Remove GNU cpio after fix of CVE-2010-0624.
Note that this is actually a no-op for most users, as this GNU
cpio was broken on -HEAD and 8-STABLE since last March until
the recent fix.
FreeBSD 8.0+ uses BSD cpio by default and the code is being
actively maintained.
Improve descriptions, remove turnstiles (since, from what I understand,
they are only used to implement other synchronization primitives), tweak
formatting.
MFC r203127:
Add description of bounded sleep vs unbounded sleep (aka blocking). Move
rules into their own section.

Cosmetic fixes.

Improve description for Giant and mention blocking inside interrupt threads.
MFC r203762:
Start sentences with a new line.

MFC r203825:
Remove list of locking primitives, which is kind of redundant, move
information about witness(9) to the section about interactions, and
expand 'contexts' table.

Correct Samao DST start date (26 Sep vs 24 Oct)
Provide thermal management and monitoring features in smu(4). This allows
fan control and thermal monitoring on SMU-based Apple G5 machines, as well
as an led(4) interface to control the sleep LED.
Add support for a few more Sony-specific ACPI features (default display
brightness, wired LAN power and bass gain), and update the description of
one previously unknown feature (display contrast). While here, expand on
a comment and remove two defines left over from an old version of the code.
Also update man page to document the above changes, and correct grammar.

framebuffer driver, etc. work on FreeBSD/amd64.
A significant amount of improvements were done by jkim@ during the recent
months to make vesa(4) work better, over the initial code import. This
work is based on OpenBSD's x86emu implementation and contributed by
paradox <ddkprog yahoo com> and swell.k at gmail com.
Hopefully I have stolen all their work to 8-STABLE :)
All bugs in this commit are mine, as usual.

Mexico's House of Representatives has approved a proposal for
northern Mexico's border cities to share the same daylight saving
schedule as the United States.
Introduce the new kernel thread called "deadlock resolver".
It is used in order to seek within the threads state and heuristically
understand if there is any deadlock happening.
In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq
rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.
