The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

netgraph(3) points to #include <netgraph/netgraph.h>, which is kernel only.
The man page refers to the user-space part of the netgraph module, which is
located in <netgraph.h>.

The default package use to be FreeBSD-runtime but it should only contain
binaries and libs enough to boot to single user and repair the system, it
is also very handy to have a package that can be tranform to a small mfsroot.
So create a new package named FreeBSD-utilities and make it the default one.
Also move a few binaries and lib into this package when it make sense.

Otherwise concurrently running threads may inadvertently use the same
token for different messages.
Preserve the behaviour of disallowing negative message tokens, but allow
a message token value of zero since this simplifies the code a bit and
tokens are documented to be non-negative.

had been replied, the reply was always delivered to the originator
synchronously.
With introduction of netgraph item callbacks and a wait channel with
mutex in ng_socket(4), we have fixed the problem with ngctl(8) returning
earlier than the command has been proceeded by target node. But still
ngctl(8) can return prior to the reply has arrived to its node.
To fix this:
- Introduce a new flag for netgraph(4) messages - NGM_HASREPLY.
This flag is or'ed with message like NGM_READONLY.
- In netgraph userland library if we have sent a message with
NGM_HASREPLY flag, then select(2) until reply comes.
- Mark appropriate generic commands with NGM_HASREPLY flag,
gathering them into one enum {}. Bump generic cookie.
and NgAllocRecvData(), that dynamically allocate buffer for a binary
message, an ascii message, and a data packet, respectively. The size
of the allocated buffer is equal to the socket's receive buffer size
to guarantee that a message or a data packet is not truncated.
- Get rid of the static size buffer in NgSendAsciiMsg().
