that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

Fix two bugs:
- The ftpPassive() function seemed to think that the PASV command
is a toggle. This is not true (however, the ftp(1) "pass" command
is indeed a toggle). So no need to emit a "PASV" command each time
this function is called; that's handled by ftp_file_op().
- check_passive() is supposed to check if FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is defined,
and if so, override ftpPassive(). However, it was overriding
ftpPassive() even if FTP_PASSIVE_MODE was not defined, rendering
calls to the ftpPassive() function completely ineffectual.
Also, clarify the relationship between ftpPassive() and the
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable in the man page.
with Brian's kernel support for i386 debug registers. This makes
watchpoints actually usable for real-life problems. Note: you can
only set watchpoints on 1-, 2- or 4-byte locations, gdb automatically
falls back to [sloooow] software watchpoints when attempting to use
them on variables which don't fit into this category. To circumvent
this, one can use the following hack:
watch *(int *)0x<some address>
David O'Brien is IMHO considering to get this fully integrated into the
official GDB, but as long as we've got the i386/* files sitting around
in our private FreeBSD tree here, the feature can now be tested more
extensively, so i'm committing this for the time being.

have a chance of booting up ok after installing. The real fix for this
problem is to rewrite userconfig in Forth, stick it in the loader, axe
userconfig from the kernel, and extract the hints from the booted kernel in
sysinstall similar to the way we generate /boot/kernel.conf right now. For
now, however, this will have to do.
