bge_newbuf_std still has a bug for handling dma map load failure

In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag

Because of this we were not getting further interrupts for link state
changes, thus never went into iface UP state and thus could not transmit.
The only way out of this was an incoming packet generating an rx interrupt
and making us call into bge_link_upd.
Up to rev. 1.101, in bge_start_locked, we only returned instantly
if there was 'no link AND nothing queued for tx'. So with a packet queued
for tx, we hit the register scrubbing at the end of bge_start_locked
and were out fine. We simply lost a packet or two but got the interrupts
need to get into UP state.
With rev. 1.102 this was turned into 'if there is no link OR there is
nothing to send' (correct behaviour) and as long as there is no link
we never hit the register scrubbing and consequently never got the link UP.
What we do now is force an interrupt at the end of bge_ifmedia_upd_locked
so we will call bge_link_upd, clear the link state attention and get
further interrupts.
This helps to get the iface UP on an idle network or at least to get
it UP faster not depending on an rx intr anymore.
In case you could not get a DHCP lease or it took very long,
it was because of this.
It is unknown which chips are affected by this. ASIC rev. 0x2003 was the

At least the fiber cards should have been working fine.

been handled instead of when at least one descriptor was just handled.
For bge, it is normal to get a txeof when only a small fraction of the
queued tx descriptors have been handled, so the bug broke the watchdog
in a usual case.
- moved the synchronizing bus read to after the bus write for the first
interrupt ack so that it actually synchronizes everything necessary.
We were acking not only the status update that triggered the interrupt
together with any status updates that occurred before we got around
to the bus write for the ack, but also any status updates that occur
after we do the bus write but before the write reaches the device.
The corresponding race for the second interrupt ack resulted in
sometimes returning from the interrupt handler with acked but
unserviced interrupt events. Such events then remain unserviced
until further events cause another interrupt or the watchdog times
out.
The race was often lost on my 5705, apparently since my 5705 has broken
event coalescing which causes a status update for almost every packet,
so another status update is quite likely to occur while the interrupt
handler is running. Watchdog timeouts weren't very noticeable,
apparently because bge_txeof() has one of the usual bugs resetting the
watchdog.
- don't disable device interrupts while bge_intr() is running. Doing this
just had the side effects of:
- entering a device mode in which different coalescing parameters apply.
Different coalescing parameters can be used to either inhibit or
enhance the chance of getting another status update while in the
interrupt handler. This feature is useless with the current
organization of the interrupt handler but might be useful with a
taskqueue handler.
- giving a race for ack+reenable/return. This cannot be handled
by simply rearranging the order of bus accesses like the race for
ack+keepenable/entry. It is necessary to sync the ack and then
check for new events.
- taking longer, especially with the extra code to avoid the race on
ack+reenable/return.

Therefore, keep a count of how many packets we really added onto the tx
chain, and initiate a transmit only if the count is non-zero.
frames. BGE hardware with the rx alignment bug will still be handled by the
calls to m_adj() that already exist. m_adj() is probably better suited for
this task anyways. Just as with if_em, this saves a malloc + several locks
per packet and prevents unneeded data copying within busdma.
I have from Broadcom does not give much information on these devices,
so the Broadcom Linux driver was used for clues to what these chips
support. It turns out they are similar to the 5705 with the 5751
being the PCI-Express version and needing special work-arounds and
settings.
copper NICs, a link change event is posted whenever MII autopolling is
toggled off and on, which happens whenever someone calls
bge_miibus_readreg() or bge_miibus_writereg() to access the PHY
registers. This means anytime someone called the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl
on a bge interface, the link would reset. Even a simple "ifconfig bge0"
would do it, though other apps like dhclient or the PPPoE daemon could
trigger it as well. An obvious symptom of this problem is lots of
"bgeX: gigabit link up" messages appearing on the console for no
apparent reason.
Through experimentation, I determined that when a real link change
event occurs, the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL in the BGE_MI_MODE register
is always set, so now if we have a copper NIC and an link change
event occurs and the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL bit is clear, we ignore
the event.
Note that this does not apply to the original BCM5700 chip since we
use a different method for sensing link changes with that chip (the
status block method was broken), nor to fiber optic NICs since they
don't use the GMII PHY access registers.
(in particular, bge(4) hasn't supported rxcsum since if_bge.c#1.5)
Clean up some aspects of capabilities usage, i.e. stop using
if_hwassist to see whether we are doing offload now because if_hwassist
is for TCP/IP layer and it is subordinate to if_capenable.

mode. The 5704 apparently has some s00p3r s33kr1t registers for setting
the advertisement of pause frame ability (i.e flow control) when in
autoneg mode. If we don't set these registers correctly, we may not
be able to negotiate a proper link with some switches. (Symptom is that
the NIC reports the link as up (PCS synched) but no traffic can be
exchanged.)

of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo

reception of frames up to 1522 bytes in size rather than 1518.
Note that it is possible to work around this bug by doing:

prior to configuring any VLAN interfaces.
- 5705 doesn't support jumbo frames
- Statistics must be read from registers
- RX return ring must be capped at 512 entries
- Omit initialization of certain device blocks
- Acknowledge link change interrupts by setting the 'link changed'
bit in the status register (used to have no effect)
- Remember to toggle the MI completion bit too
- Set the mbuf low watermark differently (on-chip memory buffers,
not BSD mbufs)
- Don't enable Ethernet@WireSpeed feature for certain 5705 chip revs
- Add additional PCI IDs for 5705 and 5782 parts
- Add a forgotten 5704 PCI ID
