Add a driver by Fredrik Lindberg for Option HSDPA USB devices. These differ
from standard 3G wireless units by supplying a raw IP/IPv6 endpoint rather than
using PPP over serial. uhsoctl(1) is used to initiate and close the WAN
connection.

Document newly added loader tunable and sysctl variables.
o hw.vge.msi_disable
o dev.vge.%d.int_holdoff
o dev.vge.%d.rx_coal_pkt
o dev.vge.%d.tx_coal_pkt
r200676:
Document more VIA Velocity family controllers to vge(4). Previously
it mentioned only VT6122. While I'm here remove the mention of
VT3119 which seems to be VIA's internal model name and VT3119
wouldn't be available to end users.

- Add support for new BGE chips (5761, 5784 and 57780). These chips uses new
BGE_PCI_PRODID_ASICREV register to store the chip identifier and its revision.
- Add new grouping macro for 7575+ chips (BGE_IS_5755_PLUS).
- Add IDs for Fujitsu-branded Broadcom adapters.
lindev(4) [1] is supposed to be a collection of linux-specific pseudo
devices that we also support, just not by default (thus only LINT or
module builds by default).
While currently there is only "/dev/full" [2], we are planning to see more
in the future. We may decide to change the module/dependency logic in the
future should the list grow too long.
This is not part of linux.ko as also non-linux binaries like kFreeBSD
userland or ports can make use of this as well.

Introduce hw.hptrr.attach_generic loader tunable to deny hptrr driver
attach chips with generic Marvell (non-HighPoint) PCI identification.
These chips are also supported by ata(4). Some vendors, like Supermicro,
are using same chips without providing HPT RAID BIOS.

Powercrypt and NetSec seem to be defunct (webpages point to link farms
and a google search yields no alternative). Remove the links but
keep the entries around for reference.

Rather than fix questionable ifnet list locking in the implementation of
the kern.polling.enable sysctl, remove the sysctl. It has been deprecated
since FreeBSD 6 in favour of per-ifnet polling flags.
