scaled with hz. rexmit_min should
always be about 30. If you set hz to Really Slow(TM), there is a safety
feature to prevent a value of 0 being used.
This may be revised in the future, but for the time being, it restores the
old, pre-hz=1000 behavior, which is significantly less annoying.
As a workaround, to avoid rebooting or rebuilding a kernel, you can run
"sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30" and add "net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30"
to /etc/sysctl.conf. This is safe to run from 6.0 onwards.

Fix backward compatibility of the "old" (i.e. FreeBSD6) lseek
syscall. It was broken when a new lseek syscall was introduced.
The problem is that we need to swap the 32-bit td_retval values
for the __syscall indirect syscall when the actual syscall has
a 32-bit return value. Hence, we need to exclude lseek(2). And
this means the "old" lseek(2) as well -- which we didn't.
