MFC ixgbe cummulative patch from stable/8

2011-01-27T00:36:54+00:00

217712  Fix a couple of incorrect variable names in the sysctl code.
217713  - Panic on the 82598 adapter due to reading FCOE registers that don't exit
        - Make phy detection dynamic so adapters that support multiple types of
          media can be properly identified by the interface layer
        - Performance patch to the flow director (ixgbe_atr) code
        - Fix intermittent data corruption on the 82599
        - Add missing support code for buffer size and descriptors when doing
          jumbo frames, also add 16K cluster support.
        - Release RX lock when calling stack, this removes LOR problems.
217795  Remove TX_UNLOCK from the error path in local_timer, there is no LOCK
217796  Add missing case for Direct Attach 82598 in the dynamic phy detection
217797  Performance: don't run flow control shared code if nothing has changed

MFC of version 2.1.7 of the ixgbe driver.

2010-04-05T18:46:29+00:00

Update for the Intel 10G driver, this adds support for

2009-06-24T18:27:07+00:00

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

Update the ixgbe driver to 1.7.4, this includes support

2009-04-10T00:22:48+00:00

for the new 82599 adapter family, adds header split, and
many small fixes. The driver should now be added to the
GENERIC kernel.

MFC after: 2 weeks

Updated ixgbe driver - version 1.6.2

2008-11-26T23:41:18+00:00

-This version has header split, and as a result a number of
 aspects of the code have been improved/simplified.
- Interrupt handling refined for performance
- Many small bugs fixed along the way

MFC after: ASAP - in time for 7.1

This updates the ixgbe driver to Intel internal version 1.4.7

2008-07-30T18:15:18+00:00

	Shared code changes, core driver fixes, vlan event/filter support

Also Kip Macy's fix to allow any number of queues, thanks Kip!

This is driver version 1.4.4 of the Intel ixgbe driver.

2008-05-16T18:46:30+00:00

  -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.

2007-09-04T02:31:35+00:00

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.
