- In sched_pickcpu() be more careful taking previous CPU on SMT systems.
Do it only if all other logical CPUs of that physical one are idle to avoid
extra resource sharing.
- In sched_pickcpu() change general logic of CPU selection. First
look for idle CPU, sharing last level cache with previously used one,
skipping SMT CPU groups. If none found, search all CPUs for the least loaded
one, where the thread with its priority can run now. If none found, search
just for the least loaded CPU.
- Make cpu_search() compare lowest/highest CPU load when comparing CPU
groups with equal load. That allows to differentiate 1+1 and 2+0 loads.
- Make cpu_search() to prefer specified (previous) CPU or group if load
is equal. This improves cache affinity for more complicated topologies.
- Randomize CPU selection if above factors are equal. Previous code tend
to prefer CPUs with lower IDs, causing unneeded collisions.
- Rework periodic balancer in sched_balance_group(). With cpu_search()
more intelligent now, make balansing process flat, removing recursion
over the topology tree. That fixes double swap problem and makes load
distribution more even and predictable.
All together this gives 10-15% performance improvement in many tests on
CPUs with SMT, such as Core i7, for number of threads is less then number
of logical CPUs. In some tests it also gives positive effect to systems
without SMT.

been bait-and-switched from the rate control code.
This will avoid the panic that I saw and will avoid sending invalid rates
(eg 11a/11g OFDM rates when in 11b, on 11b-only NICs (AR5211)) where the
rate table is not "big".
It also will point out situations where this occurs for the 11n NICs
which will have sufficiently large rate tables that "invalid rix" doesn't
occur.
I'll try to follow this up with a commit that adds a current operating mode
check. The "rix" is only relevant to the current operating mode and rate
table.

* ath_reset() is being called in softclock context, which may have the
thing sleep on a lock. To avoid this, since we really _shouldn't_
be sleeping on any locks, break out the no-loss reset path into a tasklet
and call that from:
+ ath_calibrate()
+ ath_watchdog()
This has the added advantage that it'll end up also doing the frame
RX cleanup from within the taskqueue context, rather than the softclock
context.
* Shuffle around the taskqueue_block() call to be before we grab the lock
and disable interrupts.
The trouble here is that taskqueue_block() doesn't block currently
queued (but not yet running) tasks so calling it doesn't guarantee
no further tasks (that weren't running on _A_ CPU at the time of this
call) will complete. Calling taskqueue_drain() on these tasks won't
work because if any _other_ thread calls taskqueue_enqueue() for whatever
reason, everything gets very angry and stops working.
This slightly changes the race condition enough to let ath_rx_tasklet()
run before we try disabling it, and thus quietens the warnings a bit.
The (more) true solution will be doing something like the following:
* having a taskqueue_blocked mask in ath_softc;
* having an interrupt_blocked mask in ath_softc;
* only calling taskqueue_drain() on each individual task _after_ the
lock has been acquired - that way no further tasklet scheduling
is going to occur.
* Then once the tasks have been blocked _and_ the interrupt has been
disabled, call taskqueue_drain() on each, ensuring that anything
that _was_ scheduled or running is removed.
The trouble is if something calls taskqueue_enqueue() on a task
after taskqueue_blocked() has been called but BEFORE taskqueue_drain()
has been called, ta_pending will be set to 1 and taskqueue_drain()
will sit there stuck in msleep() until you hard-kill the machine.

Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

unp->unp_vnode pointer to detect if there is a vnode associated with
(binded to) this socket and does necessary cleanup if there is.
The issue is that after forced unmount this check may be too late as
the unp_vnode is reclaimed and the reference is stale.
To fix this provide a helper function that is called on a socket vnode
reclamation to do necessary cleanup.

RTL810x family , RTL8139 has different register map for Config
registers.
While here, follow the lead of re(4) in WOL configuration.
- Disable WOL_UCAST and WOL_MCAST capabilities by default.
- Config5 register write does not need to unlock EEPROM access
on RTL8139 family but unlocking EEPROM access does not affect
its operation and make it consistent with re(4).

according to POSIX document, the clock ID may be dynamically allocated,
it unlikely will be in 64K forever. To make it future compatible, we
pack all timeout information into a new structure called _umtx_time, and
use fourth argument as a size indication, a zero means it is old code
using timespec as timeout value, but the new structure also includes flags
and a clock ID, so the size argument is different than before, and it is
non-zero. With this change, it is possible that a thread can sleep
on any supported clock, though current kernel code does not have such a
POSIX clock driver system.
