tested on the Broadwell-Xeon with a hacked up version of pmcstudy -T. I still need
to circle back and add in to pmcstudy all the new tests from the Broadwell Vtune
guide (for the hacked up version I just made it so I could run the -T option). The
Skylake CPU is not yet available (even though Intel is advertising it .. imagine that).
The Skylake PMC's will need to be tested once we can get a sample skylake CPU :-)

- add new TEX class for WT cacheable memory
- export new TEX class to kernel as VM_MEMATTR_WT attribute
- add new aliases VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_COMBINING and
VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_BACK, it's used in DRM code
Note:
Only Cortex A8 supports WT caching in HW. On rest of Cortex CPUs,
WT requests is treated as uncacheable.

* remove regdomain.[ch] - it's now part of lib80211.
* convert ifieee80211.c to use the ioctl routines in lib80211 and
implement the "error? exit" wrapper behaviour the callers expect.
The synth programming here requires the real centre frequency,
which for HT20 channels is the normal channel, but HT40 is
/not/ the primary channel. Everything else was using 'freq',
which is the correct centre frequency, but the hornet config
was using 'ichan' to do the lookup which was also the primary
channel.
So, modify the HAL call that does the mapping to take a frequency
in MHz and return the channel number.
Tested:
* Carambola 2, AR9331, tested both HT/20 and HT/40 operation.
by filter function instead of picking into routing table details in
each consumer.
Remove now-unused rt_expunge() (eliminating last external RTF_RNH_LOCKED
user).
This simplifies future nexthops/mulitipath changes and rtrequest1_fib()
locking refactoring.
Actual changes:
Add "rt_chain" field to permit rte grouping while doing batched delete
from routing table (thus growing rte 200->208 on amd64).
Add "rti_filter" / "rti_filterdata" / "rti_spare" fields to rt_addrinfo
to pass filter function to various routing subsystems in standard way.
Convert all rt_expunge() customers to new rt_addinfo-based api and eliminate
rt_expunge().
routines to interface with net80211.
This is all from the ifconfig program; the duplicate code from ifconfig
will be removed when it starts using this API.

on every allocation and fully releases them on every free. These
are not trivial costs: it starts by zeroing a large structure then
initializes a mutex, a lock manager lock, an rw lock, four lists,
and six pointers. And looking at vfs.vnodes_created, these operations
are being done millions of times an hour on a busy machine.
As a performance optimization, this code update uses the uma_init
and uma_fini routines to do these initializations and cleanups only
as the vnodes enter and leave the vnode_zone. With this change the
initializations are only done kern.maxvnodes times at system startup
and then only rarely again. The frees are done only if the vnode_zone
shrinks which never happens in practice. For those curious about the
avoided work, look at the vnode_init() and vnode_fini() functions in
kern/vfs_subr.c to see the code that has been removed from the main
vnode allocation/free path.

the name of a filesystem when setting it as the first parameter to the
getnewvnode() function. Most filesystems call getnewvnode from just one
place so can use a literal string as the first parameter. However, NFS
calls getnewvnode from two places, so we create a global constant string
that can be used by the two instances. This change also collapses two
instances of getnewvnode() in the UFS filesystem to a single call.

On ARM, we must ensure proper interdevice write ordering.
The AHCI interrupt status register must be updated in HW before
registers in interrupt controller.
Unfortunately, only way how we can do it is readback.

This is a 2x2 2GHz 802.11n part. It works enough at the moment to
bring up, scan and associate. I haven't started using this as
a day to day AP.
The specifics:
* add honeybee initvals
* add in changes; a mix from the QCA HAL and ath9k;
* fix a bug in AR_SREV_AR9580_10_OR_LATER(), which is only used
for one capability check and we don't even implement it - so it's
a big no-op.
Shady things:
* ath9k has the "platform data" define the 25/40MHz clock.
This HAL .. doesn't. Honeybee gets hard-coded to 25MHz which
it likely shouldn't be. I'll have to go and identify/fix those.
Tested:
* Qualcomm Atheros AP143 reference design board.
Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros; Linux ath9k
Using a typedef for common code return types (rather than "int")
allows the Prefast static analyser to understand when a function
has been successful (and thus when its postconditions must hold).
This greatly reduces then number of false positives reported by
prefast for error paths in common code functions.

Dynamic config partitions on boards that support RFID are divided into
a number of segments, each formatted like a partition, with header,
trailer and end tags. The first segment is the current active
configuration.
The segments are initialised by manftest and each contain a different
configuration e.g. firmware variant. The firmware can be instructed
via RFID to copy a segment over the first segment, hence changing the
active configuration. This allows ops to change the configuration of
a board prior to shipment using RFID.
Changes to the dynamic config may need to be written to all segments (in
particular firmware versions written by manftest) or just the first
segment (changes to the active configuration). See SF-111324-SW.
If only the first segment is written the code still needs to be aware of
the possible presence of subsequent segments as writing to a segment may
cause its size to increase, which would overwrite the subsequent
segments and invalidate them.
Boards that do not support RFID will only have one segment in their
dynamic config partition.
