An updated fxp driver patch for bundling receive interrupts, thus saving
a noticeable amount of CPU overhead for interrupt processing, can be
found at http://www.tel.fer.hr/zec/BSD/fxp/. New features include:
- control of microcode parameters through sysctl variables
- activation/deactivation of m
I am not an official FreeBSD commiter, so I can't tell really...
Therefore jlemon was in cc: (he is the fxp driver maintainer), so it is
his call.
Nevertheless, I think this patch needs a little bit more testing - there
are many 8255* chipset revisions out there, and as the code is *very*
