This is part 3 of the support for the new Intel Ethernet E610 family of devices
The ix driver now enables firmware logging on Intel E610 devices for debugging
with Customer Support. Logs are enabled by default and generated in binary
format that requires decoding by support teams. The collected data is firmware
and hardware related for debugging purposes only.
When the driver loads, it creates a fw_log sysctl node under the debug section.
Events are organized into categories (modules) for targeted logging, and users
can adjust verbosity levels as needed.
This adds sysctl support for the firmware logging feature and updates the ix(4)
manual page with documentation.
