The hardware rate limiting feature is enabled by the RATELIMIT kernel
option. Please refer to ifconfig(8) and the txrtlmt option and the
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE set socket option for more information. This
feature is compatible with hardware transmit send offload, TSO.
A set of sysctl(8) knobs under dev.mce.<N>.rate_limit are provided to
setup the ratelimit table and also to fine tune various rate limit
related parameters.

It seems a shame to ruin the patina of the June 4, 1993 date
on abort.3, especially since it still matched the date of
the SCCS ID, but those are the rules.

I didn't know abort2 existed until it was mentioned on a mailing list.
Mention it in related pages so others can find it easily.

The rescue/crunchgen build avoids linking binaries for the objects it is
building by doing 'make foo.o bar.o' rather than 'make all'. This breaks the
implicit 'beforebuild: depend' dependency which ensured that all source files
were generated and up-to-date before building the object files. This
manifested as a WITH_META_MODE build problem for bin/sh in the rescue build
with syntax.{c,h} not properly being regenerated or recognized as changed in
the dependency graph.

There are risks associated with waiting on a preemptible epoch section.
Change the name to make them not be the default and document the issue

This driver was merged to HEAD one week prior to Exar publicly announcing they
had left the Ethernet market. It is not known to be used and has various code
quality issues spotted by Brooks and Hiren. Retire it in preparation for
FreeBSD 12.0.

Each TCP connection that uses the system default cc_newreno(4) congestion
control algorithm module leaks a "struct newreno" (8 bytes of memory) at
connection initialisation time. The NULL-pointer dereference is only germane
when using the ABE feature, which is disabled by default.
While at it:
- Defer the allocation of memory until it is actually needed given that ABE is
optional and disabled by default.
- Document the ENOMEM errno in getsockopt(2)/setsockopt(2).
- Document ENOMEM and ENOBUFS in tcp(4) as being synonymous given that they are
used interchangeably throughout the code.
- Fix a few other nits also accidentally omitted from the original patch.

freebsd-update depends on phttpget from portsnap. We could move phttpget
out of portsnap and build it as long as WITHOUT_FREEBSD_UPDATE and
WITHOUT_PORTSNAP are not both set, but for now just make the dependency
explicit.

Libcasper and its modules have no static libraries so don't define
paths to them. This fixes LIBADD automatically adding DPADD

This hardware isn't totally ancient, about equal to a mxge(4) or mlx4en(4),
but the company was sold to Exar which then promptly exited the Ethernet
business so the card was commercially available for under 2 years. On deep
search, the only usage of these cards I found was by the importing of the
driver. There are code quality issues identified by Brooks and Hiren and
no visible use nor maintainership that warrant removal from FreeBSD 12.0.

As of r333461 we require ifunc support to link a working amd64 kernel.
The default in-tree bootstrap linker is lld and it has the required
support, as does any modern out-of-tree binutils linker. The in-tree
GNU ld is from binutils 2.17.50 and it does not have ifunc support,
so produce an error rather than a broken kernel.
