- Keep values of rx/tx discards & tx collisions inside struct bge_softc.
So we can keep statistic across ifconfig down/up runs (cause bringing
bge up will reset chip).

an interrupt appears to occur before the transfer has been marked
as completed. This caused umass transfers to get stuck, especially
when writing large files. The workaround sets up a timer that
rechecks for missed completed transfers if some operations are still
pending. Other suggested workarounds, such as performing a PCI read
immediately after acknowledging the interrupts, do not appear to
help.

taskqueue_start_threads(struct taskqueue **, int count, int pri,
const char *name, ...);
This allows the creation of 1 or more threads that will service a single
taskqueue. Also rework the taskqueue_create() API to remove the API change
that was introduced a while back. Creating a taskqueue doesn't rely on
the presence of a process structure, and the proc mechanics are much better
encapsulated in taskqueue_start_threads(). Also clean up the
taskqueue_terminate() and taskqueue_free() functions to safely drain
pending tasks and remove all associated threads.
The TASKQUEUE_DEFINE and TASKQUEUE_DEFINE_THREAD macros have been changed
to use the new API, but drivers compiled against the old definitions will
still work. Thus, recompiling drivers is not a strict requirement.

2) use more robust way of link state handling for BCM5700 rev.B2 chip
3) workaround bug of some BCM570x chips which cause spurious "link up" messages
4) fix bug: some BCM570x chips was unable to detect link state changes after
ifconfig down/up sequence until any 'non-link related' interrupt generated.
(this happened due to pending internal link state attention which blocked
interrupt generation)

* fix bst.rate to correctly output the (dis)charging rate. We'll use
the current average over one minute command and not the at_rate command.
Note that this method is not correct if the capacity_mode is set, but
since we don't set it ourself, it is not a problem.
The at_rate do not give the actual rate but is used to compute the
estimated time for (dis)charging a battery. We should actually
write an estimation of the actual rate using at_rate cmd and then
perform a read to the various estimators.

- Only update the rx ring consumer pointer after running through the rx loop,
not with each iteration through the loop.
- If possible, use a fast interupt handler instead of an ithread handler. Use
the interrupt handler to check and squelch the interrupt, then schedule a
taskqueue to do the actual work. This has three benefits:
- Eliminates the 'interrupt aliasing' problem found in many chipsets by
allowing the driver to mask the interrupt in the NIC instead of the
OS masking the interrupt in the APIC.
- Allows the driver to control the amount of work done in the interrupt
handler. This results in what I call 'adaptive polling', where you get
the latency benefits of a quick response to interrupts with the
interrupt mitigation and work partitioning of polling. Polling is still
an option in the driver, but I consider it orthogonal to this work.
- Don't hold the driver lock in the RX handler. The handler and all data
associated is effectively serialized already. This eliminates the cost of
dropping and reaquiring the lock for every receieved packet. The result
is much lower contention for the driver lock, resulting in lower CPU usage
and lower latency for interactive workloads.
The amount of work done in the taskqueue is controlled by the sysctl
dev.em.N.rx_processing_limit
and tunable
hw.em.rx_process_limit
Setting these to -1 effectively removes the limit.
The fast interrupt and taskqueue can be disabled by defining NO_EM_FASTINTR.
This work has been shown to increase fast-forwarding from ~570 kpps to
~750 kpps (note that the same NIC hardware seems unable to transmit more than
800 kpps, so this increase appears to be limited almost solely by the
hardware). Gains have been shown in other workloads, ranging from better
performance to elimination of over-saturation livelocks.
Thanks to Andre Opperman for his time and resources from his network
performance project in performing much of the testing. Thanks to Gleb
Smirnoff and Danny Braniss for their help in testing also.
