- Initialize the ifnet structure, especially if_dname, before probing
  the PHYs as some PHY drivers use it (but probably shouldn't). How
  gem(4) has worked with brgphy(4) on powerpc without this so far is
  unclear to me.
- Call ether_ifdetach(9) before stopping the controller and the
  callouts. The consensus is that the latter is now safe to do and
  should also solve the problem of active BPF listeners clearing
  promiscuous mode can result in the tick callout being restarted
  which in turn will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- Introduce a dying flag which is set during detach and checked in
  gem_ioctl() in order to prevent active BPF listeners to clear
  promiscuous mode which may lead to the tick callout being restarted
  which will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- In gem_stop() reset rather than just disable the transmitter and
  receiver in order to ensure we're not unloading DMA maps still in
  use by the hardware. [1]
- The blanking time is specified in PCI clocks so we should use twice
  the value when operating at 66MHz.
- Spell some 2 as ETHER_ALIGN and a 19 as GEM_STATUS_TX_COMPLETION_SHFT
  to make the actual intentions clear.
- As we don't unload the peak attempts counter ignore its overflow
  interrupts.
- Remove a stale setting of a variable to GEM_TD_INTERRUPT_ME which
  isn't used afterwards.
- For optimum performance increment the TX kick register in multiples
  of 4 if possible as suggested by the documentation.
- Partially revert r164931; drivers should only clear the watchdog
  timer if all outstanding TX descriptors are done.
- Fix some debugging strings.
- Add a missing BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE in gem_rint().
- As the error paths in the interrupt handler are generally unlikely
  predict them as false.
- Add support for the SBus version of the GEM controller. [2]
- Add some lock assertions.
- Improve some comments.
- Fix some more or less cosmetic issues in the code of the PCI front-end.
- Change some softc members to be unsigned where more appropriate and
  remove unused ones.
