  SVN rev 193616 on 2009-06-07 05:46:12Z by yongari
  
  MFC r192506:
    bus_dma(9) conversion and make nge(4) work on all architectures.
    o Header file cleanup.
    o bus_dma(9) conversion.
      - Removed all consumers of vtophys(9) and converted to use
        bus_dma(9).
      - 64bit DMA support was disabled because DP83821 is not capable
        of handling the DMA request. 64bit DMA request on DP83820
        requires different descriptor structures and it's hard to
        dynamically change descriptor format at run time so I disabled
        it. Note, this is the same behavior as previous one but
        previously nge(4) didn't explicitly disable 64bit mode on
        DP83820.
      - Added Tx/Rx descriptor ring alignment requirements(8 bytes
        alignment).
      - Limit maximum number of Tx DMA segments to 16. In fact,
        controller does not seem to have limitations on number of Tx
        DMA segments but 16 should be enough for most cases and
        m_collapse(9) will handle highly fragmented frames without
        consuming a lot of CPU cycles.
      - Added Rx buffer alignment requirements(8 bytes alignment). This
        means driver should fixup received frames to align on 16bits
        boundary on strict-alignment architectures.
      - Nuked driver private data structure in descriptor ring.
      - Added endianness support code in Tx/Rx descriptor access.
    o Prefer faster memory mapped register access to I/O mapped access.
       Added fall-back mechanism to use alternative register access.
       The hardware supports both memory and I/O mapped access.
    o Added suspend/resume methods but it wasn't tested as controller I
      have does not support PCI PME.
    o Removed swap argument in nge_read_eeprom() since endianness
      should be handled after reading EEPROM.
    o Implemented experimental 802.3x full-duplex flow-control. ATM
      it was commented out but will be activated after we have generic
      flow-control framework in mii(4) layer.
    o Rearranged promiscuous mode settings and simplified logic.
    o Always disable Rx filter prior to changing Rx filter functions as
      indicated in DP83820/DP83821 datasheet.
    o Added an explicit DELAY in timeout loop of nge_reset().
    o Added a sysctl variable dev.nge.%d.int_holdoff to control
      interrupt moderation. Valid ranges are 1 to 255(default 1) in
      units of 100us. The actual delivery of interrupt would be delayed
      based on the sysctl value. The interface has to be brought down
      and up again before a change takes effect. With proper tuning
      value, users do not need to resort to polling(4) anymore.
    o Added ALTQ(4) support.
    o Added missing IFCAP_VLAN_HWCSUM as nge(4) can offload Tx/Rx
      checksum calculation on VLAN tagged frames as well as VLAN tag
      insertion/stripping. Also add IFCAP_VLAN_MTU capability as nge(4)
      can handle VLAN tagged oversized frames.
    o Fixed media header length for VLAN.
    o Rearranged nge_detach routine such that it's now used for general
      clean-up routine.
    o Enabled MWI.
    o Accessing EEPROM takes very long time so read 6 bytes ethernet
      address with one call instead of 3 separate accesses.
    o Don't set if_mtu in device attach, it's already set in
      ether_ifattach().
    o Don't do any special things for TBI interface. Remove TBI
      specific media handling in the driver and have gentbi(4) handle
      it. Add glue code to read/write TBI PHY registers in miibus
      method. This change removes a lot of PHY handling code in driver
      and now its functionality is handled by mii(4).
    o Alignment fixup code is now applied only for strict-alignment
      architectures. Previously the code was applied for all
      architectures except i386. With this change amd64 will get
      instant Rx performance boost.
    o When driver fails to allocate a new mbuf, update if_qdrops so
      users can see what was wrong in Rx path.
    o Added a workaround for a hardware bug which resulted in short
      VLAN tagged frames(e.g. ARP) was rejected as if runt frame was
      received. With this workaround nge(4) now accepts the short VLAN
      tagged frame and nge(4) can take full advantage of hardware VLAN
      tag stripping. I have no idea how this bug wasn't known so far,
      without the workaround nge(4) may never work on VLAN
      environments.
    o Fixed Rx checksum offload logic such that it now honors active
      interface capability configured with ifconfig(8).
    o In nge_start()/nge_txencap(), always leave at least one free
      descriptor as indicated in datasheet. Without this the hardware
      would be confused with ring descriptor structure(e.g. no clue
      for the end of descriptor ring).
    o Removed dead-code that checks interrupts on PHY hardware. The
      code was designed to detect link state changes but it was
      disabled as driving nge_tick clock would break auto-negotiation
      timer. This code is no longer needed as nge(4) now uses mii(4)
      and link state change handling is done with mii callback.
    o Rearranged ethernet address programming logic such that it works
       on strict-alignment architectures.
    o Added IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING/IFCAP_VLAN_HWCSUM handler in
       nge_ioctl() such that the functionality is configurable with
       ifconfig(8). DP83820/DP83821 can do checksum offload for VLAN
       tagged frames so enable Tx/Rx checksum offload for VLAN
       interfaces.
    o Simplified IFCAP_POLLING selection logic in nge_ioctl().
    o Fixed module unload panic when bpf listeners are active.
    o Tx/Rx descriptor ring address uses 64bit DMA address for
       readability. High address part of DMA would be 0 as nge(4)
       disabled 64bit DMA transfers so it's ok for DP83821.
    o Removed volatile keyword in softc as bus_dmamap_sync(9) should
       take care of this.
    o Removed extra driver private structures in descriptor ring. These
       extra elements are not part of descriptor structure. Embedding
       private driver structure into descriptor ring is not good idea
       as its size may be different on 32bit/64bit architectures.
    o Added miibus_linkchg method handler to catch link state changes.
    o Removed unneeded nge_ifmedia in softc. All TBI access is handled
      in gentbi(4). There is no difference between TBI and non-TBI case
      now.
    o Removed "gigabit link up" message handling in nge_tick. Link
      state change notification is already performed by mii(4) and
      checking link state by accessing PHY registers in periodic timer
      handler of driver is wrong. All link state and speed/duplex
      monitoring should be handled in PHY driver.
    o Use our own timer for watchdog instead of if_watchdog/if_timer
      interface.
    o Added hardware MAC statistics counter, users canget current MAC
      statistics from dev.nge.%d.stats sysctl node(%d is unit number of
      a device).
    o Removed unused macros, NGE_LASTDESC, NGE_MODE, NGE_OWNDESC,
      NGE_RXBYTES.
    o Increased number of Tx/Rx descriptors from 128 to 256. From my
      experience on gigabit ethernet controllers, number of descriptors
      should be 256 or higher to get an optimal performance on gigabit
      link.
    o Increased jumbo frame length to 9022 bytes to cope with other
      gigabit ethernet drivers. Experimentation shows no problems with
      9022 bytes.
    o Removed unused member variables in softc.
    o Switched from bus_space_{read|write}_4 to bus_{read|write}_4.
    o Added support for WOL.
