These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

make use of it where possible.
This primarily brings in support for newer hardware, and FreeBSD is not yet
able to support the abundance of IRQs on new hardware and many features in the
Ethernet driver.
Because of the changes to IRQs in the Simple Executive, we have to maintain our
own list of Octeon IRQs now, which probably can be pared-down and be specific
to the CIU interrupt unit soon, and when other interrupt mechanisms are added
they can maintain their own definitions.
Remove unmasking of interrupts from within the UART device now that the
function used is no longer present in the Simple Executive. The unmasking
seems to have been gratuitous as this is more properly handled by the buses
above the UART device, and seems to work on that basis.

device's parent hub, which is worng. So track the USB tree up to
root HUB and initialize this filed ptroprly
Rename port_index to root_port_index in order to reflect its
real semantics.
This patch should remove the need for kldunload of USB

one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time
(bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
on-board USB controller. It is not currently enabled because there are
known problems with device communication and until those are fixed I am not
certain that it won't destabilize the system. [1]
o) Add the "cryptocteon" opencrypto device based on the OCF device written by
David McCullough. It is not currently enabled because until support for
saving/restoring coprocessor 2 state on context switch is available, it runs
with interrupts disabled, which tends to pessimize performance over using a
software crypto facility. Tests using this driver which are not negatively
affected by it running with interrupts disabled show it to be substantially
faster than software for large blocks.
