Do not initialize the adapter on MTU change when adapter status is down.
This fixes long-standing problems when changing settings of the adapter.

# 294327 19-Jan-2016 hselasky

Add optimizing LRO wrapper:

- Add optimizing LRO wrapper which pre-sorts all incoming packets
according to the hash type and flowid. This prevents exhaustion of
the LRO entries due to too many connections at the same time.
Testing using a larger number of higher bandwidth TCP connections
showed that the incoming ACK packet aggregation rate increased from
~1.3:1 to almost 3:1. Another test showed that for a number of TCP
connections greater than 16 per hardware receive ring, where 8 TCP
connections was the LRO active entry limit, there was a significant
improvement in throughput due to being able to fully aggregate more
than 8 TCP stream. For very few very high bandwidth TCP streams, the
optimizing LRO wrapper will add CPU usage instead of reducing CPU
usage. This is expected. Network drivers which want to use the
optimizing LRO wrapper needs to call "tcp_lro_queue_mbuf()" instead
of "tcp_lro_rx()" and "tcp_lro_flush_all()" instead of
"tcp_lro_flush()". Further the LRO control structure must be
initialized using "tcp_lro_init_args()" passing a non-zero number
into the "lro_mbufs" argument.

- Make LRO statistics 64-bit. Previously 32-bit integers were used for
statistics which can be prone to wrap-around. Fix this while at it
and update all SYSCTL's which expose LRO statistics.

- Ensure all data is freed when destroying a LRO control structures,
especially leftover LRO entries.

- Reduce number of memory allocations needed when setting up a LRO
control structure by precomputing the total amount of memory needed.

- Add own memory allocation counter for LRO.

- Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all KLDs due to
change of the LRO control structure size.

Fix igxbe SRIOV VF (if_ixv) initialization bugs. The MAC address for
an if_ixv instance can now set at creation time, and the receive ring
tail pointer is correctly initialized (previously, things still worked
because the receive ring tail pointer was being fixed up as a side
effect of other activity).

Delta D2489 - Add SRIOV support to the Intel 10G driver.

NOTE: This is a technology preview, while it has undergone
development testing, Intel has not yet completed full
validation of the feature. It is being integrated for
early access and customer testing.

# 282289 30-Apr-2015 erj

Add support for certain Intel X550 devices.

These include standalone X550 adapters, X552 10GbE backplane, and
X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T; with the latter two being integrated into Xeon D SoCs.

As well, this bumps the ixgbe version number to 2.8.3, and includes updates
to shared code for support for the new devices.

# 280228 18-Mar-2015 jfv

Fix i386 LINT build issues, and remove unused variable.


# 280204 18-Mar-2015 adrian

Fix ixgbe(4) to compile - with RSS; with ix+ixv in the kernel.

* Fix the multiple same-named devclasses; the duplicate name
trips up the linker.

* Re-do the taskqueue stuff to use the new cpuset API, not the old
pinned API.

* Add includes for the new location of the RSS configuration routines.

This allows ixgbe to compile as a module /and/ linked into the kernel,
along with RSS working.

# 280197 17-Mar-2015 jfv

Resolve a few build issues, add module directories back into Makefile,
then correct a NETMAP problem resulting from the split, and finally
temporarily disable the X550 functionality.


# 280182 17-Mar-2015 jfv

Update to the Intel ixgbe driver:
- Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
two parts, making for easier sustaining.
- Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
will eliminate that problem.
- The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
has been requested for some time.
- Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
- It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
or the other for streamlined installs, or both.

Enjoy!
