Give (*ext_free) an int return value allowing for very sophisticated

For now only EXT_FREE_OK is defined with current legacy behavior.

Add an mbuf pointer parameter to (*ext_free) to give the external
free function access to the mbuf the external memory was attached
to.

Mechanically adjust all users to include the mbuf parameter.

This fixes a long standing annoyance for external free functions.
Before one had to sacrifice one of the argument pointers for this.

242625 05-Nov-2012 dim

Remove duplicate const specifiers in many drivers (I hope I got all of
them, please let me know if not). Most of these are of the form:

static const struct bzzt_type {
[...list of members...]
} const bzzt_devs[] = {
[...list of initializers...]
};

The second const is unnecessary, as arrays cannot be modified anyway,
and if the elements are const, the whole thing is const automatically
(e.g. it is placed in .rodata).

I have verified this does not change the binary output of a full kernel
build (except for build timestamps embedded in the object files).

Close a race where SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl get inconsistent link status.
Because driver is accessing a common MII structure in
mii_pollstat(), updating user supplied structure should be done
before dropping a driver lock.

- Remove attempts to implement setting of BMCR_LOOP/MIIF_NOLOOP
(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
attach a miibus(4) instance.
Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

Give MEXTADD() another argument to make both void pointers to the
free function controlable, instead of passing the KVA of the buffer
storage as the first argument.

Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.

Likely break the only non-convetional user of the API, after informing
the relevant committer.

Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on
this point.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how
many arguments a CPP macro needs any other way.

This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the
passed storage to have been accessed before returning.

This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

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

ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This

maintaining the interface flags field.

147256 10-Jun-2005 brooks

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.

All current uses of pci_set_powerstate are bogus, at least in theory.

Change m_devget()'s outdated and unused `offset' argument to actually mean
something: offset into the first mbuf of the target chain before copying
the source data over.

Make drivers using m_devget() with a first argument "data - ETHER_ALIGN"
to use the offset argument to pass ETHER_ALIGN in. The way it was previously
done is potentially dangerous if the source data was at the top of a page
and the offset caused the previous page to be copied (if the
previous page has not yet been appropriately mapped).

The old `offset' argument in m_devget() is not used anywhere (it's always
0) and dates back to ~1995 (and earlier?) when support for ethernet trailers
existed. With that support gone, it was merely collecting dust.
