Overhaul bus_dma(9) usage and fix various things.
o Separate TX/RX buffer DMA tag from TX/RX descriptor ring DMA tag.
o Separate RX buffer DMA tag from common buffer DMA tag. RX DMA
tag has different restriction compared to TX DMA tag.
o Add 40bit DMA address support.
o Adjust TX/RX descriptor ring alignment to 64 bytes from 256
bytes as documented in datasheet.
o Added check to ensure TX/RX ring reside within a 4GB boundary.
Since TX/RX ring shares the same high address register they
should have the same high address.
o TX/RX side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support.
o Add lock assertion to vge_setmulti().
o Add RX spare DMA map to recover from DMA map load failure.
o Add optimized RX buffer handler, vge_discard_rxbuf which is
activated when vge(4) sees bad frames.
o Don't blindly update VGE_RXDESC_RESIDUECNT register. Datasheet
says the register should be updated only when number of
available RX descriptors are multiple of 4.
o Use __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT instead of defining VGE_FIXUP_RX which
is only set for i386 architecture. Previously vge(4) also
performed expensive copy operation to align IP header on amd64.
This change should give RX performance boost on amd64
architecture.
o Don't reinitialize controller if driver is already running. This
should reduce number of link state flipping.
o Since vge(4) drops a driver lock before passing received frame
to upper layer, make sure vge(4) is still running after
re-acquiring driver lock.
o Add second argument count to vge_rxeof(). The argument will
limit number of packets could be processed in RX handler.
o Rearrange vge_rxeof() not to allocate RX buffer if received
frame was bad packet.
o Removed if_printf that prints DMA map failure. This type of
message shouldn't be used in fast path of driver.
o Reduce number of allowed TX buffer fragments to 6 from 7. A TX
descriptor allows 7 fragments of a frame. However the CMZ field
of descriptor has just 3bits and the controller wants to see
fragment + 1 in the field. So if we have 7 fragments the field
value would be 0 which seems to cause unexpected results under
certain conditions. This change should fix occasional TX hang
observed on vge(4).
o Simplify vge_stat_locked() and add number of available TX
descriptor check.
o vge(4) controllers lack padding short frames. Make sure to fill
zero for the padded bytes. This closes unintended information
disclosure.
o Don't set VGE_TDCTL_JUMBO flag. Datasheet is not clear whether
this bit should be set by driver or write-back status bit after
transmission. At least vendor's driver does not set this bit so
remove it. Without this bit vge(4) still can send jumbo frames.
o Don't start driver when vge(4) know there are not enough RX
buffers.
o Remove volatile keyword in RX descriptor structure. This should
be handled by bus_dma(9).
o Collapse two 16bits member of TX/RX descriptor into single 32bits
member.
o Reduce number of RX descriptors to 252 from 256. The
VGE_RXDESCNUM is 16bits register but only lower 8bits are valid.
So the maximum number of RX descriptors would be 255. However
the number of should be multiple of 4 as controller wants to
update 4 RX descriptors at a time. This limits the maximum
number of RX descriptor to be 252.

Several fixes to this driver:
- Overhaul the locking to avoid recursion and add missing locking in a few
places.
- Don't schedule a task to call vge_start() from contexts that are safe to
call vge_start() directly. Just invoke the routine directly instead
(this is what all of the other NIC drivers I am familiar with do). Note
that vge(4) does not use an interrupt filter handler which is the primary
reason some other drivers use tasks.
- Add a new private timer to drive the watchdog timer instead of using
if_watchdog and if_timer.
- Fixup detach by calling ether_ifdetach() before stopping the interface.

Use the bus_*() routines rather than bus_space_*() for register operations.

Use device_printf() and if_printf() instead of printf() with an explicit
unit number and remove 'unit' members from softc.

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.

Add device driver support for the VIA Networking Technologies
VT6122 gigabit ethernet chip and integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY.
The vge driver has been added to GENERIC for i386, pc98 and amd64,
but not to sparc or ia64 since I don't have the ability to test
it there. The vge(4) driver supports VLANs, checksum offload and
jumbo frames.

Also added the lge(4) and nge(4) drivers to GENERIC for i386 and
pc98 since I was in the neighborhood. There's no reason to leave them
out anymore.
