This way of operation is more robust than the "AI" used
before.
Add flags to mbr accessible from make.conf as BOOT_MBR_FLAGS.
Only one flag is defined now, "allow using packet mode", which
is 0x80 in accord with the rest of i386 boot code. The "packet"
flag is on by default.

This way of operation is less likely to fail with modern BIOSes and
large disks of strange geometries.

The thread was being assigned to a runq without adding in the load, which
would cause the counter to hit -1.
o Remove PSM_SYNCERR_THRESHOLD1. This value specified how many sync
errors were required before the mouse is re-initialised.
Re-initialisation is now done after (packetsize * 2) sync errors as
things aren't likely to improve after that.
o Reset lastinputerror when re-initialisation occurs. We don't want
to continue to drop data after re-initialisation.
o Count the number of failed packets independently of the syncerrors
statistic. syncerrors is useful for recovering sync within a single
packet. pkterrors allows us to detect when the mouse changes its
packet mode due to some external event (e.g. KVM switch).
o Reinitialize the mouse if we see more than psmpkterrthresh errors
during the validation period. The validation period begins as soon
as a sync error is detected and continues until psmerrsecs/msecs
time has elapsed. The defaults for these two values force a reset
if we see two packet errors in a 2 second period. This allows rapid
detection of packet framing errors caused by the mouse changing packet
modes.
o Export psmpkterrthresh as a sysctl
o Export psmloglevel as a sysctl.
o Enable more debugging code to be enabled at runtime via psmloglevel.
o Simplify verbose conditioned loging by using a VLOG macro.
o Add several comments describing the sync recovery algorithm of
this driver.

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.
This commit defines the macros on all architectures equivalently to
the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from
here...

netisr_queue() now returns (0) on success and ERRNO on failure. At the
moment ENXIO (netisr queue not functional) and ENOBUFS (netisr queue full)
are supported.
Previously it would return (1) on success but the return value of IF_HANDOFF()
was interpreted wrongly and (0) was actually returned on success. Due to this
schednetisr() was never called to kick the scheduling of the isr. However this
was masked by other normal packets coming through netisr_dispatch() causing the
dequeueing of waiting packets.

we fill in the m_pkthdr.rcvif with a pointer to the loopback interface.
Before the function ifunit("lo0") was used to obtain the ifp. However
this is sub-optimal from a performance point of view and might be dangerous
if the loopback interface has been renamed. Use the global variable 'loif'
instead which always points to the loopback interface.

compile option. All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.
If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over. This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.
Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.
Add missing untimeout that would get lost in handling of some
error situations, and caused what looked like random timeouts
afterwards when the timeout fired.
