Version 3.5 brings:
- Atomic commits of ruleset changes (reduce the chance of ending up in an
inconsistent state).
- A 30% reduction in the size of state table entries.
- Source-tracking (limit number of clients and states per client).
- Sticky-address (the flexibility of round-robin with the benefits of
source-hash).
- Significant improvements to interface handling.
- and many more ...
- Remove pflog and pfsync modules. Things will change in such a fashion
that there will be one module with pf+pflog that can be loaded into
GENERIC without problems (which is what most people want). pfsync is no
longer possible as a module.
- Add multicast address for in-kernel multicast pfsync protocol. Protocol
glue will follow once the import is done.
- Add one more mbuf tag
its primary use is for the FEPS/FAS366 SCSI found in Sun Ultra 1e and 2
machines. Once the pci front-end is ported, this driver can replace the
amd(4) driver.
The code as-is is fairly stable. I've disabled tagged-queueing until I can
figure out a corruption bug related to it. I'm importing it now so that
people with these machines can (finally) stop netbooting and report bugs
before 5.3.

hal_raise_irql(void) doesn't take an argument, but it is called with one.
eg: irql = FASTCALL1(hal_raise_irql, DISPATCH_LEVEL);
This is hidden by the macros on i386, but becomes a compile error on amd64
since the arguments are actually checked.
modules is a very nice way to produce hard-to-find panics. Who would look for
a bug in a Makefile anyway?
Has anyone seen the pointy hat? :-o

can more easily be used INSTEAD OF the hard-working Yarrow.
The only hardware source used at this point is the one inside
the VIA C3 Nehemiah (Stepping 3 and above) CPU. More sources will
be added in due course. Contributions welcome!
stuff was here (NFS) was fixed by Alfred in November. The only remaining
consumer of the stub functions was umapfs, which is horribly horribly
broken. It has missed out on about the last 5 years worth of maintenence
that was done on nullfs (from which umapfs is derived). It needs major
work to bring it up to date with the vnode locking protocol. umapfs really
needs to find a caretaker to bring it into the 21st century.
Functions GC'ed:
vop_noislocked, vop_nolock, vop_nounlock, vop_sharedlock.
