ARM_TP_ADDRESS, where the tp will be stored. On CPUs that support it, a cache
line will be allocated and locked for this address, so that it will never go
to RAM. On CPUs that does not, a page is allocated for it (it will be a bit
slower, and is wrong for SMP, but should be fine for UP).
The tp is still stored in the mdthread struct, and at each context switch,
ARM_TP_ADDRESS gets updated.

uart(4) to support the Zilog 8530 SCCs which hang off of a FireHose
bus on Sun E4000/E5000 class machines.
Beside the fact that a puc_fhc.c would just be a copy of puc_sbus.c
with s,sbus,fhc,g the reason why the declaration for fhc(4) was
sticked into puc_sbus.c is that both of these front-ends for puc(4)
will go away once there is a scc(4).

both a scc(4) is under way and fhc(4) will be change to use INOs this
shouldn't stay in HEAD for too long but we need a MFC-able solution
for FreeBSD 5.4.

that describe a buffer of variable size). The problem is, allocating
MDLs off the heap is slow, and it can happen that drivers will allocate
lots and lots of lots of MDLs as they run.
As a compromise, we now do the following: we pre-allocate a zone for
MDLs big enough to describe any buffer with 16 or less pages. If
IoAllocateMdl() needs a MDL for a buffer with 16 or less pages, we'll
allocate it from the zone. Otherwise, we allocate it from the heap.
MDLs allocate from the zone have a flag set in their mdl_flags field.
When the MDL is released, IoMdlFree() will uma_zfree() the MDL if
it has the MDL_ZONE_ALLOCED flag set, otherwise it will release it
to the heap.
The assumption is that 16 pages is a "big number" and we will rarely
need MDLs larger than that.
- Moved the ndis_buffer zone to subr_ntoskrnl.c from kern_ndis.c
and named it mdl_zone.
- Modified IoAllocateMdl() and IoFreeMdl() to use uma_zalloc() and
uma_zfree() if necessary.
- Made ndis_mtop() use IoAllocateMdl() instead of calling uma_zalloc()
directly.

clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.
This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. None are know to
exist today. This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.
Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

o change the mapping arrays to have a zero offset rather than base 1;
this eliminates lots of signo adjustments and brings the code
back inline with the original netbsd code
o purge use of SVR4_SIGTBLZ; SVR4_NSIG is the only definition for
how big a mapping array is
o change the mapping loops to explicitly ignore signal 0
o purge some bogus code from bsd_to_svr4_sigset
o adjust svr4_sysentvec to deal with the mapping table change

owned by a process when it forks, and creates a matching set of references
for the child process, as prescribed by POSIX.
In order to avoid races with other threads in the parent process during
fork(), it is necessary to allocate a temporary reference list while
holding the sem_lock, then transfer those references to the new process
once the sem_lock is released. The implementation is inefficient but
appears functional; in order to improve the efficiency, it will be
necessary to modify the existing structures and logic, which generally
rely on O(n) operations over the global set of semaphores.
PAGE_SIZE.
Unlike originator of the PR suggests retain MAXSHELLCMDLEN definition
(he has been proposing to replace it with PAGE_SIZE everywhere), not only
this reduced the diff significantly, but prevents code obfuscation and also
allows to increase/decrease this parameter easily if needed.
