little-endian for now.
with the additional property that it is safe for routines in libc to use
in both single-threaded and multi-threaded processes. Multi-threaded
processes use the pthread_once() implementation from the threading library
while single-threaded processes use a simplified "stub" version internal
to libc. The libc stub-version of pthread_once() now also uses the
simplified "stub" version as well instead of being a nop.

The token is arbitrary. For the drummers: it's based on a single

offset could be changed if additional PCI capabilities are added to
controller.
One odd thing is ET_PCIR_L0S_L1_LATENCY register. I think it's PCIe
link capabilities register but the location of the register does
not match with PCIe capability pointer + offset. I'm not sure it's
shadow register of PCIe link capabilities register.

- Fix some issues in detach for sn(4), ste(4), and ti(4). Primarily this
means calling ether_ifdetach() before anything else.
- Reorder detach so that ether_ifdetach() is called first. This removes
the race that ATE_FLAG_DETACHING closed, so that flag can be removed.
- Trim a duplicate clearing of IFF_DRV_RUNNING.

- Overhaul the locking to avoid recursion and add missing locking in a few
places.
- Don't schedule a task to call vge_start() from contexts that are safe to
call vge_start() directly. Just invoke the routine directly instead
(this is what all of the other NIC drivers I am familiar with do). Note
that vge(4) does not use an interrupt filter handler which is the primary
reason some other drivers use tasks.
- Add a new private timer to drive the watchdog timer instead of using
if_watchdog and if_timer.
- Fixup detach by calling ether_ifdetach() before stopping the interface.
just two different attachments (EISA and PCI) to a single driver.
- Add real locking. Previously these drivers only acquired their lock
in their interrupt handler or in the ioctl routine (but too broadly in
the latter). No locking was used for the stack calling down into the
driver via if_init() or if_start(), for device shutdown or detach. Also,
the interrupt handler held the driver lock while calling if_input(). All
this stuff should be fixed in the locking changes.
- Really fix these drivers to handle if_alloc(). The front-end attachments
were using if_initname() before the ifnet was allocated. Fix this by
moving some of the duplicated logic from each driver into pdq_ifattach().
While here, make pdq_ifattach() return an error so that the driver just
fails to attach if if_alloc() fails rather than panic'ing. Also, defer
freeing the ifnet until the driver has stopped using it during detach.
- Add a new private timer to drive the watchdog timer.
- Pass the softc pointer to the interrupt handlers instead of the device_t
so we can avoid the use of device_get_softc() and to better match what
other drivers do.
auto-negotiation. To make this simpler and easier to understand I have
split this out into two separate timers. One just manages the auto-neg
side of things and one is a transmit watchdog. Neither uses if_watchdog.
- Call ether_ifdetach() at the start of detach.
- Add a missing callout_drain() to detach.
- Hook into the stats timer and use that to drive the transmit watchdog
instead of using if_watchdog.
- Run the stats timer every second to match other drivers instead of every
other second.
- Remove dubious callout handling that stopped the timer only to start it
again while holding the driver lock without dropping it in between the
stop and the start.
