Add support for VT200-style mouse input.
Right now if applications want to use the mouse on the command line,
they use sysmouse(4) and install a signal handler in the kernel to
deliver signals when mouse events arrive. This conflicts with my plan to
change to TERM=xterm, so implement proper VT200-style mouse input.
Because mouse input is now streamed through the TTY, it means you can
now SSH to another system on the console and use the mouse there as
well. The disadvantage of the VT200 mouse protocol, is that it doesn't
seem to generate events when moving the cursor. Only when pressing and
releasing mouse buttons.
There are different protocols as well, but this one seems to be most
commonly supported.

Do not allow mmap with the MAP_FIXED argument to map at address zero.
This is done to make it harder to exploit kernel NULL pointer security
vulnerabilities. While this of course does not fix vulnerabilities,
it does mitigate their impact.
Note that this may break some applications, most likely emulators or

printerr_reply() has never been used for as long as we've had this code in
our tree (13+ years). This is an excellent argument for aggressive use
of "static".
Fix several logic bugs in the previous IPv6 variable change and
re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility. From
UPDATING:
1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases.
$ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
they are obsolete.
2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
"inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility.
3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6
functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
using ifconfig(8) like:
ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
IPv6-preferred.
The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8)
scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
(State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
Make malloc(3) superpage aware. Specifically, if getpagesizes(3) returns
a large page size that is greater than malloc(3)'s default chunk size but
less than or equal to 4 MB, then increase the chunk size to match the large
page size.
Most often, using a chunk size that is less than the large page size is not
a problem. However, consider a long-running application that allocates and
frees significant amounts of memory. In particular, it frees enough memory
at times that some of that memory is munmap()ed. Up until the first
munmap(), a 1MB chunk size is just fine; it's not a problem for the virtual
memory system. Two adjacent 1MB chunks that are aligned on a 2MB boundary
will be promoted automatically to a superpage even though they were
allocated at different times. The trouble begins with the munmap(),
releasing a 1MB chunk will trigger the demotion of the containing superpage,
leaving behind a half-used 2MB reservation. Now comes the real problem.
Unfortunately, when the application needs to allocate more memory, and it
recycles the previously munmap()ed address range, the implementation of
mmap() won't be able to reuse the reservation. Basically, the coalescing
rules in the virtual memory system don't allow this new range to combine
with its neighbor. The effect being that superpage promotion will not
reoccur for this range of addresses until both 1MB chunks are freed at some
point in the future.

Add 256 color support.
It is quite inconvenient that if an application for xterm uses 256 color

We'd better just implement 256 color mode and add a conversion routine
from 256 to 8 color mode, which doesn't seem to be too bad in practice.
Remapping colors is done quite simple. If one of the channels is most
actively represented, primary colors are used. If two channels are most
actively represented, secondary colors are used. If all three channels
are equal (gray), it picks between black and white.

Make SCS work in 8-bit mode.
This means we can finally do things like VT100 box drawing when using
Syscons (8-bit characters). As far as I know, the only remaining issue
is the absense of proper escape sequences for special keyboard
characters (cursor, F1 to F12, etc) and xterm emulation should be ready
for general use.
Enabling xterm would have the following advantages:
- Easier possible migration to Unicode. cons25 termcap entries are very
8-bit centric. They use things like CP437 characters for box drawing,
etc.
- Better support for SSH'ing to other operating systems/devices. Most
switches use VT100-style admin interfaces.
- Reduced bandwidth, because applications can now use things like
scrolling regions.
- You can finally use applications like dtach(1) on both the console and
inside an xterm.

Align Tx/Rx descriptors on 32 bytes boundary instead of PAGE_SIZE.
Also align setup descriptor on 32 bytes boundary. Tx buffer have no
alignment limitation so create dmamap without alignment

limitation but we can simply use MCLBYTES for size to map the
buffer instead of TULIP_DATA_PER_DESC as the buffer is allocated
with m_getcl(9).
de(4) supports up to TULIP_MAX_TXSEG segments for Tx buffers,
increase maximum dma segment size to TULIP_MAX_TXSEG * MCLBYTES.
While I'm here remove TULIP_DATA_PER_DESC as it is not used anymore.

Before calling vflush(FORCECLOSE) mark file system as unmounted so the
following vnops will fail. This is very important, because without this change
vnode could be reclaimed at any point, even if we increased usecount. The only
way to ensure that vnode won't be reclaimed was to lock it, which would be very
hard to do in ZFS without changing a lot of code. With this change simply
increasing usecount is enough to be sure vnode won't be reclaimed from under
us. To be precise it can still be reclaimed but we won't be able to see it,
because every try to enter ZFS through VFS will result in EIO.
The only function that cannot return EIO, because it is needed for vflush() is
zfs_root(). Introduce ZFS_ENTER_NOERROR() macro that only locks
z_teardown_lock and never returns EIO.
Close race in zfs_zget(). We have to increase usecount first and then
check for VI_DOOMED flag. Before this change vnode could be reclaimed
between checking for the flag and increasing usecount.
o introduce PCIE_REGMAX and use it instead of ad-hoc constant
o where 'reg' parameter/variable is not already unsigned, cast it to

rwlock implemented from libthr need to fall through the 'hard path' and
query umtx also if the shared waiters bit is set on a shared lock.
The writer starvation avoidance technique, infact, can lead to shared
waiters on a shared lock which can bring to a missed wakeup and thus
to a deadlock if the right bit is not checked (a notable case is the
writers counterpart to be handled through expired timeouts).
Fix that by checking for the shared waiters bit also when unlocking the
shared locks.
That bug was causing a reported MySQL deadlock.
