Import mvs(4) - Marvell 88SX50XX/88SX60XX/88SX70XX/SoC SATA controllers
driver for CAM ATA subsystem. This driver supports same hardware as
atamarvell, ataadaptec and atamvsata drivers from ata(4), but provides
many additional features, such as NCQ, PMP, etc.

r206443:
Small whitespace cleanup.

r206444 [1]:
- Rename bluetooth coexistence flags, no binary change.
- Enable DC calibration and crystal calibration on Centrino Advanced-N
  6250 parts.
- Workaround for a HW bug (does not affect 4965AGN) that may sporadically
  affect latency under some rare circumstances. From a similar commit to
  iwlwifi.
- Update sensitivity settings for 5000 series to workaround a performance
  bug in the DSP (1000 is not affected so we keep the old values for 5000).
- Update sensitivity settings for 6000 series.
- Set differential gains on 6250 too (but use a 1.0 factor, not 1.5).
- Init OFDM sensitivity with min value (which depends on the chip)
  instead of hardcoding it to 90.
- Read calibration version from ROM and set IWN_GP_DRIVER_CALIB_VER6
  bit on 6x50 if version >= 6.

r206445 [2]:
iwn4965_set_txpower() uses maxpwr from EEPROM to calculate the power to
set, it make sense to actually initialize that array.  This fixes some
issues with 4965 adapters where the TX power is crucial.

This got lost somewhere while merging with the OpenBSD code.

r206446:
Update firmware for the 6000 series Intel cards to version 9.193.4.1.

r206474:

- Allow users to enable dumping Debug objects without ACPI debugger.
Setting the new sysctl MIB "debug.acpi.enable_debug_objects" to a non-zero
value enables us to print Debug object when something is written to it.
- Allow users to disable interpreter slack mode.  Setting the new tunable
"debug.acpi.interpreter_slack" to zero disables some workarounds for common
BIOS mistakes and enables strict ACPI implementations by the specification.

Add driver for Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet.
  This driver was written by Alexander Pohoyda and greatly enhanced
  by Nikolay Denev. I don't have these hardwares but this driver was
  tested by Nikolay Denev and xclin.

  Because SiS didn't release data sheet for this controller, programming
  information came from Linux driver and OpenSolaris. Unlike other open
  source driver for SiS190/191, sge(4) takes full advantage of TX/RX
  checksum offloading and does not require additional copy operation in
  RX handler.
  The controller seems to have advanced offloading features like VLAN
  hardware tag insertion/stripping, TCP segmentation offload(TSO) as
  well as jumbo frame support but these features are not available
  yet. Special thanks to xclin <xclin<> cs dot nctu dot edu dot tw>
  who sent fix for receiving VLAN oversized frames.

8018e843a3 MFC of a large number of ipfw and dummynet fixes and enhancements
done in CURRENT over the last 4 months.
HEAD and RELENG_8 are almost in sync now for ipfw, dummynet
the pfil hooks and related components.

Among the most noticeable changes:
- r200855 more efficient lookup of skipto rules, and remove O(N)
  blocks from critical sections in the kernel;
- r204591 large restructuring of the dummynet module, with support
  for multiple scheduling algorithms (4 available so far)
See the original commit logs for details.

Changes in the kernel/userland ABI should be harmless because the
kernel is able to understand previous requests from RELENG_8 and
RELENG_7. For this reason, this changeset would be applicable
to RELENG_7 as well, but i am not sure if it is worthwhile.

- use dpcpu data to track the ifps with packets queued up,
- per-cpu locking and driver flags
- along with .nh_drainedcpu and NETISR_POLICY_CPU.
- Put the mbufs in flight reference count, preventing interfaces
  from going away, under INVARIANTS as this is a general problem
  of the stack and should be solved in if.c/netisr but still good
  to verify the internal queuing logic.

013818111a Add a new type of VM object: OBJT_SG. An OBJT_SG object is very similar to
a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses.  The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

59aa14a91d Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.

Authentication and encryption are not implemented.

There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).

A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.

Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh

Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

52c9ce25d8 Separate the parallel scsi knowledge out of the core of the XPT, and
modularize it so that new transports can be created.

Add a transport for SATA

Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA

Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.

Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability.  Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.

The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel.  The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives.  It also supports port multipliers.

ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes.  ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes.  They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives.  SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol.  See the camcontrol manpage for further
details.  Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.

This code is very experimental at the moment.  The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled.  It may change
further in the near future.  The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project.  The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.

Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed.  In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.

The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols.  It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware.  While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged.  Help with new transports is also encouraged.

9ba2b298df - Initialize the ifnet structure, especially if_dname, before probing
the PHYs as some PHY drivers use it (but probably shouldn't). How
  gem(4) has worked with brgphy(4) on powerpc without this so far is
  unclear to me.
- Introduce a dying flag which is set during detach and checked in
  gem_ioctl() in order to prevent active BPF listeners to clear
  promiscuous mode which may lead to the tick callout being restarted
  which will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- In gem_stop() reset rather than just disable the transmitter and
  receiver in order to ensure we're not unloading DMA maps still in
  use by the hardware. [1]
- The blanking time is specified in PCI clocks so we should use twice
  the value when operating at 66MHz.
- Spell some 2 as ETHER_ALIGN and a 19 as GEM_STATUS_TX_COMPLETION_SHFT
  to make the actual intentions clear.
- As we don't unload the peak attempts counter ignore its overflow
  interrupts.
- Remove a stale setting of a variable to GEM_TD_INTERRUPT_ME which
  isn't used afterwards.
- For optimum performance increment the TX kick register in multiples
  of 4 if possible as suggested by the documentation.
- Partially revert r164931; drivers should only clear the watchdog
  timer if all outstanding TX descriptors are done.
- Fix some debugging strings.
- Add a missing BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE in gem_rint().
- As the error paths in the interrupt handler are generally unlikely
  predict them as false.
- Add support for the SBus version of the GEM controller. [2]
- Add some lock assertions.
- Improve some comments.
- Fix some more or less cosmetic issues in the code of the PCI front-end.
- Change some softc members to be unsigned where more appropriate and
  remove unused ones.

3f345a5d09 Greatly simplify cxgb by removing almost all of the custom mbuf management logic
- remove mbuf iovec - useful, but adds too much complexity when isolated to
   the driver

- remove driver private caching - insufficient benefit over UMA to justify
  the added complexity and maintenance overhead

- remove separate logic for managing multiple transmit queues, with the
  new drbr routines the control flow can be made to much more closely resemble
  legacy drivers

- remove dedicated service threads, with per-cpu callouts one can get the same
  benefit much more simply by registering a callout 1 tick in the future if there
  are still buffered packets

- remove embedded mbuf usage - Jeffr's changes will (I hope) soon be integrated
  greatly reducing the overhead of using kernel APIs for reference counting
  clusters

- add hysteresis to descriptor coalescing logic

- add coalesce threshold sysctls to allow users to decide at run-time
  between optimizing for forwarding / UDP or optimizing for TCP

- add once per second watchdog to effectively close the very rare races
  occurring from coalescing

- incorporate Navdeep's changes to the initialization path required to
  convert port and adapter locks back to ordinary mutexes (silencing BPF
  LOR complaints)

- enable prefetches in get_packet and tx cleaning

119051cbf9 Add cas(4), a driver for Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor
DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).
Thanks to marcel@ for providing a Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE)
card which was vital for getting this driver to work on architectures
not using Open Firmware.

be7def1fe3 All these Ethernet NICs depend on INET, mostly for unconditional
cksum related function calls, sometimes related to offload features
from what I could see.xi
It would be good if the offload functionality would be properly
#ifdefed but the other calls to cksum related functions are a more
general problem also elswhere in the network stack.
