Fix the mechanism used to choose the unit numbers for the IP interfaces
attached by the SysKonnect driver. Use ifunit() to scan for existing
skN interfaces and pick the first unused one.
Remember to account for ETHER_ALIGN when setting the maxmimum packet
length for mini receive ring. The max length was MHLEN, however the mbufs
are actually shortened to MHLEN - ETHER_ALIGN to force payload alignment.
Parse resource descriptions which don't have START_DEPENDANT tags
correctly. This fixes resource allocation for various PnP ed cards but
there are other problems which prevent that driver from working right.
Add vfs.enable_userblk_io sysctl to control whether user reads and writes
to buffered block devices are allowed. The default is to be backwards
compatible, i.e. reads and writes are allowed.
The idea is for a larger crowd to start running with this disabled and
see what problems, if any, crop up, and then to change the default to
off and see if any problems crop up in the next 6 months prior to
potentially removing support entirely. There are still a few people,
Julian and myself included, who believe the buffered block device
access from usermode to be useful.
Remove use of vnode->v_lastr from buffered block device I/O in
preparation for removal of vnode->v_lastr field, replacing it with
the already existing seqcount metric to detect sequential operation.

Asynchronized client-side nfs_commit. NFS commit operations were
previously issued synchronously even if async daemons (nfsiod's) were
available. The commit has been moved from the strategy code to the doio
code in order to asynchronize it.
Removed use of lastr in preparation for removal of vnode->v_lastr. It
has been replaced with seqcount, which is already supported by the system
and, in fact, gives us a better heuristic for sequential detection then
lastr ever did.
Made major performance improvements to the server side commit. The
server previously fsync'd the entire file for each commit rpc. The
server now bawrite()s only those buffers related to the offset/size
specified in the commit rpc.
Note that we do not commit the meta-data yet. This works still needs
to be done.
Note that a further optimization can be done (and has not yet been done)
on the client: we can merge multiple potential commit rpc's into a
single rpc with a greater file offset/size range and greatly reduce
rpc traffic.

Remove inappropriate VOP_FSYNC from vm_object_page_clean(). The fsync
syncs the entire underlying file rather then just the requested range,
resulting in huge inefficiencies when the VM system is articulated in
a certain way. The VOP_FSYNC was also found to massively reduce NFS
performance in certain cases.
Change MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE to call vm_page_dontneed() instead
of vm_page_deactivate(). Using vm_page_deactivate() causes all
inactive and cache pages to be recycled before the dontneed/free page
is recycled, effectively flushing our entire VM inactive & cache
queues continuously even if only a few pages are being actively MADV
free'd and reused (such as occurs with a sequential scan of a
memory-mapped file).

Fix a bug in the block number calculation for VN disks with a sector
size != 512 that are configured without a label. The bug should only
have effected swap-backed VN mounts without a label.
Add several major features to VN. In the kernel we add a swap
pre-reservation capability, which can be used to guarentee seek
consistency for swap-backed VN nodes. This also incidently allows
a swap-backed VN filesystem to be recovered after a crash in some
cases (if the same swap blocks happen to be reserved).
We also add a number of new options to vnconfig which do the work
of pre-zeroing or creating/truncating/extending a file which greatly
simplifies using VN in a file-backed configuration.
Add FreeBSD CVS label to sys/sys/vnioctl.h, as well as a new ioctl
flag for the swap pre-reservation feature.

The vnode pager (used when you do file-backed mmaps) must use the
underlying physical sector size when aligning I/O transfer sizes.
It cannot assume 512 bytes.
We assume the underlying sector size is a power of 2. If it isn't,
mmap() will break badly anyway (in the same way mmap broke with NFS
when NFS tried to cache piecemeal write ranges in buffers, before
we enforced read-buffer-before-write-piecemeal for NFS).

Fix a number of spl bugs related to reserving and freeing swap space.
Swap space can be freed from an interrupt and so swap reservation and
freeing must occur at splvm.
Add swap_pager_reserve() code to support a new swap pre-reservation
capability for the VN device.
Generally cleanup the swap code by simplifying the swp_pager_meta_build()
static function and consolidating the SWAPBLK_NONE test from a bit test
to an absolute compare. The bit test was left over from a rejected
swap allocation scheme that was not ultimately committed. A few other
minor cleanups were also made.
Reorganize the swap strategy code, again for VN support, to not
reallocate swap when writing as this messes up pre-reservation and
can fragment I/O unnecessarily as VN-baesd disk is messed around with.

Replace various VM related page count calculations strewn over the
VM code with inlines to aid in readability and to reduce fragility
in the code where modules depend on the same test being performed
to properly sleep and wakeup.
Split out a portion of the page deactivation code into an inline

add vm_page_dontneed(), which handles the madvise MADV_DONTNEED
feature in a related commit coming up for vm_map.c/vm_object.c. This
code prevents degenerate cases where an essentially active page may
be rotated through a subset of the paging lists, resulting in premature
disposal.
Fix sf_probe() to detect the card type properly. I botched the reading

Let count=-something fail, while count=0 may succeed, thus making dd(1)
useful as a seeking-tool as well as its many other uses. Previously,
dd(1) would succeed with count=0, but wouldn't get to the point that

3Com has produced their own Linux driver for the 3c90x/3c90xB series cards.
It's GPL'ed of course, but looking over it tonight I learned of Yet Another

an updated version of the 3c980 that uses the Tornado ASIC instead of the
earlier Hurricane ASIC. The only change here is to add the new PCI device

Pull in the core bus drivers based on the machine type rather than
requiring the user to figure it out. So, if you comment out all but the
machine type you are using, you automatically get the bus code just for
your system. (eg DEC_EB164 implies cia, etc). Multiple machine types
still pulls in the appropriate busses. This means, take things like
'controller cia0' out of your config.
Merged src/lib/libtelnet rev.1.9 (fixed removing of obsolete shared
library: wrong library directory, wrong library extension and wrong
comment). This is mainly of historical interest, if any. The library
that gets removed is aout.
Merge from ../egcs/gcc/gcc.c rev.1.5:
Don't exclude directories that the linker is "known" to search (/lib
and /usr/lib) when deciding whether to pass certain paths to the
linker. Under FreeBSD, the linker is actually known to never search
/lib and to only search /usr/lib in the elf case. Not passing the
paths causes at best causes confusing differences for cross compiling.
This change is conditional on FREEBSD_NATIVE but should be absolute.
Apply a consistent style to most of the etc scripts. Particularly, use
case instead of test where appropriate, since case allows case is a sh
builtin and (as a side-effect) allows case-insensitivity.
Fixed longstanding breakage of rm of deep directories in rev.1.2.
rm must not use FTS_NOCHDIR, since chdir'ing is required for removing
deep directory trees and the ability to remove such trees is required
by POSIX.2 and POLA. The breakage didn't make much difference until
recently, since fts(3) didn't work in deep directory trees. It isn't
clear whether using FTS_NOCHDIR ever fixed anything (Net/2's rm.c is
similar to Lite1's). Perhaps it was actually to limit the damage
caused by the fts bug.
Oops, I forgot to commit this together with the updates to the callers.

__collate_substitute() do something non-trivial only for German. For everyone
else, it is equivalent to strdup(). So, we will check if the substitution
tables are trivial at the load time, and possibly save 2 calls to
__collate_substitute() in strcoll().
Reduce time of __collate_substitute() from O(strlen(s)^2) to O(strlen(s)).
Other minor optimizations. I got ~30% speedup in strcoll() for 50 char strings,
~40% speedup for 100 char strings, and unmeasurable speedup for 1M strings.
Collates are still terribly slow. To make them reasonable fast,
__collate_substitute() should be killed.
