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.

I/O windows, the default is to preserve the firmware-assigned resources.
PCI bus numbers are only managed if NEW_PCIB is enabled and the architecture
defines a PCI_RES_BUS resource type.
- Add a helper API to create top-level PCI bus resource managers for each
PCI domain/segment. Host-PCI bridge drivers use this API to allocate
bus numbers from their associated domain.
- Change the PCI bus and CardBus drivers to allocate a bus resource for
their bus number from the parent PCI bridge device.
- Change the PCI-PCI and PCI-CardBus bridge drivers to allocate the
full range of bus numbers from secbus to subbus from their parent bridge.
The drivers also always program their primary bus register. The bridge
drivers also support growing their bus range by extending the bus resource
and updating subbus to match the larger range.
- Add support for managing PCI bus resources to the Host-PCI bridge drivers
used for amd64 and i386 (acpi_pcib, mptable_pcib, legacy_pcib, and qpi_pcib).
- Define a PCI_RES_BUS resource type for amd64 and i386.

one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time
(bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

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.

problems (linking problems, so I didn't notice since I unwisely just
built the module).

o Write an activate routine that works.
