- Correct RX packet drop counter for BCM5705+. This register is read/clear
and it wraps very quickly under heavy packet drops because only the lower
ten bits are valid according to the documentation. However, it seems few
more bits are actually valid and the rest bits are always zeros[1].
Therefore, we don't mask them off here. To get accurate packet drop count,
we need to check the register from bge_rxeof(). It is commented out for now,
not to penalize normal operation. Actual performance impact should be
measured later.
- Correct integer casting from u_long to uint32_t. Casting is not really
needed for all supported platforms but we better do this correctly[2].

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and

Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.

I have from Broadcom does not give much information on these devices,

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.
