bd8fc733cb remove /boot/kernel from the default path.. There is already code that
will prepend the current kernel booting...  This prevents a problem of
loading /boot/kernel's modules when a different kernel has no modules,
but you left your module_load="YES" in loader.conf...

0ac4013324 Change the following environment variables to kernel options:
bootp -> BOOTP
    bootp.nfsroot -> BOOTP_NFSROOT
    bootp.nfsv3 -> BOOTP_NFSV3
    bootp.compat -> BOOTP_COMPAT
    bootp.wired_to -> BOOTP_WIRED_TO

- i.e. back out the previous commit.  It's already possible to
pxeboot(8) with a GENERIC kernel.

59e1ebc9b5 Change the following kernel options to environment variables:
BOOTP -> bootp
    BOOTP_NFSROOT -> bootp.nfsroot
    BOOTP_NFSV3 -> bootp.nfsv3
    BOOTP_COMPAT -> bootp.compat
    BOOTP_WIRED_TO -> bootp.wired_to

This lets you PXE boot with a GENERIC kernel by putting this sort of thing
in loader.conf:

    bootp="YES"
    bootp.nfsroot="YES"
    bootp.nfsv3="YES"
    bootp.wired_to="bge1"

or even setting the variables manually from the OK prompt.

d3e1c2411e Fix hw.acpi.os_name by renaming it to hw.acpi.osname. The "_name" suffix
is reserved by the loader, and thus any tunable name with that suffix will
be silently discarded.

Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.

84344f9fbf Rename the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable to the more logical vm.kmem_size. To
assure backward compatibility (conditional on !BURN_BRIDGES), look it up
by its old name first, and log a warning (but accept the setting) if it
was found.  If both the old and new name are defined, the new name takes
precedence.

Also export vm.kmem_size as a read-only sysctl variable; I find it hard to
tune a parameter when I don't know its default value, especially when that
default value is computed at boot time.

5dfe609dd1 Add two loader tuneables that allow one to change the maximum number of
queue items that can be allocated by netgraph and the number of free queue
items that are cached on a private list.

Netgraph places an upper limit on the number of queue items it may allocate.
When there is a large number of netgraph messages travelling through the
system (100k/sec and more) there is a high probability, that messages get
queued at the nodes and netgraph runs out of queue items. In this case the data
flow through netgraph gets blocked. The tuneable for the number of free
items lets one trade memory for performance.

The tunables are also available as read-only sysctls.

666df9ddf3 Add support for reading an additional loader configuration file. By default,
this is called /boot/nextboot.conf. This file is required to have it's first
line be nextboot_enable="YES" for it to be read. Also, this file is
rewritten by the loader to nextboot_enable="NO"<space> after it is read.
This makes it so the file is read exactly once. Finally, the nextboot.conf
is removed shortly after the filesystems are mounted r/w.

Caution should be taken as you can shoot yourself in the foot. This is only
the loader piece. There will be a tool called nextboot(8) that will manage
the nextboot.conf file for you. It is coming shortly.

1de372dcd4 Add a -k option to reboot to specify the kernel to boot next time
around.  If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel
is erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing
kernels.

This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.

I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.
