/*
 * Polling support for [network] device drivers.
 *
 * Drivers which support this feature can register with the
 * polling code.
 *
 * If registration is successful, the driver must disable interrupts,
 * and further I/O is performed through the handler, which is invoked
 * (at least once per clock tick) with 3 arguments: the "arg" passed at
 * register time (a struct ifnet pointer), a command, and a "count" limit.
 *
 * The command can be one of the following:
 *  POLL_ONLY: quick move of "count" packets from input/output queues.
 *  POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS: as above, plus check status registers or do
 *      other more expensive operations. This command is issued periodically
 *      but less frequently than POLL_ONLY.
 *
 * The count limit specifies how much work the handler can do during the
 * call -- typically this is the number of packets to be received, or
 * transmitted, etc. (drivers are free to interpret this number, as long
 * as the max time spent in the function grows roughly linearly with the
 * count).
 *
 * Polling is enabled and disabled via setting IFCAP_POLLING flag on
 * the interface. The driver ioctl handler should register interface
 * with polling and disable interrupts, if registration was successful.
 *
 * A second variable controls the sharing of CPU between polling/kernel
 * network processing, and other activities (typically userlevel tasks):
 * kern.polling.user_frac (between 0 and 100, default 50) sets the share
 * of CPU allocated to user tasks. CPU is allocated proportionally to the
 * shares, by dynamically adjusting the "count" (poll_burst).
 *
 * Other parameters can should be left to their default values.
 * The following constraints hold
 *
 *      1 <= poll_each_burst <= poll_burst <= poll_burst_max
 *      0 <= poll_each_burst
 *      MIN_POLL_BURST_MAX <= poll_burst_max <= MAX_POLL_BURST_MAX
