fixes and beacon programming / debugging into the ath(4) driver.
The basic power save tracking:
* Add some new code to track the current desired powersave state; and
* Add some reference count tracking so we know when the NIC is awake; then
* Add code in all the points where we're about to touch the hardware and
push it to force-wake.
Then, how things are moved into power save:
* Only move into network-sleep during a RUN->SLEEP transition;
* Force wake the hardware up everywhere that we're about to touch
the hardware.
The net80211 stack takes care of doing RUN<->SLEEP<->(other) state
transitions so we don't have to do it in the driver.
Next, when to wake things up:
* In short - everywhere we touch the hardware.
* The hardware will take care of staying awake if things are queued
in the transmit queue(s); it'll then transit down to sleep if
there's nothing left. This way we don't have to track the
software / hardware transmit queue(s) and keep the hardware
awake for those.
Then, some transmit path fixes that aren't related but useful:
* Force EAPOL frames to go out at the lowest rate. This improves
reliability during the encryption handshake after 802.11
negotiation.
Next, some reset path fixes!
* Fix the overlap between reset and transmit pause so we don't
transmit frames during a reset.
* Some noisy environments will end up taking a lot longer to reset
than normal, so extend the reset period and drop the raise the
reset interval to be more realistic and give the hardware some
time to finish calibration.
* Skip calibration during the reset path. Tsk!
Then, beacon fixes in station mode!
* Add a _lot_ more debugging in the station beacon reset path.
This is all quite fluid right now.
* Modify the STA beacon programming code to try and take
the TU gap between desired TSF and the target TU into
account. (Lifted from QCA.)

the 'HLT' instruction. This condition was detected by 'vm_handle_hlt()' and
converted into the SPINDOWN_CPU exitcode . The bhyve(8) process would exit
the vcpu thread in response to a SPINDOWN_CPU and when the last vcpu was
spun down it would reset the virtual machine via vm_suspend(VM_SUSPEND_RESET).
This functionality was broken in r263780 in a way that made it impossible
to kill the bhyve(8) process because it would loop forever in
vm_handle_suspend().
Unbreak this by removing the code to spindown vcpus. Thus a 'halt' from
a Linux guest will appear to be hung but this is consistent with the
behavior on bare metal. The guest can be rebooted by using the bhyvectl
options '--force-reset' or '--force-poweroff'.

Also, the corner and incorrect case of the requested range extending

allocating the segment.
Fix the comparision for the end of range and return EINVAL if the end

netstat has two options for printing multicast tables:
sysctl (the default one for live systems) and kvm-based one (for cores).
It looks like kvm-based one hasn't been working since it's been introduced
in r190012 due to absence of mfctablesize kernel symbol.
Check for all ipv4-multicast symbols being correctly resolved was introduced
in r259638 regardless of 'live' value leading to "No IPv4 MROUTING" error
message.

changed the fibnum parameter in the call to rtalloc1_fib() in
ifa_switch_loopback_route() from RT_DEFAULT_FIB to RT_ALL_FIBS. The solution
is to use the interface fib in that call. For the majority of users, that will

machine should be suspended, viz. VM_SUSPEND_RESET or VM_SUSPEND_POWEROFF.
The disposition of VM_SUSPEND is also made available to the exit handler

This capability is exposed via the '--force-reset' and '--force-poweroff'
