Fix various NIC drivers to properly cleanup static DMA resources. In particular, don't check the value of the bus_dma map against NULL to determine if either bus_dmamem_alloc() or bus_dmamap_load() succeeded. Instead, assume that bus_dmamap_load() succeeeded (and thus that bus_dmamap_unload() should be called) if the bus address for a resource is non-zero, and assume that bus_dmamem_alloc() succeeded (and thus that bus_dmamem_free() should be called) if the virtual address for a resource is not NULL.
In many cases these bugs could result in leaks when a driver was detached.

- There's no need to overwrite the default device method with the default one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time (bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9) since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily. Discussed with: jhb, marcel - While at it, use DEVMETHOD_END. Discussed with: jhb - Also while at it, use __FBSDID.

Rework link establishment and link state detection logic. - Remove MIIBUS statchg callback and program VGE_DIAGCTL before initiating link establishment. Previously driver used to program VGE_DIAGCTL after getting a link in statchg callback. It seems the VGE_DIAGCTL register works like a kind of MII register such that it requires setting a 'to be' mode in advance rather than relying on resolved speed/duplex of established link. This means the statchg callback is not needed in driver. In addition, if there was no link at the time of media change, this was not called at all. - Introduce vge_ifmedia_upd_locked() to change current media to configured one. Actual media change is performed only after PHY reset and VGE_DIAGCTL setup. - In WOL configuration, make sure to clear forced mode such that controller can rely on auto-negotiation. - Unlike most other drivers that use miibus(4), vge(4) used controller's auto-polling feature for link state tracking via interrupt. This came from controller's inefficient mechanism to access MII registers. On link state change interrupt, vge(4) used to get current link state with series of MII register accesses. Because vge(4) already enabled auto polling, read PHY status register to resolved speed/duplex/flow control parameters.
vge(4) still does not drive MII_TICK to reduce number of MII register accesses which in turn means the driver does not know the status of auto-negotiation. This was a one of long standing issue of vge(4). Probably driver may be able to implement a timer that keeps track of auto-negotiation state and restart auto-negotiation when driver couldn't establish a link within a specified period. However the controller does not provide a reliable way to detect auto-negotiation failure so I'm not sure whether it's worth to implement it in driver.
Alternatively driver can completely disable MII auto-polling and let miibus(4) poll link state by driving MII_TICK. This may reduce unnecessary overhead of stopping/restarting MII auto-polling of controller. Unfortunately it was known that some variants of controller does not work correctly if MII auto-polling is disabled.

Convert the PHY drivers to honor the mii_flags passed down and convert the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For the most part these were: - Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired address(es) instead. - PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe()) and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

Disable jumbo frame support for PCIe VT6130/VT6132 controllers. Quite contrary to VT6130 datasheet which says it supports up to 8K jumbo frame, VT6130 does not seem to send jumbo frame that is larger than 4K in length. Trying to send a frame that is larger than 4K cause TX MAC hang. Even though it's possible to allow 4K jumbo frame for VT6130, I think it's meaningless to allow 4K jumbo frame. I'm not sure VT6132 also has the same limitation but I guess it uses the same MAC of VT6130.

Overhaul bus_dma(9) usage and fix various things. o Separate TX/RX buffer DMA tag from TX/RX descriptor ring DMA tag. o Separate RX buffer DMA tag from common buffer DMA tag. RX DMA tag has different restriction compared to TX DMA tag. o Add 40bit DMA address support. o Adjust TX/RX descriptor ring alignment to 64 bytes from 256 bytes as documented in datasheet. o Added check to ensure TX/RX ring reside within a 4GB boundary. Since TX/RX ring shares the same high address register they should have the same high address. o TX/RX side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support. o Add lock assertion to vge_setmulti(). o Add RX spare DMA map to recover from DMA map load failure. o Add optimized RX buffer handler, vge_discard_rxbuf which is activated when vge(4) sees bad frames. o Don't blindly update VGE_RXDESC_RESIDUECNT register. Datasheet says the register should be updated only when number of available RX descriptors are multiple of 4. o Use __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT instead of defining VGE_FIXUP_RX which is only set for i386 architecture. Previously vge(4) also performed expensive copy operation to align IP header on amd64. This change should give RX performance boost on amd64 architecture. o Don't reinitialize controller if driver is already running. This should reduce number of link state flipping. o Since vge(4) drops a driver lock before passing received frame to upper layer, make sure vge(4) is still running after re-acquiring driver lock. o Add second argument count to vge_rxeof(). The argument will limit number of packets could be processed in RX handler. o Rearrange vge_rxeof() not to allocate RX buffer if received frame was bad packet. o Removed if_printf that prints DMA map failure. This type of message shouldn't be used in fast path of driver. o Reduce number of allowed TX buffer fragments to 6 from 7. A TX descriptor allows 7 fragments of a frame. However the CMZ field of descriptor has just 3bits and the controller wants to see fragment + 1 in the field. So if we have 7 fragments the field value would be 0 which seems to cause unexpected results under certain conditions. This change should fix occasional TX hang observed on vge(4). o Simplify vge_stat_locked() and add number of available TX descriptor check. o vge(4) controllers lack padding short frames. Make sure to fill zero for the padded bytes. This closes unintended information disclosure. o Don't set VGE_TDCTL_JUMBO flag. Datasheet is not clear whether this bit should be set by driver or write-back status bit after transmission. At least vendor's driver does not set this bit so remove it. Without this bit vge(4) still can send jumbo frames. o Don't start driver when vge(4) know there are not enough RX buffers. o Remove volatile keyword in RX descriptor structure. This should be handled by bus_dma(9). o Collapse two 16bits member of TX/RX descriptor into single 32bits member. o Reduce number of RX descriptors to 252 from 256. The VGE_RXDESCNUM is 16bits register but only lower 8bits are valid. So the maximum number of RX descriptors would be 255. However the number of should be multiple of 4 as controller wants to update 4 RX descriptors at a time. This limits the maximum number of RX descriptor to be 252.

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/ IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list.

When user_frac in the polling subsystem is low it is going to busy the CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available. In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to change, returning the number of packets processed. While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

Fix the hardware VLAN tagging. TX was broken on little-endian machines and both TX and RX were broken on big-endian machines.
The chip design is crazy -- on RX, it puts the 16-bit VLAN tag in network byte order (big-endian) in the 32-bit little-endian register!
Thanks to John Baldwin for helping me document this change! ;-)

- Store pointer to the link-level address right in "struct ifnet" rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom", and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted to use IF_LLADDR() instead.

Big polling(4) cleanup.
o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler. This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes: - Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not needed now. - Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags. - Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally. - Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers. - In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx. - In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers to unregister. - In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any handlers are present. - In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert that arguments are correct, instead. - In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of error or success. - Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable. poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling. A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes: - On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but not in if_capenable. - On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled. - In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns. - In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts. - In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable. If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious interrupts.

Make sure that we call if_free(ifp) after bus_teardown_intr. Since we could get an interrupt after we free the ifp, and the interrupt handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory, cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to after the bus_teardown_intr() call.

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued; some less so.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Reading the EEPROM to learn the station address doesn't seem to work on boards with VIA gigE controllers that are embedded in VIA chipsets. Presumably, they don't have an external EEPROM and store the MAC address somewhere else. To get around this, force an autoload and read the station address from the RX filter registers instead. This has been tested to work on both embedded and standalone controllers.

Add device driver support for the VIA Networking Technologies VT6122 gigabit ethernet chip and integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY. The vge driver has been added to GENERIC for i386, pc98 and amd64, but not to sparc or ia64 since I don't have the ability to test it there. The vge(4) driver supports VLANs, checksum offload and jumbo frames.
Also added the lge(4) and nge(4) drivers to GENERIC for i386 and pc98 since I was in the neighborhood. There's no reason to leave them out anymore.
