This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).
[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
WITH_CTF=yes").
Additional (related) changes:
- propagate WITH_CTF to module builds
- do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway
(at least according to the man page of ld)
- do not add -g to CFLAGS unconditionally
we need to have a look if it is really needed (IMO not) or if there
is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used
Note: ctfconvert / ctfmerge lines will not appear in the build output,
to protect the innocent (those which do not build with WITH_CTF would
see the shell-test and may think WITH_CTF is used).

em revision 7.0.0:
- Using driver devclass, seperate legacy (pre-pcie) code
into a seperate source file. This will at least help
protect against regression issues. It compiles along
with em, and is transparent to end use, devices in each
appear to be 'emX'. When using em in a modular form this
also allows the legacy stuff to be defined out.
- Add tx and rx rings as in igb, in the 82574 this becomes
actual multiqueue for the first time (2 queues) while in
other PCIE adapters its just make code cleaner.
- Add RX mbuf handling logic that matches igb, this will
eliminate packet drops due to temporary mbuf shortage.
igb revision 1.9.3:
- Following the ixgbe code, use a new approach in what
was called 'get_buf', the routine now has been made
independent of rxeof, it now does the update to the
engine TDT register, this design allows temporary
mbuf resources to become non-critical, not requiring
a packet to be discarded, instead it just returns and
does not increment the tail pointer.
- With the above change it was also unnecessary to keep
'spare' maps around, since we do not have the discard
issue.
- Performance tweaks and improvements to the code also.

and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This
also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows
ports of ipfw and dummynet.
The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of
dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms
(loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner
internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies
future extensions.
In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include
a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new,
very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ.
Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that
lets you build and test schedulers in userland.
Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests
from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries,
and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you
just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer).
The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a
relatively short time.
Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable,
and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be
fixed with separate commits.
CREDITS:
This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and
mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself.
The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi,
and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing,
debugging and some bug fixes.
Enhanced process coredump routines.
This brings in the following features:
1) Limit number of cores per process via the %I coredump formatter.
Example:
if corefilename is set to %N.%I.core AND num_cores = 3, then
if a process "rpd" cores, then the corefile will be named
"rpd.0.core", however if it cores again, then the kernel will
generate "rpd.1.core" until we hit the limit of "num_cores".
this is useful to get several corefiles, but also prevent filling
the machine with corefiles.
2) Encode machine hostname in core dump name via %H.
3) Compress coredumps, useful for embedded platforms with limited space.
A sysctl kern.compress_user_cores is made available if turned on.
To enable compressed coredumps, the following config options need to be set:
options COMPRESS_USER_CORES
device zlib # brings in the zlib requirements.
device gzio # brings in the kernel vnode gzip output module.
4) Eventhandlers are fired to indicate coredumps in progress.
5) The imgact sv_coredump routine has grown a flag to pass in more
state, currently this is used only for passing a flag down to compress
the coredump or not.
Note that the gzio facility can be used for generic output of gzip'd
streams via vnodes.

This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.

This card is a low power 802.11bgn that only does 11n rates up to MCS 7
(that's 65 Mbps in 20Mhz mode and 135 in 40Mhz mode).
802.11n is not yet supported, but will be in the future.
The driver still has a problem regarding to the setting of txpower on
the card, so don't expect good performance yet. After fixing this
problem, an MFC is possible.
