cf7d67b20e FreeBSD 5.0 has stopped shipping /modules 2.5 years ago. Catch
up with this further by excluding /modules from the (default)
kern.module_path.

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.

0889b9be41 - Add 'fwrite' and 'fseek' words for writing to and seeking on files.
- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter.  Note that this
  will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen.  Thus, the loader
  version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
  sufficient version on i386 and alpha.  Be sure that you either do a full
  world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
  since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

1611ea8727 Add S4BIOS sleep (BIOS hibernation) and DSDT overriding support.
- Add S4BIOS sleep implementation.  This will works well if MIB
   hw.acpi.s4bios is set (and of course BIOS supports it and hibernation
   is enabled correctly).
 - Add DSDT overriding support which is submitted by takawata originally.
   If loader tunable acpi_dsdt_load="YES" and DSDT file is set to
   acpi_dsdt_name (default DSDT file name is /boot/acpi_dsdt.aml),
   ACPI CA core loads DSDT from given file rather than BIOS memory block.
   DSDT file can be generated by iasl in ports/devel/acpicatools/.
 - Add new files so that we can add our proposed additional code to Intel
   ACPI CA into these files temporary.  They will be removed when
   similar code is added into ACPI CA officially.
