when that happens, we happily access our resource array out of
bounds. Make sure we stay within the MAX_ROMS limit.
While here, bump MAX_ROMS from 16 to 32 to minimize the chance
of leaving option ROMs unaccounted for.

Rename it to fdsetugidsafety for consistency with other functions.
There is no need to take filedesc lock if not closing any files.
The loop has to verify each file and we are guaranteed fdtable has space
for at least 20 fds. As such there is no need to check fd_lastfile.
While here tidy up is_unsafe.
the Microsoft Azure service does not recognize the second

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

misconfiguration VM-exit.
An EPT misconfiguration is triggered when the processor encounters a PTE
that is writable but not readable (WR=10). On processors that require A/D
bit emulation PG_M and PG_A map to EPT_PG_WRITE and EPT_PG_READ respectively.
If the PTE is updated as in the following code snippet:
*pte |= PG_M;
*pte |= PG_A;
then it is possible for another processor to observe the PTE after the PG_M
(aka EPT_PG_WRITE) bit is set but before PG_A (aka EPT_PG_READ) bit is set.
This will trigger an EPT misconfiguration VM-exit on the other processor.

timecounter resolution is available, so ask for a 1 GHz frequency. It
won't actually get one that fast, but that'll get the fastest available
clock and use a divisor of 1 (probably 132 or 66mhz on current hardware).
Add support for AMD's nested page tables in pmap.c:
- Provide the correct bit mask for various bit fields in a PTE (e.g. valid bit)
for a pmap of type PT_RVI.
- Add a function 'pmap_type_guest(pmap)' that returns TRUE if the pmap is of
type PT_EPT or PT_RVI.
Add CPU_SET_ATOMIC_ACQ(num, cpuset):
This is used when activating a vcpu in the nested pmap. Using the 'acquire'
variant guarantees that the load of the 'pm_eptgen' will happen only after
the vcpu is activated in 'pm_active'.
Add defines for various AMD-specific MSRs.

EWOULDBLOCK.
Do not print any message at errors. The errors are properly sent to upper
layers which should be able to deal with it, including printing the errors
when they need to.
The error message was quite annoying while scanning the i2c bus.

nullfs and unionfs need to request suspension if underlying filesystem(s)

This involves:
1. Have the loader pass the start and size of the .ctors section to the
kernel in 2 new metadata elements.
2. Have the linker backends look for and record the start and size of
the .ctors section in dynamically loaded modules.
3. Have the linker backends call the constructors as part of the final
work of initializing preloaded or dynamically loaded modules.
Note that LLVM appends the priority of the constructors to the name of
the .ctors section. Not so when compiling with GCC. The code currently
works for GCC and not for LLVM.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

This fix a race where the threads waiting for the bus would wake up early
and still see bus as busy.
While here, give a better description to wmesg for the two use cases we
