incorrect; returning NULL here means that the dispatcher won't send any
response back to the caller, which means the caller will sit there waiting
until it times out. I don't know how this ever worked before. The effect
is that using 'ypset foo' to get the local ypbind to change servers would
work, but would sit there hanging for a long time for no reason.
Under certain conditions (possibly associated with heavy load), ypserv will
fork() child processes that don't exit like they're supposed to. I think
this is because of some suspect logic in the ypproc_all procedure. I updated
it to use what I hope is a more bulletproof approach.
Also tweaked yp_svc_run() a little so that the 'are we a child?' test happens
at every pass through the for(;;) loop, not just immediately after returning
from svc_getreqset2().
- Add syscons.4.
If there still are errors, whether technical or grammatical, they are
entirely mine, not the reviewers'.

I still have reservations about choosing the ISC client over the WIDE client,
but I believe the FreeBSD community in general seems to prefer this choice.
Also OpenBSD uses this version and msmith showed that the ISC client gives
us more choices in how we hook the client into sysinstall and /etc/rc*
the display wrapped around.
This decreases the default maximum number of disks shown to 2, so things
don't wrap around so easily. Also, it fixes the header display issues.

peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

to wait for the mount point st_dev to change before returning, indicating
that the mount has gone active.
convince myself that nothing will break if we permit IP input while
interface addresses are unconfigured. (At worst, they will hit some
ULP's PCB scan and fail if nobody is listening.) So, remove the restriction
that addresses must be configured before packets can be input. Assume
that any unicast packet we receive while unconfigured is potentially ours.

define. Add a new config flag param (ISP_CFG_NONVRAM) whose intent it is
to cause NVRAM to be ignored. Add ISPASYNC_LOOP_DOWN and ISPASYNC_LOOP_UP
isp_async enums.
Amazingly enough, I did all my scsi_sa work recently without realizing
that I had a broken isp card whose (unchangeable- it's an old old old
isp1020) NVRAM has sync mode enabled, but disconnect/reconnect disabled-
the ISP_CFG_NONVRAM is definitely warranted when you want to bloody well
ignore the NVRAM and set something sensible.
