anyway, take advantage of this and greatly simplify the programming
of the multicast filter. This solves the last reported "device timeout"
problem with this driver.
to the EPIC/100 driver's (adjusting for the fact that Intel Ethernet chips
are from Pluto):
* Don't allocate receive buffers until the interface is actually brought
up, and release all of them if the interface is taken down.
* Add a knob (defaults to off) which will copy an incoming packet to
a single header mbuf if it is small enough to fit in one, rather than
burning an entire cluster on it. Note that this change will be mostly
moot if/when sbcompress() is changed to handle compressing clusters.
Simplify some of the receive list logic:
* Rather than using a homegrown queue and additional software RX descriptors,
use an ifqueue to queue receive buffers, and M_{GET,SET}CTX() to hook DMA
maps and receive buffers together.
Clean up a bit:
* Macroize a bunch of things to make the code a bit easier to follow.
