The generic sound driver has been added, along with enough
device-specific drivers to support the most common audio
chipsets.
We've discussed enabling it from time to time over the years
and we've received numerous requests from users, so we decided
that shipping 9.0 with working audio by default would be the
best thing to do.
Bug reports should be sent to the multimedia@ mailing list, as
usual.

No objection: re
NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.

device in /dev/ create symbolic link with adY name, trying to mimic old ATA

mount file systems without touching /etc/fstab.
- To know what behavior to mimic, restore ATA_STATIC_ID option in cases
where it was present before.
- Add some more details to UPDATING.
stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers are disabled and replaced by
respective CAM drivers. If you are using ATA device names in /etc/fstab or
other places, make sure to update them respectively (adX -> adaY,
acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, where 'Y's are the sequential
numbers for each type in order of detection, unless configured otherwise
with tunables, see cam(4)).
ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.
Introduce the AHB glue for Atheros embedded systems. Right now it's

still build it.
While it may be a perfect win in some scenarios, it still troubles users
(see PRs) in general cases. In addition we are still allocating resources
even if disabled by sysctl and still leak arp/nd6 entries in case of
interface destruction.

The controller is commonly found on DM&P Vortex86 x86 SoC. The
driver supports all hardware features except flow control. The
flow control was intentionally disabled due to silicon bug.
DM&P Electronics, Inc. provided all necessary information including
sample board to write driver and answered many questions I had.
Many thanks for their support of FreeBSD.

a pointer to a bus_addr_t (mostly scsi drivers); and those which can't be
built with XEN because they conflict with something in xen-os.h (e.g., in
cxgb there is a conflicting definition of test_and_clear_bit).

zones for each malloc bucket size. The purpose is to isolate
different malloc types into hash classes, so that any buffer overruns
or use-after-free will usually only affect memory from malloc types in
that hash class. This is purely a debugging tool; by varying the hash
function and tracking which hash class was corrupted, the intersection
of the hash classes from each instance will point to a single malloc
type that is being misused. At this point inspection or memguard(9)
can be used to catch the offending code.

This driver was written by Alexander Pohoyda and greatly enhanced
by Nikolay Denev. I don't have these hardwares but this driver was
tested by Nikolay Denev and xclin.
Because SiS didn't release data sheet for this controller, programming
information came from Linux driver and OpenSolaris. Unlike other open
source driver for SiS190/191, sge(4) takes full advantage of TX/RX
checksum offloading and does not require additional copy operation in
RX handler.
The controller seems to have advanced offloading features like VLAN
hardware tag insertion/stripping, TCP segmentation offload(TSO) as
well as jumbo frame support but these features are not available
yet. Special thanks to xclin <xclin<> cs dot nctu dot edu dot tw>
who sent fix for receiving VLAN oversized frames.

sys/conf/makeLINT.mk to only do certain things for certain
architectures.
Note that neither arm nor mips have the Makefile there, thus
essentially not (yet) supporting LINT. This would enable them
do add special treatment to sys/conf/makeLINT.mk as well chosing
one of the many configurations as LINT.
This is a hack of doing this and keeping it in a separate commit
will allow us to more easily identify and back it out.
