variations from normal 16x50 behaviour however is the the use of a normally
unused bit of IER to control RX timeout interrupts independently of the
generally used RXRDY bit. If this bit is not enabled, we only ever get
interrupts when the FIFO is full, never before. This is not very useful when
the UART is being used as a console.
In order to support this without causing potential problems on more "normal"
16x50 variants, this change introduces two hints for the uart device, ier_mask
and ier_rxbits. These can be used to override which bits get set and cleared
when we're enabling and disabling RX interrupts.

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

baud, it actually does 96000 baud. In order to make it plug and
play with other serial ports, it has to have its clock rate

o do not put the chip into full sleep in ath_stop as it gains
nothing and causes many parts to hang in ath_detach because we
may touch the chip during vap teardown; this may also fix issues
with unloading the module
o add a note in ath_detach to explain ath_hal_detach puts the
chip in low power mode; this is useful to know as it means
unloading the module will place a pci device in the lowest
possible power state
o leave an #ifdef notyet marker for powering down the chip when
a device is marked down; we can't do that until we handle all
the ways the driver may be entered and touch the chip
o fix resume by reloading the h/w key cache as it's been clobbered
(for pci) by the socket being powered off; for station mode we
directly stop+init the chip and then simulate a beacon miss to
get the upper layers sync'd up; for other configs we must brute
force stop+start the vaps so they go through the state machine
address specified in the ioctl and for drivers that need the address
to locate a key (e.g. for delete).
Note this changes net80211-private api's but not the driver callback;
may want to change that in the future.

Right now we perform some of the checks inside the fcntl()'s F_DUPFD
operation twice. We first validate the `fd' argument. When finished,
we validate the `arg' argument. These checks are also performed inside
do_dup().
The reason we need to do this, is because fcntl() should return different
errno's when the `arg' argument is out of bounds (EINVAL instead of
EBADF). To prevent the redundant locking of the PROC_LOCK and
FILEDESC_SLOCK, patch do_dup() to support the error semantics required
by fcntl().

inlining resulted in constant propagation to the extend that cmpval
was known to the compiler to be URWLOCK_WRITE_OWNER (= 0x80000000U).
Unfortunately, instead of zero-extending the unsigned constant, it
was sign-extended. As such, the cmpxchg instruction was comparing
0x0000000080000000LU to 0xffffffff80000000LU and obviously didn't
perform the exchange.
But, since the value returned by cmpxhg equalled cmpval (when zero-
extended), the _thr_rtld_lock_release() function thought the exchange
did happen and as such returned as if having released the lock. This
was not the case. Subsequent locking requests found rw_state non-zero
and the thread in question entered the kernel and block indefinitely.
The work-around is to zero-extend by casting to uint64_t.

Because clists are also used outside the TTY layer, rename the file
containing the clist routines to something more accurate.
The mpsafetty TTY layer doesn't use clists. It uses its own buffers,
which also implement the unbuffered copying to userspace. We cannot
simply remove the clist routines then, because this would break various
drivers that are present within the kernel.

gigabit ethernet and JMC260 fast ethernet controllers. ATM jme(4)
supports all hardware features except RSS and multiple Tx/Rx queue.
In these days most ethernet controller vendors take a ply of
concealing hardware detailes from open source developers. As
contrasted with these vendors JMicron provided all necessary
information needed to write a stable driver during driver writing
and answered many questions I had. They even helped fixing driver
bugs with protocol analyzer. Many thanks to JMicron for their
support of FreeBSD.

context, where the iwn mutex is being held, and
iwn_start assumes that we do not have that mutex held.
Resolve this issue with what we do for other NICs by
splitting the iwn_start procedure into two parts,
iwn_start() do the locking, and iwn_start_locked()
assumes that the mutex is being held. This resolves
panic when WITNESS is enabled.
