Clean up some low level bootstrap code:
- stop using the evil 'struct trapframe' argument for mi_startup()
(formerly main()). There are much better ways of doing it.
- do not use prepare_usermode() - setregs() in execve() will do it
all for us as long as the p_md.md_regs pointer is set. (which is
now done in machdep.c rather than init_main.c. The Alpha port did it
this way all along and is much cleaner).
- collect all the magic %cr0 etc register settings into one place and
have the AP's call that instead of using magic numbers (!!) that keep
changing over and over again.
- Make it safe to call kthread_create() earlier, including during the
device probe sequence. It doesn't need the callback mechanism that
NetBSD's version uses.
- kthreads created this way are root-less as they exist before the root
filesystem is mounted. init(1) is set up so that it aquires the root
pointers prior to running. If other kthreads want filesystem acccess
we can make this code more generic.
- set all threads start times once we have decided what time it is.
- init uses a trampoline rather than the evil prepare_usermode() hack.
- kern_descrip.c has a couple of tweaks to deal with forking when there
is no rootdir or cwd etc.
- adjust the early SYSINIT() sequence so that a few prereqisites are in
place. eg: make sure the run queue is initialized before doing forks.
With this, the USB code can easily create a kthread to do the device
tree discovery. (I have tested it, it works nicely).
There are still some open issues before this is truely useful.
- tsleep() does not like working before the clock is running. It
sort-of tries to spin wait, but it can do more useful things now.
- stopping a kthread in kld code at unload time is "interesting" but
we have a solution for that.
The Alpha code needs no changes for this. It already uses pretty much the
same strategies, but a little cleaner.
understand exactly what it is about SMPng that tickles this bug. What I
do know is that the foo_init() routine in most drivers is often called
twice when an interface is brought up. One time is due to the ifconfig(8)
command calling the SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl to set the IFF_UP flag, and another
is probably due to the kernel calling ifp->if_init at some point. In any
case, the SMPng changes seem to affect the timing of these two events in
such a way that there is a significant delay before any packets are sent
onto the wire after the interface is first brought up. This manifested
itself locally as an SMPng test machine which failed to obtain an address
via DHCP when booting up.
It looks like the second call to fxp_init() is happening faster now than
it did before, and I think it catches the chip while it's in the process
of dealing with the configuration command from the first call. Whatever
the case, a FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt event is now generated shortly after
the second fxp_init() call. (This interrupt is apparently never generated
by a non-SMPng kernel, so nobody noticed.)
There are two problems with this: first, fxp_intr() does not handle the
FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt event (it never tests for it or does anything
to deal with it), and second, the meaning of FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA is not
documented in the driver. (Apparently it means "command unit not active.")
Bad coder. No biscuit.
The fix is to have the FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt handled just like the
FXP_SCB_STATACK_CXTNO interrupt. This prevents the state machine for
the configuration/RX filter programming stuff from getting wedged for
several seconds and preventing packet transmission.

This is done by misusing the device minor a bit to encode the
track no there.
So to read track #4 just use /dev/acdNt4 where N is the device #.
The driver no automatically sets the blocksize (sectorsize) to
what the track is set to in the TOC.
This has the nice effect that you can now rip audioi tracks
by simply doing:
dd if=/dev/acdNt2 of=audiotrack2.raw bs=2352
it cant be much simpler than that :)
NOTE: the original acdNa & acdNc device still work as usual,
except the blocksize is set according to track0.

Reflect that the update to routed-2.22 addresses a problem discussed
in PR bin/16941. The updated release also incorporates our local
buffer overflow fix (implemented differently) and puts us in a
position where we are completely synchronized with the master
distribution, apart from the stupid spammage of the #ident
definitions, which are supposed to indicate the release version,
not individual source file revisions.
This distribution was not moved into contrib because of objections
from wollman. He feels that the software is original Berkeley
code that shouldn't be imported into contrib just because it
has an external maintainer.

control field compression. The ng_ppp(4) node correctly follows this
rule. However, PPPoE is an exception: when doing PPPoE *all* frames
are sent with address and control field compression.
Alter this node's behavior so that when an outgoing frame is received,
any leading address and control field bytes are removed. This makes
this node compatible with ng_ppp(4).
