Add a sysctl 'machdep.cs_recv_delay' to specify how long to wait after
receiving a packet in order to check for a subsequent (back-to-back)
packet. The cs8900 has a very small receive buffer, so this helps avoid
overflows at the cost of some extra CPU overhead.

We do the same thing we do with all the other Vadem chips and print the
right identification for these chips. Tested with the 365, and inferred
for the 465.
This allows the cheapo PCMCIA card that I got from necx to print the right
chip number on boot.
Add some overflow checks to read/write (from bde).
Change all modifications to vm_page::flags, vm_page::busy, vm_object::flags
and vm_object::paging_in_progress to use operations which are not
interruptable.

Don't pretend to support gcc-[3-infinity].
Added __printf0like(). Feature tests for the __printf0__ feature
are problematic, so this can't be used for the err() family yet
- it's only in recent versions of FreeBSD's hacked version of gcc.
Added comments about __unused and __*like().

of associated mbuf clusters) in the RX ring from 4 to 16. On my
really fast PI 400Mhz test machines, 4 descriptors (and associated
mbuf clusters) is enough to achieve decent performance without any
RX overruns. However, one person reported problems with the following
scenario:
- P90 system running FreeBSD with a 3c905B-TX adapter, slow IDE hard
disk (Quantum Bigfoot?)
- PII 266 with SCSI disks running LoseNT and also with a 3c905B-TX
- Both machines connected together via crossover cable at 100Mbps
full-duplex
- LoseNT machine writing largs amounts of data (2.5 GB work of
files each in the neighborhood of 1 to 2 MB in size) via samba to
the FreeBSD machine
In this case, the LoseNT machine is sending data very fast. Apparently
there weren't any problems initially because the user was writing to
one particular disk which was relatively fast, however after this disk
filled up and the user started writing to the second slower disk, RX
overruns would occur and sometimes the RX DMA engine would stall after
a 100 to 500MB had been transfered. The xl_rxeof() handler is supposed
to detect this condition and restart the upload engine; I'm not sure
why it doesn't, unless interrupts are being lost and the rx handler
isn't getting called.
This is still an improvement over the Linux driver, which uses 32
descriptors in its receive ring. :)

'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
- The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
- The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
information and module summary passed in.
- PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
- i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
- The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.
On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
