Garrett,
Here are some patches for the rate limiting code. It should be faster,
and in particular it doesn't leak malloc'd memory any more when rate_limit'ing
a phyint.
It now uses an mbuf chain at each vif, instead of the static queue array.
This means that the MAXQSIZE is now variable per vif (although there is no
interface to change it other than a debugger); this is an area for more
experimentation.

Implement the slip/ppp "hotchar" detection to improve latency
Debug the L_RINT bypass code..
Fix an interesting feature that caused 8-bit chars to loose their top bit
in some circumstances..
This finishes the remaining outstanding problems that I'm aware of, with
the exception of efficiency... Optimizing can come later after it's fully
debugged.
Claim the major numbers (before sombedoy else jumps in again and
claims the slots for his foocd driver :-), install all the hooks that
are required.
While i've been at this, i've cleaned up some of the routines at the
end of i386/conf.c; all the importers of the latest CDROM drivers
forgot to fill in the appropriate information. The `ata' driver
(vapourware?) does only occupy a slot in the bdevsw[] array, btw.
The actual import of the code does require a minor change in the SCSI
subsystem, and i want to have this reviewed by Peter first, so it will
be deferred for some days. The driver is already working for me
though.

Found by: gcc -Wstrict-prototypes after I supplied some of the 5000+
missing prototypes. Now I have 9000+ lines of warnings and errors
about bogus conversions of function pointers.
Note, I tested this on a NEC Versa, IBM 750C, and a IBM 755CX w/out
problems. The card still works fine in TP mode.

traps occurred. This also helps ddb backtrace through trap frames.
Backtracing through syscall and interrupt frames still doesn't work
but it is relatively unimportant and more expensive to fix.
ISA GAT mode and hidden refresh seem to cause reliability problems
on Saturn based systems and are now reported when booting with '-v'.

moved to the driver proper, so that <machine/si.h> can be #included by user
programs without needing to include stuff from /sys/i386/isa..
Various (now) redundant features removed, eg: the locks on IXANY and HWFLOW
as these are now done with the "initial" and "lock" termios devices.
Note that it still (for reasons unknown) appears to be masking data to
7-bit with ppp - hence the cleanup to support the debugging via 'sicontrol'
This was originally ported to BSDI by Andy Rutter <andy@acronym.co.uk>.
At the end of the day, this code has very little in common with Andy's
version, or the Specialix SYSV version. Essentially it has been gradually
and almost completely rewritten, with LOTS of advice and inspiration from
Bruce Evans. There are a couple of missing bits still, but they are minor.
The user-mode "sicontrol" program is in sad shape and will come in soon.
Transparent printing died a timely death.. Maybe later..
Jeremy Rolls @ Specialix (Development directory) has confirmed this is OK
to distribute, and Andy personally sent me his version that I started from.
Although this driver stood up to a nasty stress-test in this form, I am not
confident that there are no nasty bugs lurking.
People are welcome to try it, but dont go out and buy one just yet.. :-)
And *DONT* use it on a mission-critical machine... This is ALPHA QUALITY!

for return values. It just so happens that in the cases where it is likely
to fail, it is okay to change the M_NOWAIT to M_WAITOK -- and all will
be well. This problem was manfest as a panic very regularly on a 4MB
system right after bootup.
