- Jordan went into DST in the last Thursday in March instead of the
last Friday in March.
- Palestine has extended the DST time with one week before and one
month after.

Not only did these two drivers depend on IFF_NEEDSGIANT, they were
broken 7 months ago during the MPSAFE TTY import. if_ppp(4) has been
replaced by ppp(8). There is no replacement for if_sl(4).
If we see regressions in for example the ports tree, we should just use
__FreeBSD_version 800045 to check whether if_ppp(4) and if_sl(4) are
present. Version 800045 is used to denote the import of MPSAFE TTY.
Discussed with: rwatson, but also rwatson's IFF_NEEDSGIANT emails on the
lists.
provided, for example, on the PowerPC 970 (G5), as well as on related CPUs
like the POWER3 and POWER4.
This also adds support for various built-in hardware found on Apple G5
hardware (e.g. the IBM CPC925 northbridge).

avoidance:
- Enable setting the RXCSUM and TXCSUM flags for loopback interfaces;
set both by default.
- When RXCSUM is set, flag packets sent over the loopback interface as
having checked and valid IP, UDP, TCP checksums so that higher
protocol layers won't check them.
- Always clear CSUM_{IP,UDP_TCP} checksum required flags on transmit,
as they will have gotten there as a result of TXCSUM being set.
This is done only for packets explicitly sent over the loopback, not
simulated loopback via if_simloop() due to !SIMPLEX interfaces, etc.
Note that enabling TXCSUM but not RXCSUM will lead to unhappiness, as
checksums won't be generated but will be validated.
Kris reports that this leads to significant performance improvements
in loopback benchmarking with TCP and UDP for throughput:
RXCSUM RXCSUM+TXCSUM
TCP 15% 37%
UDP 10% 74%
