too, so, instead of descending to the i386 directory, we add some magic to
the parent Makefile.
These man pages refer to drivers that I'm aware that work on amd64. Most
likely there are more, but I'll deal with them later.

memory area's base and limit are optional. The low 4-bits of the "low"
prefetchable registers indicates whether or not a 32-bit or 64-bit
region is supported. The PCI-PCI driver had been assuming that all bridges
supported a 64-bit region (and thus the two upper 32-bit registers). Fix
the driver to only use those registers if the low 4-bits of the "low"
registers indicate that a 64-bit region is supported. The PCI-PCI bridge
in the XBox happens to be a bridge that only supports a 32-bit region.

complains about "Malformed numbers" while unpacking the dists and
what winds up on the disk isn't correct. Use this as an opportunity
to switch over to bsdcpio since at this point we don't even build
and install the gnu cpio by default. Note sysinstall needed to be
tweaked a bit (dropping tape block size setting) because it seems
bsdcpio doesn't do anything with block sizes, at least as far as
reading from archives goes. That wasn't really a problem since
installations from tape have been broken for a while and the rest
of sysinstall's tape support code will be removed shortly.
tape have been broken for quite a while, and I'll be removing the rest
of sysinstall's knowledge of tapes shortly. I'm doing this piece now
because I want to switch from gnu's cpio to bsdcpio being integrated
into the installation environment and bsdcpio doesn't seem to handle
block sizes at all.

This may contain multibyte characters (e.g. when using UTF-8).
This string is then aligned on byte-length rathern than char-length,
resulting in misalignment and unfinished multibyte characters.

We used to have a single wait channel inside the kernel which could be
used by threads that just wanted to sleep for some time (the next
second). The old TTY layer was the only piece of code that still used
lbolt, because I already removed the use of lbolt from the NFS clients
and the VFS syncer.

The routines in grantpt.c have been moved to ptsname.c in the MPSAFE TTY
layer, because grantpt() is now effectively a no-op. I forgot to remove
the corresponding source file from libc.
I initially didn't want to integrate the Xen console driver, because it
did not receive any testing. Kip Macy suggested that I'd better check it
in right now, because this is the easiest way for him to test it while
he is working on the Xen import.

For some reason, sys/sys/tty.h was only half patched. This went by
unnoticed, because the copyright notice on the top already displayed my
name, so I thought the file went in properly.

The previous commit also included changes to all the system call lists,
but it is a tradition to update these lists in a second commit, so rerun
make sysent to update the $FreeBSD$ tags inside these files to refer to
the latest version of syscalls.master.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

'kern.cp_time'. For a live kernel it uses the sysctl. For a crashdump,
it first checks to see if the kernel has a 'cp_time' global symbol. If
it does, it uses that. If that doesn't work, when it uses the recently
added kvm_getmaxcpu(3) and kvm_getpcpu(3) routines to walk all the CPUs
and sum up their counters.

This fixes an occasional panic I've been seeing in softclock() where a bad
