the descriptors set.
- In em_process_receive_interrupts(), call bus_dmamap_sync() for the
descriptors set each time we modify one descriptor, instead of doing it only
at the function exit, to make sure the adapters know he can re-use the
descriptor.
This helps on arm with write-back data cache (and possibly on other arches
with bounce pages, I don't know) under heavy network load. Without this,
if we attempt to process more than num_rx_desc descriptors, the adapter
would just stop processing rx interrupts.
The receive function em_process_receive_interrupts() unlocks the
adapter while ether_input() processes the packet, and then locks
it back. In the meantime, em_init() may be called, either from
em_watchdog() from softclock interrupt or from the ifconfig(8)
program. The em_init() resets the card, in particular it sets
adapter->next_rx_desc_to_check to 0 and resets hardware RX Head
and Tail descriptor pointers. The loop in
em_process_receive_interrupts() does not expect these things to
change, and a mess may result.
This fixes long wedges of em(4) interfaces receive part under high
load and IP fastforwarding enabled.

o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that
poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler.
This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a
functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off
with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes:
- Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not
needed now.
- Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags.
- Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally.
- Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers.
- In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx.
- In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers
to unregister.
- In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any
handlers are present.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert
that arguments are correct, instead.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of
error or success.
- Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable.
poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling.
A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes:
- On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but
not in if_capenable.
- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns.
- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious
interrupts.

MFC after: 1 week
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

the interface when going to toggle VLAN support for
internal reasons. If the IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING bit is
cleared, we should rely on the (re)init routine to turn
VLAN support off and never touch the relevant hardware bits.
This applies to other capability bits, too. The user
obviously has a reason for clearing a capability bit,
e.g., if his particular NIC is buggy and hangs if a
certain hardware capability is turned on even for a
fraction of a second.
The flag adapter->em_insert_vlan_header still is set or
reset irrespective of the IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING setting,
as before, in order to handle the case when a user sets
promiscuous mode on an interface first and later turns
its IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING bit on.
This change might look orthogonal to rev#1.85, but in fact
it is not. It introduces bugfixes that hopefully will make
implementing the general scheme mentioned in the commit
message of rev#1.85 easier.
configuration: it appears to work properly in the non-promiscuous case, but
we've not yet implemented a more general solution that maintains full

- Because em_encap() can now fail in a way that leaves us without an
mbuf chain, potentially set *m_headp to NULL if that happens, so that
the caller can do the right thing. This case can occur when we try
to prepend the vlan header mbuf but can't allocate additional memory.
- Modify the caller of em_encap() to detect a NULL m_head and not try
to queue the mbuf if that happens.
- When em_encap() fails, make sure to call bus_dmamap_destroy() to
clean up.
promiscuous mode introduced in 1.45, which programs the em card not
to strip or prepend tags when in promiscuous mode without also
modifying behavior to manually prepend a vlan header in the event
that the card isn't doing it on transmit. Due to a feature of card
operation, if the global VLAN prepend/strip register isn't set,
setting the VLAN tag flag on individual packet descriptors will
cause the packet to be transmitted using ISL encapsulation rather
than 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation.
This fix causes em_encap() to prepend the header by tracking whether
the card is configured to temporarily disable prepending/stripping
due to promiscuous mode. As a result, entering promiscuous mode on
the parent em interface no longer causes vlans to appear to "wedge"
or transmit ISL-encapsulated frames, which typically will not be
configured/spoken by the other endpoints on the VLAN trunk. This
bug may also exist in other drivers, and the additional vlan
encapsulation logic should be abstracted and centralized in
if_vlan.c if so.

Since the e1000 DMA engines hava no constraints on the alignment of buffer
transfers, there is no reason to tell busdma that there is. This save a
minimum of 1 malloc call per packet, which translates to eliminating 4 locks.
It also means that buffers are not needlessly bounced when transfered. The
end result is a 38% improvement in pps in a 4 way bridging environment.
