In the end, it does help fixing /dev/io usage from multithreaded
processes.
- On i386 and amd64 the old behaviour is kept but multithreaded
processes must use the new interface in order to work well.
- Support for the other architectures is greatly improved, where
necessary, by the necessity to define very small things now.
Manpage update will happen shortly.

that we allow all possible jail IPs as source address rather than
forcing the "primary". While IPv6 naturally has source address
selection, for legacy IP we do not go through the pain in case
IP_HDRINCL was not set. People should bind(2) for that.
This will, for example, allow ping(|6) -S to work correctly for
non-primary addresses.

will allow people with old config options to either have it just work
(if config is new enough), or get a version error (if their config is
about 7.0 or newer) rather than getting a cryptic error about
duplicated options in the options file, or getting an error about an
unknown option, at which point they'd update their config file only to
learn they need a new config, only to learn they didn't really need to
update their config file... All this because our version checking was
in the wrong place for the past decade...

versions of config. Remove support for the syntax OLD = NEW form the
options file, and instead have a new file $S/conf/options-compat.
This file will be parsed as OLD NEW on each line. Bump version of
config. Since nothing in -current ever used this, there's no hazards
for current users, so I'm not bumping the version in the
Makefiles.$MACHINE. No need, really, for this version bump in
-current, but this was introduced into -stable before I realized the
version check was ineffective there, so the verison bump doesn't hurt
here and keeps the two branches in sync, versionwise, after the MFC.

Clearing a page table entry's accessed bit (PG_A) and setting the

we've parsed the config file. Makefile generation is too late if
we've introduce changes to the syntax of the metafiles to warn about
version skew, since we have to try to parse them and we get an parse
error that's rather baffling to the user rather than a 'your config is
too old, upgrade' which we should get.
We have to defer doing it until after we've read the user's config
file because we define machinename there. The version required to
compile the kernel is encoded in Makefile.machinename. There's no
real reason for this to be the case, but changing it now would
introduce some logistical issues that I'd rather avoid for the moment.
I intend to revisit this if we're still using config in FreeBSD 10.
This also means that we cannot introduce any config metafile changes
that result in a syntax error or other error for the user until 9.0 is
released. Otherwise, we break the upgrade path, or at least reduce
the usefulness of the error messages we generate.
# This implies that the config file option mapping will need to be redone.

arguments passed to alq_open(). Also add variants of alq_open() and
alq_post() that accept a flags argument. The KPI is still fully
backwards compatible and shouldn't require any change in ALQ consumers

page's PG_REFERENCED flag in pmap_protect() can't really be justified.
In contrast to pmap_remove() or pmap_remove_all(), the mapping is not
being destroyed, so the notion that the page was accessed is not lost.
Moreover, clearing the page table entry's accessed bit and setting the
page's PG_REFERENCED flag can throw off the page daemon's activity
count calculation. Finally, in my tests, I found that 15% of the
atomic memory operations being performed by pmap_protect() were only
to clear PG_A, and not change protection. This could, by itself, be
fixed, but I don't see the point given the above argument.
Remove a comment from pmap_protect_pde() that is no longer meaningful
after the above change.
