669f23dee5 Update mxge(4) firmware to 1.4.48b (latest available) from Myricom.
Pertinant highlights from Myricom CHANGES file include:

- Make sure invalid external smbus activity cannot affect performance
- Fix to avoid a bug where the link could sometimes stay reported as
   up on after unplugging the cable.
- For 8B NIC, make smbus connection passive at init to avoid
   possible address conflicts
- Increase number of slices to 17 for multi-slice fw
- Fix a bug where packets dropped because of link_overflow could
     be occasionally reported as bad_crc32
- Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup
- On failover, send RARP broadcast to make the change immediately
  known to the network
- Change endianess for PCI Device Serial Number
- For dual-port NICs, time to failover is now a few microsecs
    instead of a few millisecs.

f9298d3901 Update mxge firmware from 1.4.39 to 1.4.43. Changes include:
- Support for 10G-PCIE*-8B*-C (dual-port CX4)  NICs
- For dual-port NICs, f/w failover is now a few microsecs
    instead of a few millisecs.
-  On failover, f/w sends RARP broadcast to make the change
   immediately known to the network
- Fixed a bug observed on IBM X3 architecture where
   some spurious ecrc errors would be reported when OS enabled
   ecrc support.

016385508f Better support for recent Myricom 10GbE NICs
- Update to firmware 1.4.39 for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx)
  support, and SFP+ i2c support

- Identify newer "B" NICs (10G-PCIEx-8B-x) correctly, rather than
  mis-identifying them as "A" NICs (cosmetic only)

- Identify the IFM_10G_LRM ifmedia type, where applicable.

- Identify ifmedia types for SFP+ based NICs

- Update copyright

9e6287bf10 Update to Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.36.
This update fixes a transmit bug in the multi-queue (MSI-X) firmware
which happens when RDMAs complete out of order, and provides
improved support for the new Myri10GE NIC models (10G-PCIE-8Bx)

88843c5481 Update to Myri10GE firmware version 1.4.33 from 1.4.29. Relevant changes include:
- Support for Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B NICs

- multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
 64-bit DMA addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
 slices.

- Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e

93143d572a Fix accidental swap of "const" for "static" in mxge firmware byte arrays
caused by running my import script with the wrong args.

7e8305464a Update to firmware version 1.4.29 from 1.4.25. Relevant changes include:
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.20 where speculative read by the processor in the
   write-only doorbell region would cause a target-abort (as opposed to simply
   returning random data). This could manifest itself as NMI or machine freeze
   depending on how the BIOS/OS/chipset configuration handles target-abort.

- Add support for new revisions of -R cards (with AEL1002/AEL1010 xaui->xfi)

- Increase an internal timing (dispatch engine): fix possible spurious reset
  (seen on very few cards).

c587e59f20 - Fix a bug which could cause a panic when enabling LRO
on an down mxge interface
- Fix a bug where mxge reported the link state as
   active when it wasn't (after ifconfig down).
- Prevent spurious watchdog resets when link partner is not consuming
- Add support for CX4 and popular XFP media detection
- Update the firmware and associated header files to 1.4.25

f9ae02802f - Enable static building of mxge(4) and its firmware.
- Add custom .c wrappers for the firmware, rather than the standard
  firmware(9) generated firmware objects to work around toolchain
  problems on ia64 involving linking objects produced by
  ld -b -binary into the kernel.

- Move from using Myricom's ".dat" firmware blobs to using Myricom's
  zlib compressed ".h" firmware header files.  This is done to
  facilitate the custom wrappers, and saves a fair amount of wired
  memory in the case where the firmware is built in, or preloaded.

- Fix two compile issues in mxge which only appear on non-i386/amd64.
