single outstanding DMA read operation. Most controllers targeted to
client with PCIe bus interface(e.g. BCM5761) may have this
limitation. All controllers for servers does not have this
limitation.
Collapsing mbuf chains to reduce number of memory reads before
transmitting was most effective way to workaround this. I got about
940Mbps from 850Mbps with mbuf collapsing on BCM5761. However it
takes a lot of CPU cycles to collapse mbuf chains so add tunable to
control the number of allowed TX buffers before collapsing. The
default value is 0 which effectively disables the forced collapsing.
For most cases 2 would yield best performance(about 930Mbps)
without much sacrificing CPU cycles.
Note the collapsing is only activated when the controller is on
PCIe bus and the frame does not need TSO operation. TSO does not
seem to suffer from the hardware limitation because the payload
size is much bigger than normal IP datagram.
Thanks to davidch@ who told me the limitation of client controllers
and actually gave possible workarounds to mitigate the limitation.

- Instead of measuring last request execution time for each drive and
choosing one with smallest time, use averaged number of requests, running
on each drive. This information is more accurate and timely. It allows to
distribute load between drives in more even and predictable way.
- For each drive track offset of the last submitted request. If new request
offset matches previous one or close for some drive, prefer that drive.
It allows to significantly speedup simultaneous sequential reads.

Previously the failing operation would allocate an mbuf and construct an
error reply, but because the function did not return 0, the NFS server
assumed it had failed to generate a reply and would leak the reply mbuf as
well as not sending the reply to the NFS client.

X-ToDo: drop the default case
Memory accesses are posted in program order by virtue of the
uncacheable memory attribute.
Since GCC, by default, adds acquire and release semantics to
volatile memory loads and stores, we need to use inline assembly
to guarantee it. With inline assembly, we don't need volatile
pointers anymore.
Itanium does not support semaphore instructions to uncacheable
memory.
(gcc 4.x under linux, not sure how real is the complaint).

- add the macro name on a couple of #endif
- add a blank line for readability.

This commit shifts message logging priorities to a more sane default.

When the termios CREAD flag is not set, it makes little sense to
allocate an input buffer. Just set the size to 0 in this case to reduce
memory footprint.
Disallow CREAD to be disabled for pseudo-devices to prevent
foot-shooting.
config(8) doesn't parse parantheses and instead treated them as being

The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally

against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
