MFC r284179, r283959

Implement multiqueue (max 2 tx/rx queues) for the 82574L chipset.

Change default tuning parameters to handle this new configuration if
EM_MULTIQUEUE is set in the kernel configuration. Off by default.

See r283959 changelog for the scope of these changes.

Change the E1000 driver option header handling to match the
ixgbe driver. As it was, when building them as a module INET
and INET6 are not defined. In these drivers it does not cause
a panic, however it does result in different behavior in the
ioctl routine when you are using a module vs static, and I
think the behavior should be the same.

Remove unnecessary clean target in em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4).
While here also remove man target in igb(4).

Add new source to the loadable em build, thought
it wasnt needed but it is.


205869 29-Mar-2010 jfv

Update to igb and em:

em revision 7.0.0:
- Using driver devclass, seperate legacy (pre-pcie) code
into a seperate source file. This will at least help
protect against regression issues. It compiles along
with em, and is transparent to end use, devices in each
appear to be 'emX'. When using em in a modular form this
also allows the legacy stuff to be defined out.
- Add tx and rx rings as in igb, in the 82574 this becomes
actual multiqueue for the first time (2 queues) while in
other PCIE adapters its just make code cleaner.
- Add RX mbuf handling logic that matches igb, this will
eliminate packet drops due to temporary mbuf shortage.

igb revision 1.9.3:
- Following the ixgbe code, use a new approach in what
was called 'get_buf', the routine now has been made
independent of rxeof, it now does the update to the
engine TDT register, this design allows temporary
mbuf resources to become non-critical, not requiring
a packet to be discarded, instead it just returns and
does not increment the tail pointer.
- With the above change it was also unnecessary to keep
'spare' maps around, since we do not have the discard
issue.
- Performance tweaks and improvements to the code also.

Change to build module with new directory tree

MFC after:ASAP


178523 25-Apr-2008 jfv

This delta has a few important items:

PR 122839 is fixed in both em and in igb

Second, the issue on building modules since the static kernel
build changes is now resolved. I was not able to get the fancier
directory hierarchy working, but this works, both em and igb
build as modules now.

Third, there is now support in em for two new NICs, Hartwell
(or 82574) is a low cost PCIE dual port adapter that has MSIX,
for this release it uses 3 vectors only, RX, TX, and LINK. In
the next release I will add a second TX and RX queue. Also, there
is support here for ICH10, the followon to ICH9. Both of these are
early releases, general availability will follow soon.

Fourth: On Hartwell and ICH10 we now have IEEE 1588 PTP support,
I have implemented this in a provisional way so that early adopters
may try and comment on the functionality. The IOCTL structure may
change. This feature is off by default, you need to edit the Makefile
and add the EM_TIMESYNC define to get the code.

Enjoy all!!


177867 02-Apr-2008 jfv

This update primarily addresses the ability to have both the em
and the igb driver static in the kernel. But it also reflects
some other bug fixes in my development stream at Intel.
PR 122373 is also fixed in this code.

Remove option headers that do not exist and are not used
from the Makefiles in sys/modules.

176667 29-Feb-2008 jfv

This change introduces a split to the Intel E1000 driver, now rather than
just em, there is an igb driver (this follows behavior with our Linux drivers).
All adapters up to the 82575 are supported in em, and new client/desktop support
will continue to be in that adapter.

The igb driver is for new server NICs like the 82575 and its followons.
Advanced features for virtualization and performance will be in this driver.

Also, both drivers now have shared code that is up to the latest we have
released. Some stylistic changes as well.

Enjoy :)

Fix kldloading if_em by compiling missing source file.

Place a '#' at the front of the line holding a $FreeBSD$ ID tag. While
it actually compiles without this, it's still a good idea.


169243 04-May-2007 jfv

Absolute pathname in the Makefile was broken, this
version should work correctly.


169240 04-May-2007 jfv

Merge in the new driver (6.5.0) of Intel. This has a new
shared code infrastructure that is family specific and
modular. There is also support for our latest gigabit
nic, the 82575 that is MSI/X and multiqueue capable.

The new shared code changes some interfaces to the core
code but testing at Intel has been going on for months,
it is fairly stable.

I have attempted to be careful in retaining any fixes that
CURRENT had and we did not, I apologize in advance if any
thing gets clobbered, I'm sure I'll hear about it :)
