New Revision: 238609
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/238609

Log:
  Convert the TX path to use the new HAL methods for accessing the
  TX descriptor link pointers.
  
  This is required for the AR93xx and later chipsets.
  
  The RX path is slightly different - the legacy RX path directly
  accesses ath_desc->ds_link for now, however this isn't at all done
  for EDMA (FIFO) RX.
  
  Now, for those performing a little software archeology here:
  
  This is all a bit sub-optimal. "struct ath_desc" is only really relevant
  for the pre-AR93xx NICs - where ds_link and ds_data is always in the
  same location.
  
  The AR93xx and later NICs have different descriptor layouts altogether.
  
  Now, for AR93xx and later NICs, you should never directly reference
  ds_link and ds_data, as:
  
  * the RX descriptors don't have either - the data is _after_ the RX
    descriptor.  They're just one large buffer.  There's also no need for
    a per-descriptor RX buffer size as they're all fixed sizes.
  
  * the TX descriptors have 4 buffer and 4 length fields _and_ a link
    pointer.  Each frame takes up one TX FIFO pointer, but it can contain
    multiple subframes (either multiple frames in a buffer, and/or
    multiple frames in an aggregate/RIFS burst.)
  
  * .. so, when TX frames are queued to a hardware queue, the link
    pointer is ONLY for buffers in that frame/aggregate.  The next frame
    starts in a new FIFO pointer.
  
  * Finally, descriptor completion status is in a different ring.
    I'll write something up about that when its time to do so.
  
  This was inspired by Linux ath9k and the reference driver but is a
  reimplementation.
