so there's no need to enable the RX of invalid frames just to do ANI.
The if_ath code and AR5212 ANI code setup the RX filter bits to enable
receiving OFDM/CCK errors if the device doesn't have the hardware
MIB counters. It isn't initialising it for the AR5416+ because all of
those chips have hardware MIB counters.
This fixes the odd (and performance affecting!) situation where if ani
is enabled (via sysctl dev.ath.X.intmit) then suddenly there's be a very
large volume of phy errors - which is good to track, but not what was
intended. Since each PHY error is a received (0 length) frame, it can
significantly tie up the RX side of things.
equal to secondary counters:
primary_localcnt = secondary_remotecnt
primary_remotecnt = secondary_localcnt
Previously it was done wrong and split-brain was observed after
primary had synchronized up-to-date data from secondary.

This (almost) gives us the address space back (at the bottom) that we lost
at the top.
Region 0 has traditionally been reserved for IA-32 emulation, which has not
been of great interest. By starting 64-bit processes at the 4G boundary we
at least preserve some of the advantages:
1. Any invalid pointer cast (from int to pointer and back) will still
always fail and not only when more than 4GB of memory is in use.
2. Memory sharing between 64-bit and 32-bit processes is still possibly
by using addresses < 4G.
It's still not ready for prime-time - there's some TX niggles with these 11n
cards that I'm still trying to wrap my head around, and AMPDU-TX is just not
implemented so things will come to a crashing halt if you're not careful.
"extended capabilities" to refer to the new set of capability structures
starting at offset 0x100 in config space for PCI-express devices. For now
both function names will still work. I will merge this to older branches
to ease driver portability, but 9.0 will ship with a new pci_find_extcap()
function that locates extended capabilities instead.

This fix modifies the const addac initval array, rather than modifying
a local copy. It means that running >1 AR9160 on a board may prove to
be unpredictable.
The AR5416 init path also does something similar, so supporting
>1 AR5416 of different revisions could cause problems.
The later fix will be to create a private copy of the Addac data
for the AR5416, AR9160 (and AR9100 when it's merged in) and then
modify that as needed.

I found this when trying to figure out why the RX PHY error count
didn't match the OFDM error count ANI was using. It turns out
there was two problems:
* What this commit addresses - using the wrong mask for OFDM errors,
and
* The RX filter is set incorrectly after a channel scan (at least)
even if interference mitigation is enabled by default.
ANI is still disabled by default for the AR5416 and later chips.

- Eliminate the fully linear non-scatter/gather rx path, there is no
harm in using arrays of clusters for both TCP and UDP.
- Implement support for enabling/disabling per-vlan priority pause and
queues via sysctl.

We can use capsicum for secondary worker processes and hastctl.
When working as primary we drop privileges using chroot+setgid+setuid
still as we need to send ioctl(2)s to ggate device, for which capsicum
doesn't allow (yet).
X-MFC after: capsicum is merged to stable/8
value is updated after that we read it in the queue-head. This patch can
fix problems with BULK timeouts. The issue was found on a Nvidia chipset.

services or PAL procedures. The new implementation is based on
specific functions that are known to be called in certain scenarios
only. This in particular fixes the PAL call to obtain information
about translation registers. In general, the new implementation does
not bank on virtual addresses being direct-mapped and will work when
the kernel uses PBVM.
When new scenarios need to be supported, new functions are added if
the existing functions cannot be changed to handle the new scenario.
If a single generic implementation is possible, it will become clear
in due time.
While here, change bootinfo to a pointer type in anticipation of
future development.
our info about worker processes if any of them was terminated in the meantime.
This fixes the problem with 'hastctl status' running from a hook called on
split-brain:
1. Secondary calls a hooks and terminates.
2. Hook asks for resource status via 'hastctl status'.
3. The main hastd handles the status request by sending it to the secondary
worker who is already dead, but because signals weren't checked yet he
doesn't know that and we get EPIPE.
