firmware compatibility. Document the new "hw.cxgbe.fw_install" knob
being introduced here.
This should fix kern/173584 too. Setting hw.cxgbe.fw_install=2 will
mostly do what was requested in the PR but it's a bit more intelligent
in that it won't reinstall the same firmware repeatedly if the knob is
left set.

This hides some implementation details like the usage of the msleep()
primitive and the necessity to access to the lock address directly.
For this reason VM_OBJECT_MTX() macro is now retired.

This fixes two things:
* The intermediary rates now also have their EWMA values changed;
* The existing code was using the wrong value for longtries - so the
EWMA stats were only adjusted for the first rate and not subsequent
rates in a MRR setup.
TODO:
* Merge the EWMA updates into update_stats() now..

* Remove ar5416UpdateChainmasks();
* Remove the TX chainmask override code from the ar5416 TX descriptor
setup routines;
* Write a driver method to calculate the current chainmask based on the
operating mode and update the driver state;
* Call the HAL chainmask method before calling ath_hal_reset();
* Use the currently configured chainmask in the TX descriptors rather than
the hardware TX chainmasks.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA/AP mode - legacy and 11n modes
Right now the only way to set the chainmask is to set the hardware
configured chainmask through capabilities. This is fine for forcing
the chainmask to be something other than what the hardware is capable
of (eg to reduce TX/RX to one connected antenna) but it does change what
the HAL hardware chainmask configuration is.
For operational mode changes, it (may?) make sense to separately control
the TX/RX chainmask.
Right now it's done as part of ar5416_reset.c - ar5416UpdateChainMasks()
calculates which TX/RX chainmasks to enable based on the operating mode.
(1 for legacy and whatever is supported for 11n operation.) But doing
this in the HAL is suboptimal - the driver needs to know the currently
configured chainmask in order to correctly enable things for each
TX descriptor. This is currently done by overriding the chainmask
config in the ar5416 TX routines but this has to disappear - the AR9300
HAL support requires the driver to dynamically set the TX chainmask based
on the TX power and TX rate in order to meet mini-PCIe slot power
requirements.
So:
* Introduce a new HAL method to set the operational chainmask variables;
* Introduce null methods for the previous generation chipsets;
* Add new driver state to record the current chainmask separate from
the hardware configured chainmask.
Part #2 of this will involve disabling ar5416UpdateChainMasks() and moving
it into the driver; as well as properly programming the TX chainmask
based on the currently configured HAL chainmask.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode - both legacy (11a/11bg) and 11n rates - verified
that AR_SELFGEN_MASK (the chainmask used for self-generated frames like
ACKs and RTSes) is correct, as well as the TX descriptor contents is
correct.
bootstrap liby. This was not readily apparent, because a normal 'make
buildworld' or 'make toolchain' builds liby before building anything
that uses yacc. However, 'make kernel-toolchain' does not build
headers or libraries, so it was not possible to build a kernel from
head on, say, stable/9 without first building the complete toolchain.

accessing files from various types of media nice and abstracted away from
the wet-work involved in preparing, validating, and initializing those
types of media. This will be used for the package management system module
and other modules that need access to files and want to allow the user to
decide where those files come from (either in a scripted fashion, prompted
fashion, or any combination thereof).
Heavily inspired by sysinstall and even uses the same reserved words so
that scripts are portable. Coded over months, tested continuously through-
out, and reviewed several times.
Some notes about the changes:
- Move network-setting acquisition/validation routines to media/tcpip.subr
- The options screen from sysinstall has been converted to a dialog menu
- The "UFS" media choice is renamed to "Directory" to reflect how sysinstall
treats the choice and a new [true] "UFS" media choice has been added that
acts on real UFS partitions (such as external disks with disklabels).
- Many more help files have been resurrected from sysinstall (I noticed that
some of the content seems a bit dated; I gave them a once-over but they
could really use an update).
- A total of 10 media choices are presented (via mediaGetType) including:
CD/DVD, FTP, FTP Passive, HTTP Proxy, Directory, NFS, DOS, UFS, Floppy, USB
- Novel struct/device management layer for managing the issue of passing
more information than can comfortably fit in an argument list.

Merge the ZFS I/O deadman thread from vendor (illumos).
This feature panics the system on hanging ZFS I/O, helps debugging
and resumes failed service.
The panic behavior can be controlled with the loader-only tunables:
vfs.zfs.deadman_enabled (enable or disable panic on stalled ZFS I/O)
vfs.zfs.deadman_synctime (expiration time for stalled ZFS I/O)
By default, ZFS I/O deadman is enabled by default on amd64 and i386
