  (bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
  since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

<title>- Remove attempts to implement setting of BMCR_LOOP/MIIF_NOLOOP</title>

  (reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
  it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
  was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
  loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
  be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
  mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
  obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
  development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
  though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
  support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
  did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
  instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
  a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
  always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
  interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
  This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
  generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
  routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
  redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii-&gt;mii_instance not being
  zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
  as one PHY driver attaches mii-&gt;mii_instance is incremented and we
  hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
  has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
  attach a miibus(4) instance.
  Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
  directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
  The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
  a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
  optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
  supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
  has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
  along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
  and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
  advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
  changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
  PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
  handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
  arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
  for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
  structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
  attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
  NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
  mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
  as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
  appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
  when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
  miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
  largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
  9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
  weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
  unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
  it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
  changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
  addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
  address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
  off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
  parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
  via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
  brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
  what can be expressed with simple flags.

While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs.  This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

Also don't try to process frames when driver is not running.

 o Removed unneeded header files.
 o bus_dma(9) fix:
   - created parent tag with 1GB dma address limit with no
     alignment restrictions.
   - set 4096 alignment limit for Tx/Rx descriptor rings.
   - separate Rx buffer tag from Tx buffer tag such that Tx tag
     allows up-to 16 segments while Rx buffer tag only allows
     single segment.
   - it seems the controller has no alignment restrictions on Tx/Rx
     buffers. Remove ETHER_ALIGN alignment restriction in Tx/Rx
     buffers.
   - created a spare Rx dma map which would be used to cope with
     failure of loading a dma map.
   - make sure to load full Tx/Rx descriptor size for Tx/Rx
     descriptor dma maps, previously bfe(4) used to load single
     descriptor size for each descriptor rings. I have no idea how
     it could be run without problems.
   - don't blindly cast bus_addr_t type to 32bits in bfe_dma_map().
   - created bfe_dma_free() to free allocated dma memory/tags.
   - make sure to invoke bus_dmamap_sync(9) before/after processing
     descriptor rings/buffers. Because the hardware has severe dma
     address space limitation, bounce-buffers would be always used
     on systems with more than 1GB memory during
     descriptors/buffers access.
   - added Tx descriptor ring initialization function,
     bfe_list_tx_init().
   - moved producer/consumer index initialization to
     bfe_list_tx_init() and bfe_list_rx_init() from
     bfe_chip_reset().
   - added bfe_discard_buf() which will update loaded descriptors
     without unloading/reloading the dma map to speed up error
     recovery.
   - implemented Tx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9). The number of
     segments allowed was chosen to be 16 which should be enough for
     non-TSO capable hardwares. Setting SOF bit of Tx descriptor is
     done in the last to avoid potential race.
   - don't give up sending frames in bfe_start() until the hardware
     lacks free descriptors.
   - added XXX comment to second kick command and possible workaround.
   - implemented Rx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9).
   - removed bfe_dma_map_desc() as it's not needed anymore after
     the conversion to bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9).
   - added endianness support. With this change bfe(4) should work
     on any architectures that can create bounce buffers within 1GB
     address range.
   - add missing bus_dmamap_sync() in bfe_tx_eof()/bfe_rx_eof().
 o Use PCI_BAR instead of hardcoded value to set BARs.
   Simplified register access with bus_write_4(9)/bus_read_4(9) and
   removed bfe_btag, bfe_bhandle, bfe_vhandle in softc as it's not
   used anymore.
 o Reorder device detach logic such that bfe_detach() is also used
   for handling driver attach failure case.
 o Remove unnecessary KASSERT in bfe_detach().
 o Remove bfe_rx_cnt, bfe_up, bfe_vpd_prodname, bfe_vpd_readonly in
   softc.  It's not used at all.
 o Remove BFE_RX_RING_SIZE/BFE_RX_RING_SIZE/BFE_LINK_DOWN.
