Freescale's QorIQ line includes a new ethernet controller, based on their
Datapath Acceleration Architecture (DPAA). This uses a combination of a Frame
manager, Buffer manager, and Queue manager to improve performance across all
interfaces by being able to pass data directly between hardware acceleration
interfaces.
As part of this import, Freescale's Netcomm Software (ncsw) driver is imported.
This was an attempt by Freescale to create an OS-agnostic sub-driver for
managing the hardware, using shims to interface to the OS-specific APIs. This
work was abandoned, and Freescale's primary work is in the Linux driver (dual
BSD/GPL license). Hence, this was imported directly to sys/contrib, rather than
going through the vendor area. Going forward, FreeBSD-specific changes may be
made to the ncsw code, diverging from the upstream in potentially incompatible
ways. An alternative could be to import the Linux driver itself, using the
linuxKPI layer, as that would maintain parity with the vendor-maintained driver.
However, the Linux driver has not been evaluated for reliability yet, and may
have issues with the import, whereas the ncsw-based driver in this commit was
completed by Semihalf 4 years ago, and is very stable.
Other SoC modules based on DPAA, which could be added in the future:
* Security and Encryption engine (SEC4.x, SEC5.x)
* RAID engine
Additional work to be done:
* Implement polling mode
* Test vlan support
* Add support for the Pattern Matching Engine, which can do regular expression
matching on packets.
This driver has been tested on the P5020 QorIQ SoC. Others listed in the
dtsec(4) manual page are expected to work as the same DPAA engine is included in
all.

Much of the code was common to begin with. There is one nit, which is likely
not an issue at all. With the old code, the AIM machdep would __syncicache()
the entire kernel core at setup. However, in the unified setup, that seems to
hang on the MPC7455, perhaps because it's running later than before. Removing
this allows it to boot just fine. Examining the code, the FreeBSD loader
already does syncicache of the full kernel, and each module loaded, so this
doesn't appear to be an actual problem.
Initial code by Nathan Whitehorn.
This port failed to gain traction and probably only a couple Wii consoles

support was never implemented, so it was impossible to use any peripheral

'device adm1030' instead, and this has been updated in GENERIC and NOTES.

Much to my chagrin, PS3 support seems to have bitrotted somewhat since the

to be faulty. This should be fixed soon...
CAPABILITIES stuff required to make ssh work.
Hopefully, Book-E can eventually be added to GENERIC, which would avoid
this kind of issue with bitrot. That will require figuring out how to link
Book-E and AIM kernels at the same address, however...

exception of POWER3-based systems when run in 64-bit mode. The main
development target, however, has been the PAPR logical partition support
that is the default target in KVM on POWER and QEMU -- mileage may vary

* Make Yarrow an optional kernel component -- enabled by "YARROW_RNG" option.
The files sha2.c, hash.c, randomdev_soft.c and yarrow.c comprise yarrow.
* random(4) device doesn't really depend on rijndael-*. Yarrow, however, does.
* Add random_adaptors.[ch] which is basically a store of random_adaptor's.
random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah
* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.
