The existing method for testing for MRR is to call the "SetupXTXDesc"
HAL method and see if it returns AH_TRUE or AH_FALSE. This capability
explicitly lists what number of multi-rate attempts are possible.
"1" means "one rate attempt supported".
all diskN aliases for providers (which more or less corresponds to how the
x86 version behaves) but instead probe only those listed in the boot-device
OFW environment variable. This has the following advantages:
- avoids otherwise unavoidable OFW warnings about failures to open disks
for which aliases exist but no actual hardware is connected
- avoids issues due to different diskN naming schemes
- aligns us with Solaris

* shuffle things around so things fall on natural padding boundaries;
* add a couple of new flags to specify LDPC and whether to switch to the
low power RX chain configuration after this TX has completed.

Specifically, however:
* AR9280 and later support 1-stream STBC RX;
* AR9280 and AR9287 support 1-stream STBC TX.
The STBC support isn't announced (yet) via net80211 and it isn't at all
chosen by the rate control code, so there's no real consumer of this
yet.

(future) TPC support in the AR9300 HAL.
This is effectively a no-op for the moment as (a) TPC isn't really
supported, (b) the AR9300 HAL isn't yet public, and (c) the existing
HAL code doesn't use these fields.

buffers.
ath_descdma is now being used for things other than the classical
combination of ath_buf + ath_desc allocations. In this particular case,
don't try to free and blank out the ath_buf list if it's not passed in.
of buffers, only the number of descriptors.
This involves:
* Change the allocation function to not use nbuf at all;
* When calling it, pass in "nbuf * ndesc" to correctly update how many
descriptors are being allocated.
Whilst here, fix the descriptor allocation code to correctly allocate
a larger buffer size if the Merlin 4KB WAR is required. It overallocates
descriptors when allocating a block that doesn't ever have a 4KB boundary
being crossed, but that can be fixed at a later stage.
off da0s1a instead of ate0. Note that MMC/SD is slot B. Until I
switch over to NAND boot, dataflash booting will preclude having SD
cards inserted at boot, so this last bit is untested.

VALE lets you dynamically instantiate multiple software bridges
that talk the netmap API (and are *extremely* fast), so you can test
netmap applications without the need for high end hardware.
This is particularly useful as I am completing a netmap-aware
version of ipfw, and VALE provides an excellent testing platform.
Also, I also have netmap backends for qemu mostly ready for commit
to the port, and this too will let you interconnect virtual machines
at high speed without fiddling with bridges, tap or other slow solutions.
The API for applications is unchanged, so you can use the code
in tools/tools/netmap (which i will update soon) on the VALE ports.
This commit also syncs the code with the one in my internal repository,
so you will see some conditional code for other platforms.
The code should run mostly unmodified on stable/9 so people interested
in trying it can just copy sys/dev/netmap/ and sys/net/netmap*.h

VALE is joint work with my colleague Giuseppe Lettieri, and
is partly supported by the EU Projects CHANGE and OPENLAB
private data.
We can set/get private data with the documented el_get() and
el_set() so there's no need for our local extensions, which
never received much use anyway.
While here, also re-arrange the call to term_init_arrow. This
was left over from r89735 but is not required anymore.
This changes reduce differences against NetBSD's libedit.

subdevice ahciem. Emulate SEMB SES device from AHCI LED interface to expose
it to users in form of ses(4) CAM device. If we ever see AHCI controllers
supporting SES of SAF-TE over I2C as described by specification, they should
fit well into this new picture.

list of supported devices with the union of:
NetBSD src/sys/dev/usb/uslsa.c 1.18
OpenBSD src/sys/dev/usb/uslcom.c 1.24
Linux source/drivers/usb/serial/cp210x.c HEAD
Remove duplicate JABLOTRON PC60B entry.
Note that some of the devices added here are multi-port devices. The
uslcom(4) driver currently only supports the first port on such devices.
Update the man page to reflect the full list of supported devices.
Remove two caveats from the CAVEATS section, as both listed caveats no
longer apply. Add a caveat about multi-port devices.
