There are some timing concerns which I've yet to fully map out.
In any case, there's an existing software driven mitigation method
for TX interrupts and when TX'ing 11n frames, the whole frame itself
generates an interrupt rather then the subframes.
Although I tried to fix this earlier by introducing HALDEBUG_G(), it
turns out there seem to be other cases where the pointer value is still
NULL.
* Fix DO_HALDEBUG() and the HALDEBUG macro to check whether ah is NULL
before deferencing it
* Remove HALDEBUG_G() as it's no longer needed
This is hopefully a merge candidate for 9.0-RELEASE as enabling
debugging at startup could result in a kernel panic.

rather than the whole beacon interval.
The reference driver and Linux ath9k both choose 80% of the
beacon interval and they do it in the driver rather than
the HAL (Ath reference) or ath9k_hw (ath9k.)
This quietens stuck beacon conditions on my AR9220/AR9280
based NICs when a lot of burst broadcast/multicast traffic
is going on. It doesn't seem to annoy the earlier MACs as
much as the AR9280 and later one.

local variable with a beacon interval of 100 TU. This never gets modified
if the beacon interval configuration changes.
This may have been correct in earlier times, but with the advent of
staggered beacons (which default to 1 / ATH_BCBUF beacon interval, so
25 TU here) this value is incorrect.
It is used to configure the default CABQ readytime. So here, the cabq
was being configured to be much greater than the target beacon timer
(TBTT.)
The driver should be configuring a cabq readytime value rather then
leaving it to the HAL to choose sensible defaults. This should be
done in the future - I'm simply trying to ensure sensible defaults
are chosen.

o In blkif_initialize(), fix a resource leak and botched

that our backend peer has published sufficient data for
blkfront to publish ring information and other XenStore

This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.
* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it.
This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.
* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they
likely now belong.
* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF.
The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor;
the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor.
* Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment
functions in ath_extend_tsf().
* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods.
ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.
According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA
stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic
stability which need to be investigated.
The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping;
this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the
timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

whenever the link state is changed. Using software based polling
for media status tracking is known to cause MII access failure
under certain conditions once link is established so vge(4) used to
rely on link status change interrupt.
However DEVICE_POLLING completely disables generation of all kind
of interrupts on vge(4) such that this resulted in not detecting
link state change event. This means vge(4) does not correctly
detect established/lost link with DEVICE_POLLING. Losing the
interrupt made vge(4) not to send any packets to peer since vge(4)
does not try to send any packets when there is no established link.
Work around the issue by generating link state change interrupt
with DEVICE_POLLING.

When the fast clock (44mhz) is enabled for 5ghz HT20, the
dual ADCs aren't enabled. Trying to do the ADC calibrations
here would result in calibration never completing; this
resulted in IQ calibration never running and thus performance
issues in 11a/11n HT20 mode.
Leave it enabled for non-fastclock (40mhz) 11a mode and
HT40 modes.
This has been fixed in discussion with Felix Fietkau (nbd)
and discussions with the Atheros baseband team.

The current code was rounding down the maximum frame size instead of
routing up, resulting in a read size of 1024 bytes, in the non-jumbo
frame case, and splitting the packets across multiple mbufs.
Consequently the above problem exposed another issue, which is when
packets were splitted across multiple mbufs, and all of the mbufs in the
chain have the M_PKTHDR flag set.

accessible:
(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
KDB is present in the kernel.
(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.
(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
above sysctls to enable those features by default. Current kernel
configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.
(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
individual device drivers into centralised KDB code. This has a
number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
interface to KDB to allow that to work.
GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

The AR5212 HAL didn't check this field; timers are enabled a different
way.
The AR5416 HAL however did, and since this field was uninitialised, it had
whatever was on the stack at the time. This lead to "unpredictable"
behaviour.
This allows TDMA to work on the AR5416 and later chipsets.
