These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

This basically restores the spirit of r203535, which was partially reverted
in r205557, while we still map fixed amount to work around transient issues
we experienced with r203535.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
when the original offset is bigger than size of one page. X86BIOS macros
cannot be used here because it is assumed address is only linear in a page.

not change interrupt vector if it is not pointing the ROM itself. Actually,
we just fail shadowing altogether if that is the case because the shadowed
copy will be useless for sure and POST may not be relocatable or useful.
While I'm here, fix a debugging message under bootverbose, really. r211829
fixed one case but broke another. Mea Culpa.
supported by many BIOSes to improve performance of VESA BIOS calls for real
mode OSes but it is not our intention here. However, this may help some
platforms where the video ROMs are inaccessible after suspend, for example.
Note it may consume up to 64K bytes of contiguous memory depending on video
controller model when it is enabled. This feature can be disabled by
setting zero to 'debug.vesa.shadow_rom' loader tunable via loader(8) or
loader.conf(5). The default is 1 (enabled), for now.

First, we compare mode table data against minimum value. If the mode table
does not make sense, we set the minimum in the mode info. When we actually
set the mode, we try VESA BIOS function and compare it against the previous
value. If it makes more sense, update the information.
- Add a separate palette data for 8-bit DAC mode when SC_PIXEL_MODE is set
and fill it up with default gray-scale palette data for text. Now we don't
have to set `hint.sc.0.vesa_mode' to get the default palette data.
- Add a new adapter flag, V_ADP_DAC8 to track whether the controller is
using 8-bit palette format and load correct palette when switching modes.
- Set 8-bit DAC mode only for non-VGA compatible graphics mode.
format is higher than 6-bit instead of relying VGA compatibility flag.
This fixes palette problem of NVIDIA GeForce 6600. Reduce code differences
between palette load/save functions while we are here.
