SVN rev 199543 on 2009-11-19 19:35:15Z by jhb
Several fixes to this driver:
- Overhaul the locking to avoid recursion and add missing locking in a few
places.
- Don't schedule a task to call vge_start() from contexts that are safe to
call vge_start() directly. Just invoke the routine directly instead
(this is what all of the other NIC drivers I am familiar with do). Note
that vge(4) does not use an interrupt filter handler which is the primary
reason some other drivers use tasks.
- Add a new private timer to drive the watchdog timer instead of using
if_watchdog and if_timer.
- Fixup detach by calling ether_ifdetach() before stopping the interface.
