Fix build issue and incompatibilites introduced by r283620.

- Re-introduce "device ixgbe" option for kernel configs. This allows
users to continue using existing kernel configurations, while still
letting if_ix and if_ixv exist to allow ifconfig magic to work.
Though the amd64 GENERIC config has "device ix" and "device ixv" instead of
"device ixgbe".

This is achieved by making the if_ixgbe module a stub that depends
on if_ix and if_ixv.

- Replace if_baudrate assignment with if_initbaudrate() call.

Thanks to jhb@ for the stub module suggestion and pointing out the if_baudrate
error.

MFC r271649 - Disable flow-director support until it's been debugged
and verified.

The flowdirector feature shares on-chip memory with other things
such as the RX buffers. In theory it should be configured in a way
that doesn't interfere with the rest of operation. In practice,
the RX buffer calculation didn't take the flow-director allocation
into account and there'd be overlap. This lead to various garbage
frames being received containing what looks like internal NIC state.

What _I_ saw was traffic ending up in the wrong RX queues.
If I was doing a UDP traffic test with only one NIC ring receiving
traffic, everything is fine. If I fired up a second UDP stream
which came in on another ring, there'd be a few percent of traffic
from both rings ending up in the wrong ring. Ie, the RSS hash would
indicate it was supposed to come in ring X, but it'd come in ring Y.

However, when the allocation was fixed up, the developers at Verisign
still saw traffic stalls.

The flowdirector feature ends up fiddling with the NIC to do various
attempts at load balancing connections by populating flow table rules
based on sampled traffic. It's likely that all of that has to be
carefully reviewed and made less "magic".

So for now the flow director feature is disabled (which fixes both
what I was seeing and what they were seeing) until it's all much
more debugged and verified.

Tested:

* (me) 82599EB 2x10G NIC, RSS UDP testing.
* (verisign) not sure on the NIC (but likely 82599), 100k-200k/sec TCP
transaction tests.

Add quad port probe support, this gives the admin proper information about the slot
(which should be a PCIE Gen 3 slot for this adapter) by looking back thru the PCI
parent devices to the slot device.

The fix above also corrects the bandwidth display to GT/s rather than the
incorrect Gb/s

Next, allow the use of ALTQ if you select the compile option IXGBE_LEGACY_TX.

Allow the use of 'unsupported' optic modules by a compile option as well.

Add a phy reset capability into the stop code, this is so a static configured
driver will still behave properly when taken down (not being able to unload it).

This revision synchronizes the shared code with Intel internal current code,
and note that it now includes DCB supporting code, this was necessitated by
some internal changes with the code, but it also will provide the opportunity
to develop this feature in the core driver down the road.

I have edited the README to get rid of some of the worse anachronisms in it
as well, its by no means as robust as I might wish at this point however.

Oh, I also have included some conditional stuff in the code so it will be
compatible in both the 9.X and 10 environments.

Performance has been a focus in recent changes and I believe this revision
driver will perform very well in most workloads.

New hardware support: Intel X540 adapter support added.
Some shared code reorganization along with the new adapter.
Sync changes to OACTIVE in igb into this driver.
Misc small fixes.


215911 26-Nov-2010 jfv

Update ixgbe driver to verion 2.3.6
- This adds a VM SRIOV interface, ixv, it is however
transparent to the user, it links with the ixgbe.ko,
but when ixgbe is loaded in a virtualized guest with
SRIOV configured this will be detected.
- Sync shared code to latest
- Many bug fixes and improvements, thanks to everyone
who has been using the driver and reporting issues.

While here also remove man target in igb(4).

Update the driver to Intel version 2.1.6
- add some new hardware support for 82599
- Big change to interrupt architecture, it now
uses a queue which contains an RX/TX pair as
the recipient of the interrupt. This will reduce
overall system interrupts/msix usage.
- Improved RX mbuf handling: the old get_buf routine
is no longer synchronized with rxeof, this allows
the elimination of packet discards due to mbuf
allocation failure.
- Much simplified and improved AIM code, it now
happens in the queue interrupt context and takes
into account both the traffic on the RX AND TX
side.
- variety of small tweaks, like ring size, that have
been seen as performance improvements.
- Thanks to those that provided feedback or suggested
changes, I hope I've caught all of them.

newest hardware, adds multiqueue tx interface, infrastructure
cleanup to allow up to 32 MSIX vectors on newer Nehalem systems.

This is driver version 1.4.4 of the Intel ixgbe driver.
-It has new hardware support
-It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back
-It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed
by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into
the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here.
-Also bug fixes and etc...

MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.

This is an update to the new Intel 10G 82598 driver.
The first drop was Beta, this code is expected to be the release version.
Note that this driver code will build in either 6.2 or 7. If you
use the code in 6.2 you will not get TSO or MSI/X support but it will
function in a legacy mode.
