It seems axe(4) controllers support interrupt endpoint such that
enabling interrupt endpoint generates about 1000 interrupts/sec.
Controllers transfer 8 bytes data through interrupt endpoint and
the data include link UP/DOWN state as well as some PHY related
information. Previously axe(4) didn't use the transferred data and
didn't even try to read the data. Because axe(4) counts on mii(4)
to detect link state changes there is no need to use interrupt
endpoint here.
This change fixes generation of unnecessary interrupts which was
seen when interface is brought to UP.

controller, but make it optional.
After a problem report from Andrew Boyer, it looks like the LSI
chip may have issues (the watchdog timer fired) if too many aborts
are sent down to the chip at the same time. We know that task
management commands are serialized, and although the manual doesn't
say it, it may be a good idea to just send one at a time.
But, since I'm not certain that this is necessary, add a tunable
and sysctl variable (hw.mps.%d.allow_multiple_tm_cmds) to control
the driver's behavior.
mps.c: Add support for the sysctl and tunable, and add a
comment about the possible return values to
mps_map_command().
mps_sas.c: Run all task management commands through two new
routines, mpssas_issue_tm_request() and
mpssas_complete_tm_request().
This allows us to optionally serialize task
management commands. Also, change things so that
the response to a task management command always
comes back through the callback. (Before it could
come via the callback or the return value.)
mpsvar.h: Add softc variables for the list of active task
management commands, the number of active commands,
and whether we should allow multiple active task
management commands. Add an active command flag.
mps.4: Describe the new sysctl/loader tunable variable.

A new function prep_devname() sanitizes a device name by removing
leading and redundant sequential slashes. The function returns an error
for names which already exist or are considered invalid.
A new flag MAKEDEV_CHECKNAME for make_dev_p(9) and make_dev_credf(9)
indicates that the caller is prepared to handle an error related to the

versions of controller support different number of ring control
blocks such that adjust code a bit to access known number of
send/receive ring control blocks. Previously bge(4) blindly
accessed 16 send/receive RCBs. Also move initializing standard
receive producer ring producer index, jumbo receive producer ring
producer index and mini receive producer ring producer index to
the end of each receive producer ring initialization.
Do not assume mini receive producer ring is available only when
controller has jumbo frame capability, instead explicitly check
ASIC version BCM5700 to disable mini receive producer ring.
Additionally always enable send ring 0 regardless of controller
versions. Previously bge(4) didn't enable send ring 0 if controller
is BGE_IS_5705_PLUS. Becase bge(4) need 1 send ring to send frames
at least, I have no idea how it would have worked so far.

dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_dump
Add the capability to write the complete contents of the NVRAM via sysctl
dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_write
These are only available if the kernel option BCE_DEBUG is enabled.
The nvram_write sysctl also requires the kernel option
BCE_NVRAM_WRITE_SUPPORT to be enabled. These are to be used at your
own caution. Since the MAC addresses are stored in the NVRAM, if you
dump one NIC and restore it on another NIC the destination NIC's
MAC addresses will not be preserved. A tool can be made using these
sysctl's to manage the on-chip firmware.

BGE_MI_MODE register accesses. Previously bge(4) used to read
BGE_MI_MODE register to detect whether it needs to disable
autopolling feature or not. Because we don't touch autopolling in
other part of driver there is no reason to read BGE_MI_MODE
register given that we know default value in advance. In order to
achieve the goal, check whether the controller has CPMU(Central
Power Mangement Unit) capability. If controller has CPMU feature,
use 500KHz MII management interface(mdio/mdc) frequency regardless
core clock frequency. Otherwise use default MII clock. While I'm
here, add CPMU register definition.
In bge_miibus_readreg(), rearrange code a bit and remove goto
statement. In bge_miibus_writereg(), make sure to restore
autopolling even if MII write failed. The delay time inserted after
accessing BGE_MI_MODE register increased from 40us to 80us.
The default PHY address is now stored in softc. All PHYs supported
by bge(4) currently uses PHY address 1 but it will be changed when
we add newer controllers. This change will make it easier to change
default PHY address depending on PHY models.
