Timer notifications.
Timer notifications can be used for fine grained per-process time
management, since interval timers are very inconvenient to use,
and they are limited.
This subsystem uses high-resolution timers.
id.raw[0] is used as number of seconds
id.raw[1] is used as number of nanosec
Kevent posix timer notifications.
Simple extensions to POSIX timers which allows
to deliver notification of the timer expiration
through kevent queue.

Generic event handling mechanism.
Kevent is a generic subsytem which allows to handle event notifications.
It supports both level and edge triggered events. It is similar to
poll/epoll in some cases, but it is more scalable, it is faster and
allows to work with essentially eny kind of events.

The zd1211rw address space has confused me once too many times. This
patch introduces the following naming notation:
Memory space is split into segments (cr, fw, eeprom) and segments may
contain components (e.g. boot code inside eeprom). These names are
arbitrary and only for the description below
Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.
There are two ugly parts:
- fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
is dynamic based upo
Many of the registers written during ZD1211 HMAC initialization are
duplicated exactly for ZD1211B. Move the identical ones into a generic
part, and write the hardware-specific ones separately.

stresstesting we found that the fix does not add new regressions and
works around a TX hang spotted by several users.

Fix sizing of big_bytes in the case of vlan frames. The 4
VLAN_HLEN bytes were omitted, leading to sizing the big buffer
4 bytes smaller than it should be. Due to how rx buffers are
carved from pages, this was harmless for the common (9000, 1500)
byte MTUs, but could lead to data corruption for so
Hi Jeff,
The following 7 patches update/fix myri10ge:
1. indentation cleanups
2. add page-based skb routines
3. switch to page-based skb
4. drop contiguous skb routines
5. full vlan frame in small_bytes
6. fix big_bytes in case of vlan frames
7. update driver version to 1.1.0
#1 is independent, w
Drop the old routines that used the physically contigous skb now
that we use the physical pages. And rename myri10ge_page_rx_done()
to myri10ge_rx_done() as it was previously.
