luigi f8ad22919e Device Polling code for -current.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

To use this code you must compile a kernel with

        options DEVICE_POLLING

and at runtime enable polling with

        sysctl kern.polling.enable=1

The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with

        sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)

while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.

Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/

and also supports polling in the idle loop.

NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.

NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

* Polling support for [network] device drivers.
*
* Drivers which support this feature try to register with the
* polling code.
*
* If registration is successful, the driver must disable interrupts,
* and further I/O is performed through the handler, which is invoked
* (at least once per clock tick) with 3 arguments: the "arg" passed at
* register time (a struct ifnet pointer), a command, and a "count" limit.
*
* The command can be one of the following:
* POLL_ONLY: quick move of "count" packets from input/output queues.
* POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS: as above, plus check status registers or do
* other more expensive operations. This command is issued periodically
* but less frequently than POLL_ONLY.
* POLL_DEREGISTER: deregister and return to interrupt mode.
*
* The first two commands are only issued if the interface is marked as
* 'IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING', the last one only if IFF_RUNNING is set.
*
* The count limit specifies how much work the handler can do during the
* call -- typically this is the number of packets to be received, or
* transmitted, etc. (drivers are free to interpret this number, as long
* as the max time spent in the function grows roughly linearly with the
* count).
*
* Deregistration can be requested by the driver itself (typically in the
* *_stop() routine), or by the polling code, by invoking the handler.
*
* Polling can be globally enabled or disabled with the sysctl variable
* kern.polling.enable (default is 0, disabled)
*
* A second variable controls the sharing of CPU between polling/kernel
* network processing, and other activities (typically userlevel tasks):
* kern.polling.user_frac (between 0 and 100, default 50) sets the share
* of CPU allocated to user tasks. CPU is allocated proportionally to the
* shares, by dynamically adjusting the "count" (poll_burst).
*
* Other parameters can should be left to their default values.
* The following constraints hold
*
* 1 <= poll_each_burst <= poll_burst <= poll_burst_max
* 0 <= poll_in_trap <= poll_each_burst
* MIN_POLL_BURST_MAX <= poll_burst_max <= MAX_POLL_BURST_MAX
