- Teach SCHED_4BSD to inform cpu_idle() about high sleep/wakeup rate to
choose optimized handler. In case of x86 it is MONITOR/MWAIT. Also it
will be needed to bypass forthcoming idle tick skipping logic to not
consume resources on events rescheduling when it won't give any benefits.
- Teach SCHED_4BSD to wake up idle CPUs without using IPI. In case of x86,
when MONITOR/MWAIT is active, it require just single memory write. This
doubles performance on some heavily switching test loads.
zack.kirsch at isilon.com for a race between nfsrv_freeopen()
and nfsrv_getlockfile() in the experimental NFS server that
he found during testing. Although nfsrv_freeopen() holds a
sleep lock on the lock file structure when called with
cansleep != 0, nfsrv_getlockfile() could still search the
list, once it acquired the NFSLOCKSTATE() mutex. I believe
that acquiring the mutex in nfsrv_freeopen() fixes the race.

that it works correctly for ZFS file handles. It is possible to
have two ZFS file handles that differ only in the bytes in the
fid_reserved field of the generic "struct fid" and comparing the
bytes in fid_data didn't catch this case. This patch changes the
macro to compare all bytes of "struct fid".

Bring in a driver for the LSI Logic MPT2 6Gb SAS controllers.
This driver supports basic I/O, and works with SAS and SATA drives and
expanders.
Basic error recovery works (i.e. timeouts and aborts) as well.
Integrated RAID isn't supported yet, and there are some known bugs.
So this isn't ready for production use, but is certainly ready for
testing and additional development. For the moment, new commits to this
driver should go into the FreeBSD Perforce repository first
(//depot/projects/mps/...) and then get merged into -current once
they've been vetted.
This has only been added to the amd64 GENERIC, since that is the only
architecture I have tested this driver with.

expr(1) should usually not be used as various forms of parameter expansion
and arithmetic expansion replicate most of its functionality in an easier
way.
getopt(1) should not be used at all in new code. Instead, getopts(1) or
entirely manual parsing should be used.

Now if the original vdev (the one we are replacing) is still present we will
read from it, but if it is not present we won't read from the new vdev, as it
might not have enough valid data yet.
