the scratch RAM for data normally found in the SEEPROM (presumably in the
event that the SEEPROM is unavailable or can't be read). This code causes
a spontaneous reboot on monster.osd.bsdi.com, which has an embedded aic7880
controller. The problem appears to happen either when it writes to the
SCBPTR port and then reads from the SCB_CONTROL port. Somewhere during
the inb/outb operations, the system has a heart attack and restarts.
This code looks very suspicious, particularly since it has unconditionalized
debug mesages such as "Got here!" and "And it even worked!". With this
block #ifdef'ed out, the machine boots and runs properly. I stronly suggest
that it stay #ifdef'ed out until it's properly tested.
<stand.h>. Also, since bcache_strategy() used to not have a prototype,
arcdisk happily called bcache_strategy() with 6 parameters instead of 7,
leaving out the disk unit number, which is the 2nd parameter. Add in the
unit number to the bcache_strategy() call to fix this.
When this happens, we know for sure that the packet data was not
received by the peer. Therefore, back out any advancing of the
transmit sequence number so that we send the same data the next
time we transmit a packet, avoiding a guaranteed missed packet and
its resulting TCP transmit slowdown.
In most systems ip_output() probably never returns an error, and
so this problem is never seen. However, it is more likely to occur
with device drivers having short output queues (causing ENOBUFS to
be returned when they are full), not to mention low memory situations.
Moreover, because of this problem writers of slow devices were
required to make an unfortunate choice between (a) having a relatively
short output queue (with low latency but low TCP bandwidth because
of this problem) or (b) a long output queue (with high latency and
high TCP bandwidth). In my particular application (ISDN) it took
an output queue equal to ~5 seconds of transmission to avoid ENOBUFS.
A more reasonable output queue of 0.5 seconds resulted in only about
50% TCP throughput. With this patch full throughput was restored in
the latter case.

per minute limit of 256 connections. Document this in man page.
Don't use maxchild as a boolean - instead check if it is greater
