for calculating the job number for a job based on the control-file name.
We might receive cf-files named by other implementations of lpr, where
the job number shown by lpq would not match the job number that other
commands expected for the same name.
This also uses a newer algorithm for determining a job number, to avoid
problems caused when a control-file is named using an IP address, instead
of the hostname.
This also moved the declaration if isowner() from lp.h to rmjob.c. When I
went to change the parameters, I noticed that rmjob.c was the only source
file which uses it.

rather than a next pointer equal to the original offset.
control-file for each print job. This is partially because the previous
checks still let through some characters which would cause trouble for
other applications which try to process the resulting userid -- such as
accounting programs.
But the main reason is to handle the case where some remote host sends a
print job where the given userid is an uppercase-version of the real userid.
For that case, lpd will now check for uppercase letters in the userid. If
there are any, it will check to see if the given userid (with the uppercase
letters) is a valid one. If it is *not* valid, then lpd will change the
userid to all-lowercase right when the job is received.

schedulers a bit to ensure more correct handling of priorities and fewer
priority inversions:
- Add two functions to the sched(9) API to handle priority lending:
sched_lend_prio() and sched_unlend_prio(). The turnstile code uses these
functions to ask the scheduler to lend a thread a set priority and to
tell the scheduler when it thinks it is ok for a thread to stop borrowing
priority. The unlend case is slightly complex in that the turnstile code
tells the scheduler what the minimum priority of the thread needs to be
to satisfy the requirements of any other threads blocked on locks owned
by the thread in question. The scheduler then decides where the thread
can go back to normal mode (if it's normal priority is high enough to
satisfy the pending lock requests) or it it should continue to use the
priority specified to the sched_unlend_prio() call. This involves adding
a new per-thread flag TDF_BORROWING that replaces the ULE-only kse flag
for priority elevation.
- Schedulers now refuse to lower the priority of a thread that is currently
borrowing another therad's priority.
- If a scheduler changes the priority of a thread that is currently sitting
on a turnstile, it will call a new function turnstile_adjust() to inform
the turnstile code of the change. This function resorts the thread on
the priority list of the turnstile if needed, and if the thread ends up
at the head of the list (due to having the highest priority) and its
priority was raised, then it will propagate that new priority to the
owner of the lock it is blocked on.
Some additional fixes specific to the 4BSD scheduler include:
- Common code for updating the priority of a thread when the user priority
of its associated kse group has been consolidated in a new static
function resetpriority_thread(). One change to this function is that
it will now only adjust the priority of a thread if it already has a
time sharing priority, thus preserving any boosts from a tsleep() until
the thread returns to userland. Also, resetpriority() no longer calls
maybe_resched() on each thread in the group. Instead, the code calling
resetpriority() is responsible for calling resetpriority_thread() on
any threads that need to be updated.
- schedcpu() now uses resetpriority_thread() instead of just calling
sched_prio() directly after it updates a kse group's user priority.
- sched_clock() now uses resetpriority_thread() rather than writing
directly to td_priority.
- sched_nice() now updates all the priorities of the threads after the
group priority has been adjusted.

generic bridge support was biting us more than it helped, whenever a new chipset
came out from a vendor and misprogramming it caused strange hangs or corruption.
[2] Add a large number of PCI IDs based on what the linux drivers support.
Note that the new PCI IDs haven't been tested, they're just *likely* to work.
In particular the VIA AGP 8x chipsets are concerning, due to lack of testing,
possible issues (kern/69953), and not having a nice "does this bridge say it
would do 8x" function. However, this shouldn't make the situation worse, since
these chips would have probed in the past anyway.
