jhb 0f7a6b4eb7 Fix a few issues with transmit handling in em(4) and igb(4):
- Do not define the foo_start() methods or set if_start in the ifnet if
  multiq transmit is enabled.  Also, set if_transmit and if_qflush before
  ether_ifattach rather than after when multiq transmit is enabled.  This
  helps to ensure that the drivers never try to mix different transmit
  methods.
- Properly restart transmit during resume.  igb(4) was not restarting it
  at all, and em(4) was restarting even if the link was down and was
  calling the wrong method if multiq transmit was enabled.
- Remove all the 'more' handling for transmit completions.  Transmit
  completion processing does not have a processing limit, so it always
  runs to completion and never has more work to do when it returns.
  Instead, the previous code was returning 'true' anytime there were
  packets in the queue that weren't still in the process of being
  transmitted.  The effect was that the driver would continuously
  reschedule a task to process TX completions in effect running at 100%
  CPU polling the hardware until it finished transmitting all of the
  packets in the ring.  Now it will just wait for the next TX completion
  interrupt.
- Restart packet transmission when the link becomes active.
- Fix the MSI-X queue interrupt handlers to restart packet transmission if
  there are pending packets in the relevant software queue (IFQ or buf_ring)
  after processing TX completions.  This is the root cause for the OACTIVE
  hangs as if the MSI-X queue handler drained all the pending packets from
  the TX ring, nothing would ever restart it.  As such, remove some
  previously-added workarounds to reschedule a task to poll the TX ring
  anytime OACTIVE was set.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
