     Proposed patch addresses hifn(4) problems on FreeBSD/mips. Current
implementation keeps some of the state information (indexes in
buffers, etc) in DMA-mapped memory and bus_dma code invalidates them
during sync operations. This fix moves data that doesn't belong to DMA
ring to softc structure.
