Log Message:
Pull a fix for PCIe variants from FreeBSD's if_re.c rev 1.71:
> - With the PCIe devices, it looks issuing a TX command while there's
> already a transmission in progress doesn't have any effect. In other
> words, if you send two packets in rapid succession, the second one may
> end up sitting in the TX DMA ring until another transmit command is
> issued later in the future. Basically, if re_txeof() sees that there
> are still descriptors outstanding, it needs to manually resume the
> TX DMA channel by issuing another TX command to make sure all
> transmissions are flushed out. (The PCI devices seem to keep the
> TX channel moving until all descriptors have been consumed. I'm not
> sure why the PCIe devices behave differently.)
