Remove unnecessary restrictions on the mbuf chain length built during an

where the LRO implementation cannot handle more than 18 discontinuities.
The FreeBSD implementation has no such restriction.

The fdcheckstd() function makes sure fds 0, 1 and 2 are open by opening
/dev/null. If this fails (e.g. missing devfs or wrong permissions),
fdcheckstd() will return failure and the process will exit as if it received
SIGABRT. The KASSERT is only to check that kern_open() returns the expected
fd, given that it succeeded.
Tripping the KASSERT is most likely if fd 0 is open but fd 1 or 2 are not.

This is just the bare minimum needed to teach ath_rate_sample to try
and handle MCS rates. It doesn't at all attempt to find the best
rate by any means - it doesn't know anything about the MCS rate
relations, TX aggregation or any of the much sexier 11n stuff
that's out there.
It's just enough to transmit 11n frames and handle TX completion.
It shouldn't affect legacy (11abg) behaviour.

The defaults enabled three chains on the AR5416 even if the card has two
chains. This restores that and ensures that only the correct TX/RX
chainmasks are used.
When HT modes are enabled, all TX chains will be correctly enabled.
This should now enable analog chain swapping with 2-chain cards.
I'm not sure if this is needed for just the AR5416 or whether
it also applies to AR9160, AR9280 and AR9287 (later on); I'll have
to get clarification.
This, along with an initval change which will appear in a subsequent commit,

the controller has a kind of embedded controller/memory and vendor
applies a large set of magic code via undocumented PHY registers in
device initialization stage. I guess it's a firmware image for the
embedded controller in RTL8105E since the code is too big compared
to other DSP fixups. However I have no idea what that magic code
does and what's purpose of the embedded controller. Fortunately
driver seems to still work without loading the firmware.

capability. One of reason using interrupt taskqueue in re(4) was
to reduce number of TX/RX interrupts under load because re(4)
controllers have no good TX/RX interrupt moderation mechanism.
Basic TX interrupt moderation is done by hardware for most
controllers but RX interrupt moderation through undocumented
register showed poor RX performance so it was disabled in r215025.
Using taskqueue to handle RX interrupt greatly reduced number of
interrupts but re(4) consumed all available CPU cycles to run the
taskqueue under high TX/RX network load. This can happen even with
RTL810x fast ethernet controller and I believe this is not
acceptable for most systems.
To mitigate the issue, use one-shot timer register to moderate RX
interrupts. The timer register provides programmable one-shot timer
and can be used to suppress interrupt generation. The timer runs at
125MHZ on PCIe controllers so the minimum time allowed for the
timer is 8ns. Data sheet says the register is 32 bits but
experimentation shows only lower 13 bits are valid so maximum time
that can be programmed is 65.528us. This yields theoretical maximum
number of RX interrupts that could be generated per second is about
15260. Combined with TX completion interrupts re(4) shall generate
less than 20k interrupts. This number is still slightly high
compared to other intelligent ethernet controllers but system is
very responsive even under high network load.
Introduce sysctl variable dev.re.%d.int_rx_mod that controls amount
of time to delay RX interrupt processing in units of us. Value 0
completely disables RX interrupt moderation. To provide old
behavior for controllers that have MSI/MSI-X capability, introduce
a new tunable hw.re.intr_filter. If the tunable is set to non-zero
value, driver will use interrupt taskqueue. The default value of
the tunable is 0. This tunable has no effect on controllers that
has no MSI/MSI-X capability or if MSI/MSI-X is explicitly disabled
by administrator.
While I'm here cleanup interrupt setup/teardown since re(4) uses
single MSI/MSI-X message at this moment.

ath9k does a few different things here during config - if it's an early
AR5416 with two chains, it enables all three chains for calibration and
then restores the chainmask to the original values after initial
calibration has completed.
The reason behind this commit is to begin breaking out the chainmask
configuration for this specific reason; follow-up commits will add
the chainmask restore in the ar5416Reset() routine.
recent PCIe controllers(RTL8102E or later and RTL8168/8111C or
later) supports either 2 or 4 MSI-X messages. Unfortunately vendor
did not publicly release RSS related information yet. However
switching to MSI-X is one-step forward to support RSS.
