configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4)
called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box.
igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which
consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.
To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device
attach time and make multicast configuration success under any
conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in
stack.

Just showing some buffer allocation error is more appropriate
action for drivers. This should fix occasional panic reported on
em(4) when driver encountered resource shortage.

supported by many BIOSes to improve performance of VESA BIOS calls for real
mode OSes but it is not our intention here. However, this may help some
platforms where the video ROMs are inaccessible after suspend, for example.
Note it may consume up to 64K bytes of contiguous memory depending on video
controller model when it is enabled. This feature can be disabled by
setting zero to 'debug.vesa.shadow_rom' loader tunable via loader(8) or
loader.conf(5). The default is 1 (enabled), for now.
ID, plus the ability to force '16-bit mode' which really means NE-2000
mode. Other open source drivers suggest that the Holtek misbehaves if
you allow the 8-bit probe. Also, all of the PCI chips emulate
NE-2000ish cards, so always force 16-bit mode for memory transfers.

I'm not sure whether adding this logical id is correct or not
because Compex RL2000 is in the list of supported hardware list.
I guess the Compex RL2000 could be PCI variant while the controller
in question is ISA controller. It seems PNP compat id didn't match
or it had multiple compat ids so isa_pnp_probe() seemed to return
ENOENT.

support WOL. Some controllers require additional 3-wire auxiliary
remote wakeup connector to draw power. More recent xl(4)
controllers may not need the wakeup connector though.
initialize controller from a known good state. Previously driver
used to issue controller reset while TX/RX DMA are in progress.
I guess resetting controller in active TX/RX DMA cycle is to ensure
stopping I/Os in xl_shutdown(). I remember some buggy controllers
didn't respond with stop command if controller is under high
network load at the time of shutdown so resetting controller was
the only safe way to stop the I/Os. However, from my experiments,
controller always responded with stop command under high network
load so I think it's okay to remove the xl_reset() in
device_shutdown handler.
Resetting controller also will clear configured RX filter which
in turn will make WOL support hard because driver have to reprogram
RX filter in WOL handler as well as setting station address.
datagrams with checksum value 0 when TX UDP checksum offloading is
enabled. Generating UDP checksum value 0 is RFC 768 violation.
Even though the probability of generating such UDP datagrams is
low, I don't want to see FreeBSD boxes to inject such datagrams
into network so disable UDP checksum offloading by default. Users
still override this behavior by setting a sysctl variable or loader
tunable, dev.bge.%d.forced_udpcsum.
I have no idea why this issue was not reported so far given that
bge(4) is one of the most commonly used controller on high-end
server class systems. Thanks to andre@ who passed the PR to me.

Makefiles or *.mk files, use ${CC:T:Mfoo} instead, so only the basename
of the compiler command (excluding any arguments) is considered.
This allows you to use, for example, CC="/nondefault/path/clang -xxx",
and still have the various tests in bsd.*.mk identify your compiler as
clang correctly.
ICC if cases were also changed.

method is used by the PCI bus driver to query the power management system
to determine the proper device state to be used for a device during suspend
and resume. For the ACPI PCI bridge drivers this calls
acpi_device_pwr_for_sleep(). This removes ACPI-specific knowledge from
the PCI and PCI-PCI bridge drivers.

If it does, don't then try reprogramming the NF "cap" values (ie
what values are the "maximum" value the NF can be) - instead,
just leave the current CCA value as the NF cap.
This was inspired by some similar work from ath9k. It isn't
a 100% complete solution (as there may be some reason where a
high NF CCA/cap is written, causing the baseband to stop thinking it
is able to transmit, leading to stuck beacon and interface reset)
which I'll investigate and look at fixing in a later commit.

ath_hal_calibrateN() calls the HAL calibrateN function with rxchainmask=0x1.
This is not necessarily the case for AR5416 and later chipsets.
