0d9deed52c mdoc: drop redundant .Pp and .LP calls
They have no effect when coming in pairs, or before .Bl/.Bd

57d848483e When an underlying ioctl(2) handler returns an error, our ioctl(2)
interface considers that it hits a fatal error, and will not copyout
the request structure back for _IOW and _IOWR ioctls, keeping them
untouched.

The previous implementation of the SIOCGIFDESCR ioctl intends to
feed the buffer length back to userland.  However, if we return
an error, the feedback would be defeated and ifconfig(8) would
trap into an infinite loop.

This commit changes SIOCGIFDESCR to set buffer field to NULL to
indicate the previous ENAMETOOLONG case.

62f7648682 Increase size of ifnet.if_flags from 16 bits (short) to 32 bits (int). To avoid
breaking application ABI use unused ifreq.ifru_flags[1] for upper 16 bits in
SIOCSIFFLAGS and SIOCGIFFLAGS ioctl's.

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

6d249eee27 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
