The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS mode
without the Active flag in the Protective MBR. Suggest the workaround
during installation.
Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior,
I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would like
to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say,
2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before
committing such a change.

Non-interactive forth command errors where silent even for critical issues
e.g. failing to load a required kernel module or mfs_root.
This resulted in later unexplained and hard to trace errors such as mount
root failures.
This introduces additional command return codes that are treated
appropriately by the non-interactive command processor (bf_command).
* CMD_CRIT = print error
* CMD_FATAL = panic
Also fix minor style(9) issues with command_load return codes.

destructor. As result, close method becomes trivial and removed.
Final cdevsw close method might be called without file
context (e.g. in vn_open_vnode() if the vnode is reclaimed meantime),
which leaves ap_sigio registered for notification, despite cdevpriv
destructor frees the memory later.
Call destructor instead of doing a cleanup inline, for
devfs_set_cdevpriv() failure in open. This adds missed funsetown(9)
call and locks ap to satisfy audit_pipe_free() invariants.

tests/sys/geom/class/{concat,eli,gate,mirror,nop,raid3,shsec,stripe,uzip}
The tools/regression/geom and tools/regression/geom_part testcases are being
left alone because both test sets are both currently broken.
The majority of this work was done on ^/user/ngie/more-tests2 . The differences
are as follows:
- tests/sys/geom/class/Makefile.inc is not present; it was
inlined into the class's Makefiles for explicitness.
- The testcases officially require root via kyua
- The geom_gate(4) tests don't use the pidfile changes proposed in

The EFSYS_OPT_RX_HDR_SPLIT optional feature in the common code
implemented the Lookahead Split feature of Windows. This split
received packets at a preconfigured byte offset, and delivered
the header and payload portions to separate receive queues.
Now the common code interface has no callers, so remove it.
Note that this should not be confused with the Header Data Split
feature of Windows, which splits packets at a header boundary.

infinitely less buggy than code that is theoretically correct in some

The uintfptr_t type is apparently a freebsd invention, and exists only when
compiling the kernel. It's a little hard to say for sure, since it doesn't
seem to be documented anywhere except in email advice to unsuspecting and
overly-trusting souls, who then get to wear the pointy hat for blindly
following advice without investigating or testing it first.

option to invert the polarity in software. Also add an option to capture
very narrow pulses by using the hardware's MSR delta-bit capability of
latching line state changes.
This effectively reverts the mistake I made in r286595 which was based on
empirical measurements made on hardware using TTL-level signaling, in which
the logic levels are inverted from RS-232. Thus, this re-syncs the polarity
with the requirements of RFC 2783, which is writen in terms of RS-232
signaling.
Narrow-pulse mode uses the ability of most ns8250 and similar chips to
provide a delta indication in the modem status register. The hardware is
able to notice and latch the change when the pulse width is shorter than
interrupt latency, which results in the signal no longer being asserted by
time the interrupt service code runs. When running in this mode we get
notified only that "a pulse happened" so the driver synthesizes both an
ASSERT and a CLEAR event (with the same timestamp for each). When the pulse
width is about equal to the interrupt latency the driver may intermittantly
see both edges of the pulse. To prevent generating spurious events, the
driver implements a half-second lockout period after generating an event
before it will generate another.
