- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch,
unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports).
- we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch,
which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge
(minor tweaks still necessary).
A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap
to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration.
- the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to
something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable
attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel
openvswitch) directly on the netmap port.
The internal API used by device drivers does not change.
Userspace applications should be recompiled because we

Intel and Sharp flash power on with their blocks in a "locked" state.
Unlocked them before attempting to perform an erase or write action and
relock when the action is complete.
controller hardware most likely present on UHCI chipsets aswell. The
bug manifests itself when issuing isochronous transfers and bulk
transfers towards the same device simultaneously. From time to time it
happens that either the completion IRQ was missing or that the
completion IRQ was happening before the ITD/SITD was completely
written back to memory. The workaround assumes that double buffered
isochronous transfers are used, and that a second interrupt is
generated at the beginning of the next isochronous transfer to
complete the previous one. Possibly skipping the interrupt at the last
isochronous frame is possible, but will then break single buffered
isochronous transfers. For now we can live with some extra interrupts.

and if queue mechanism; also fix up (non-11n) TX fragment handling.
This may result in a bit of a performance drop for now but I plan on
debugging and resolving this at a later stage.
Whilst here, fix the transmit path so fragment transmission works.
The TX fragmentation handling is a bit more special. In order to
correctly transmit TX fragments, there's a bunch of corner cases that
need to be handled:
* They must be transmitted back to back, in the same order..
* .. ie, you need to hold the TX lock whilst transmitting this
set of fragments rather than interleaving it with other MSDUs
destined to other nodes;
* The length of the next fragment is required when transmitting, in
order to correctly set the NAV field in the current frame to the
length of the next frame; which requires ..
* .. that we know the transmit duration of the next frame, which ..
* .. requires us to set the rate of all fragments to the same length,
or make the decision up-front, etc.
To facilitate this, I've added a new ath_buf field to describe the
length of the next fragment. This avoids having to keep the mbuf
chain together. This used to work before my 11n TX path work because
the ath_tx_start() routine would be handed a single mbuf with m_nextpkt
pointing to the next frame, and that would be maintained all the way
up to when the duration calculation was done. This doesn't hold
true any longer - the actual queuing may occur at any point in the
future (think ath_node TID software queuing) so this information
needs to be maintained.
Right now this does work for non-11n frames but it doesn't at all
enforce the same rate control decision for all frames in the fragment.
I plan on fixing this in a followup commit.
RTS/CTS has the same issue, I'll look at fixing this in a subsequent
commit.
Finaly, 11n fragment support requires the driver to have fully
decided what the rate scenario setup is - including 20/40MHz,
short/long GI, STBC, LDPC, number of streams, etc. Right now that
decision is (currently) made _after_ the NAV field value is updated.
I'll fix all of this in subsequent commits.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA, transmitting 11abg fragments
* AR5416, STA, 11n fragments work but the NAV field is incorrect for
the reasons above.
TODO:
* It would be nice to be able to queue mbufs per-node and per-TID so
we can only queue ath_buf entries when it's time to assemble frames
to send to the hardware.
But honestly, we should just do that level of software queue management
in net80211 rather than ath(4), so I'm going to leave this alone for now.
* More thorough AP, mesh and adhoc testing.
* Ensure that net80211 doesn't hand us fragmented frames when A-MPDU has
been negotiated, as we can't do software retransmission of fragments.
* .. set CLRDMASK when transmitting fragments, just to ensure.

traffic.
When transmitting non-aggregate traffic, we need to keep the hardware
busy whilst transmitting or small bursts in txdone/tx latency will
kill us.
This restores non-aggregate iperf performance, especially when doing
TDMA.
Tested:
* AR5416<->AR5416, TDMA
* AR5416 STA <-> AR9280 AP
of course.)
There's a few things that needed to happen:
* In case someone decides to set the beacon transmission rate to be
at an MCS rate, use the MCS-aware version of the duration calculation
to figure out how long the received beacon frame was.
* If TxOP enforcing is available on the hardware and we're doing TDMA,
enable it after a reset and set the TDMA guard interval to zero.
This seems to behave fine.
TODO:
* Although I haven't yet seen packet loss, the PHY errors that would be
triggered (specifically Transmit-Override-Receive) aren't enabled
by the 11n HAL. I'll have to do some work to enable these PHY errors
for debugging.
What broke:
* My recent changes to the TX queue handling has resulted in the driver
not keeping the hardware queue properly filled when doing non-aggregate
traffic. I have a patch to commit soon which fixes this situation
(albeit by reminding me about how my ath driver locking isn't working
out, sigh.)
So if you want to test this without updating to the next set of patches
that I commit, just bump the sysctl dev.ath.X.hwq_limit from 2 to 32.
Tested:
* AR5416 <-> AR5416, with ampdu disabled, HT40, 5GHz, MCS12+Short-GI.

3. Common x86_init_fdt() called from hammer_time() on amd64 and
init386() on i386.
4. Split-off FDT specific low-level console functions from FDT
bus methods for the uart(4) driver. The low-level console
logic has been moved to uart_cpu_fdt.c and is used for arm,
mips & powerpc only. The FDT bus methods are shared across
all architectures.
5. Add dev/fdt/fdt_x86.c to hold the fdt_fixup_table[] and the
fdt_pic_table[] arrays. Both are empty right now.
FDT addresses are I/O ports on x86. Since the core FDT code does
not handle different address spaces, adding support for both I/O
ports and memory addresses requires some thought and discussion.
It may be better to use a compile-time option that controls this.
