422d857731 * Fix inconsistency between "int" and "num"; as far as I can see they mean 
the same thing in this context.

9fde3dc5ba Update the SYNOPSIS to reflect that the driver can be loaded as a module. 
While here, I also updated the kernel config style, although I wouldn't
recommend doing this for the whole of section 4 yet, since our kernel
config style is still in a state of flux.

bfd597212a Fixup some wrong statements in the new mbuf(9) man page. 
Also introduce a bunch of (missed?) macros and functions.
This man page still needs a lot of work, most likely a re-ordering
of the macros/functions, and a more complete, more accurate, listing of
available routines.
A good and worthy start nonetheless.

73334a4329 Add a new driver for the AMD PCnet/FAST, FAST+ and Home PCI adapters. 
Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)

The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.

9ed55d1192 Another overhaul of the periodic stuff. 
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8).  Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights 
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).

248aee623c Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can 
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.

= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).

= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
  functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).

= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
    . getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
    . getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
    . getusershell
    . getaddrinfo
    . gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
    . getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
    . getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr

= host.conf has been removed from src/etc.  rc.network has been modified
  to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time.  In addition, if
  there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
  time from the former.
