in_ifaddrhashtbl in in_ifinit because error handler in in_control removes
entries only for AF_INET addresses. If in_ifinit is called for the cloned
inteface that has just been created its address family is not AF_INET and
therefor LIST_REMOVE is not called for respective LIST_INSERT_HEAD and
freed entries remain in in_ifaddrhashtbl and lead to memory corruption.

locked and unlocked completely in userland. by locking and unlocking mutex
in userland, it reduces the total time a mutex is locked by a thread,
in some application code, a mutex only protects a small piece of code, the
code's execution time is less than a simple system call, if a lock contention
happens, however in current implemenation, the lock holder has to extend its
locking time and enter kernel to unlock it, the change avoids this disadvantage,
it first sets mutex to free state and then enters kernel and wake one waiter
up. This improves performance dramatically in some sysbench mutex tests.

- Rework the watchdog timer to match other NIC drivers:
- Start a timer in fe_init() that runs once a second and checks a counter
in the softc that is identical to the deprecated 'if_timer'.
- Just adjust the softc tx timeout value when sending packets instead of
scheduling the timer.
- Use IFQ_SET_MAXLEN().

Adding exevpe() has caused some ports to break. Even though execvpe() is
a useful routine, it does not conform to any standards.
This patch is a little bit different from the patch sent to the mailing
list. I forgot to remove execvpe from the Symbol.map (which does not
seem to miscompile libc, though).

FIFO, as required by SUSv3. No specific privilege check is performed
in this case, as FIFOs may be created by unprivileged processes
(subject to the normal file system name space restrictions that may be
in place).
Unlike the Apple implementation, we reject requests to create a FIFO
using mknod(2) if there is a non-zero dev argument to the system call,
which is permitted by the Open Group specification ("... undefined
..."). We might want to revise this if we find it causes
compatibility problems for applications in practice.

o Given that gem_load_txmbuf() is allowed to fail resulting in a packet
drop also for quite some time now implement the functionality of
gem_txcksum() by means of m_pullup(9), which de-obfuscates the code
and allows to always retrieve the correct length of the IP header.
o Add missing BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD when syncing the control DMA maps in
gem_rint() and gem_start_locked().
o Correct some bus_barrier(9) calls to do a read/write barrier as we
do a read after a write. Add some missing ones in gem_mii_readreg()
and gem_mii_writereg().
o According to the Apple GMAC driver, the GEM ASIC specification and
the OpenSolaris eri(7D) the TX FIFO threshold has to be set to 0x4ff
for the Gigabit variants and 0x100 for the ERI in order do avoid TX
underruns.
o In gem_init_locked():
- be conservative and enable the RX and TX MACs,
- don't clear GEM_LINK otherwise we don't ever mark the link as up
again if gem_init_locked() is called from gem_watchdog(),
- remove superfluous setting of sc_ifflags.
o Don't bother to check whether the interface is running or whether its
queue is empty before calling gem_start_locked() in gem_tint(), the
former will check these anyway.
o Call gem_start_locked() in gem_watchdog() in order to try to get
some more packets going.
o In gem_mii_writereg() after reseting the PCS restore its configuration.

on the amd64 architecture. The amd64 architecture requires kernel code and
global variables to reside in the highest 2GB of the 64-bit virtual address
space. Thus, the memory allocated during bootstrap, before the call to
kmem_init(), starts at KERNBASE, which is not necessarily the same as
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS on amd64.

predictably on systems that lack timegm(), whose mktime() doesn't
support dates before the Epoch and which are running in timezones
with negative offsets from GMT). The goal here is to test the ISO
extraction, not the local platform's time support.
