patch to properly support rss option

Hello,

I am testing the Intel E810 NIC using the ice driver on both FreeBSD-12.2 and FreeBSD-13.0. During testing, I enabled the RSS kernel configuration option so the driver would use the system-wide standard RSS key instead of the custom ice key. I was surprised to see even after rebooting, the driver was still using the ice key.

My debugging led me to ice_lib.h where ice_rss.h is included. However, I don't believe there is a prior include of ice_opts.h, so when ice_rss.h is parsed, RSS is not defined causing ice-specific definitions to be used. I added ice_opts.h to the include list above ice_rss.h and re-compiled.

I hit a second problem within ice_rss.h where ICE_DEFAULT_RSS_HASH_CONFIG is only defined inside the !RSS block. I believe this is an oversight, probably hidden by the previous bug. That variable is used in ice_lib.c so it cannot depend on the state of the RSS option. Therefore, I moved the definition outside of the RSS/!RSS blocks.

With these two changes, in the included patch file, I observed the ice driver using RSS settings from the kernel, not ice-specific values. Looking at the FreeBSD-13.0 and HEAD branches, it looks like the same problems are present.

^Triage: assign to correct mailing list.
^Triage: note that the "patch" keyword is obsolete (now inferred from attachment metadata).

This patch looks valid to me. I'll get it in after this update: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D30888.

    ice(4): properly use kernel option RSS

    Header ice_rss.h uses the kernel RSS interface if option RSS is defined.
    However when ice_rss.h is included by ice_lib.h there is no prior
    inclusion of ice_opts.h to set RSS causing ifdef RSS to always fail. Add
    ice_opts.h to the top of ice_lib.h (like ice_iflib.h) so RSS can be
    defined when ice_rss.h is parsed.

    With that in place, compilation fails due to a missing defintion of
    ICE_DEFAULT_RSS_HASH_CONFIG. It is defined in ice_rss.h only when RSS is
    not defined. Since this define is not part of the kernel RSS interface
    but ice-specific, it should always be defined. Move its definition
    outside of ifdef RSS.
