add some more BAR debugging logic.
* Change the definition of ath_debug and ath_softc.sc_debug from
int to uint64_t;
* Change the relevant sysctls;
* Add a new BAR TX debugging field;
* Use this in if_ath_tx.
This has been tested by using the sysctl program, which happily allows
for fields > 32 bits to be configured.
Although I _should_ handle the other errors in various ways (specifically
errors like FILT), treating them as having transmitted successfully
is completely wrong. Here, they'd be counted as successful and the BAW
would be advanced.. but the RX side wouldn't have received them.
The specific errors I've been seeing here are HAL_TXERR_FILT.
This patch does fix the issue - I've tested it using -i 0.001 pings
(enough to start aggregation) and now the behaviour is correct:
* The RX side never sees a "moved window" error, and
* The TX side sends BARs as needed, with the RX side correctly handling
them.

This gives a 16% performance improvement under high load on slow systems,
especially when vr shares an interrupt with another device, which is
common with the Alix x86 boards.
Contrary to the other devices, I left the interrupt processing for loop
in because there was no significant difference in performance and this
should avoid enqueuing more taskqueues unnecessarily.
We also decided to move the vr_start_locked() call inside the for loop
because we found out that it helps performance since TCP ACKs now have a
chance to go out quicker.

The DELAY(1000) to let things settle is my local workaround. For some
reason, PHY4 doesn't seem to probe very reliably without it. It's quite
possible that we're missing some MDIO bus initialisation code in if_arge
for the AR724x case. As I dislike DELAY() workarounds in general, it's
definitely worth trying to figure out why this is the case.

This is designed to support the very basic ethernet switch chip behaviour,
specifically:
* accessing switch register space;
* accessing per-PHY registers (for switches that actually expose PHYs);
* basic vlan group support, which applies for the rtl8366 driver but not
for the atheros switches.
This also includes initial support for:
* rtl8366rb support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch which supports
vlan groups;
* Initial Atheros AR8316 switch support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch
which supports an alternate vlan configuration (so the vlan group
methods are stubbed.)
The general idea here is that the switch driver may speak to a variety of
backend busses (mdio, i2c, spi, whatever) and expose:
* If applicable, one or more MDIO busses which ethernet interfaces can
then attach PHYs to via miiproxy/mdioproxy;
* exposes miibusses, one for each port at the moment, so ..
* .. a PHY can be exposed on each miibus, for each switch port, with all
of the existing MII/ifnet framework.
However:
* The ifnet is manually created for now, and it isn't linked into the
interface list, nor can you (currently) send/receive frames on this ifnet.
At some point in the future there may be _some_ support for this, for
switches with a multi-port, isolated mode.
* I'm still in the process of sorting out correct(er) locking.
TODO:
* ray's switch code in zrouter (zrouter.org) includes a much more developed
newbus API that covers the various switch methods, as well as a
capability API so drivers, the switch layer and the userland utility
can properly control the subset of supported features.
The plan is to sort that out later, once the rest of ray's switch drivers
are brought over and extended to export MII busses and PHYs.

controller to perform MDIO type accesses to a remote transceiver
using message pages defined through MRBE(multirate backplane
ethernet). It's used in blade systems(e.g Dell Blade m610) which
are connected to pass-through blades rather than traditional
switches.
This change directly manipulates firmware's mailboxes to control
remote PHY such that it does not use mii(4). Alternatively, as
David said, it could be implemented in brgphy(4) by creating a fake
PHY and let brgphy(4) do necessary mii accesses and bce(4) can
implement mailbox accesses based on the type of brgphy(4)'s mii
accesses. Personally, I think it would make brgphy(4) hard to
maintain since it would have to access many bce(4) registers in
brgphy(4). Given that there are users who are suffering from lack
of remote PHY support, it would be better to get working system
rather than waiting for complete/perfect implementation.

Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs. MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores. Now
we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
accordingly, and ignore disabled cores. This prevents us from executing
methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
exist. Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects. To
work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual

ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.
