Adrian Chadd af33d486ab Implement a separate, smaller pool of ath_buf entries for use by management
traffic.

* Create sc_mgmt_txbuf and sc_mgmt_txdesc, initialise/free them appropriately.
* Create an enum to represent buffer types in the API.
* Extend ath_getbuf() and _ath_getbuf_locked() to take the above enum.
* Right now anything sent via ic_raw_xmit() allocates via ATH_BUFTYPE_MGMT.
  This may not be very useful.
* Add ATH_BUF_MGMT flag (ath_buf.bf_flags) which indicates the current buffer
  is a mgmt buffer and should go back onto the mgmt free list.
* Extend 'txagg' to include debugging output for both normal and mgmt txbufs.
* When checking/clearing ATH_BUF_BUSY, do it on both TX pools.

Tested:

* STA mode, with heavy UDP injection via iperf.  This filled the TX queue
  however BARs were still going out successfully.

TODO:

* Initialise the mgmt buffers with ATH_BUF_MGMT and then ensure the right
  type is being allocated and freed on the appropriate list.  That'd save
  a write operation (to bf->bf_flags) on each buffer alloc/free.

* Test on AP mode, ensure that BAR TX and probe responses go out nicely
  when the main TX queue is filled (eg with paused traffic to a TID,
  awaiting a BAR to complete.)

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.
