FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the
one remaining call that passwd &time as args.
Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is
the same.
Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

Some of these changes are a bit rough and will become
more polished later. the changes to if_ethersubr should largely be moved
to within the appletalk code, but that will happen later.
A few of these were related to network-byteorder problems,
and more were related to loopback failures.
by a protocol, to detirmine if an address matches the net this address
is part of. This is needed by protocols for which netmasks
"just don't work", for example appletalk.
Also add the code in appletalk to make use of this new feature.
Thsi fixes one of the longest standing bugs in appletalk.
The inability to talk to machines to which the path is via a router
which is on a different net, but the same netrange, as your interface.
Protocols that do not supply this function (e.g. IP) should not be affected.
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
Subnets are represented in the routing table as a set of
binary routing nets using the standard netmask algorythm.
The code produces the minimum possible set of standard netmasks and
net addresses to be able to represent a given netrange.
and fix some bugs..
also fix a bug in aarp.c that didn't take netranges into account.
default routes now work with appletalk, which is a poor-man's
way of being able to access netranges if you only have one network :)
Hopefully the full netranges fix will happen soon.
Kernel Appletalk protocol support
both CAP and netatalk can make use of this..
still needs some owrk but it seemd the right tiime to commit it
so other can experiment.
