995c7fd1bf Sync ether_ioctl() with ioctl(2) and ifnet.if_ioctl
as to the type of the command argument: int -> u_long.
These types have different widths in the 64-bit world.

Add a note to UPDATING because the change breaks KBI
on 64-bit platforms.

d092c06c3a Retire most of the classful network behaviour of netstat -r output, for IPv4.
Without -n, we now only print a "network name" without the prefix length
 under the following conditions:
  1) the network address and mask matches a classful network prefix;
  2) getnetbyaddr(3) returns a network name for this network address.

 With -n, we unconditionally print the full unabbreviated CIDR network
 prefix in the form "a.b.c.d/p". 0.0.0.0/0 is still printed as "default".

This change is in preparation for changes such as equal-cost multipath, and
to more generally assist operational deployment of FreeBSD as a modern IPv4
router. There are currently no plans to backport this change.

a580b31a54 Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixes
in every sense.

General
-------

- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
   * Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
     feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
     using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
     endian.
   * Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
     the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
   * Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
     but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.

- Low latency operation
  * Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
    but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
    channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
    combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
    SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
    to what commercial 4front driver do.
  * Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
    result long delay.
  * Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
    DIY:
      1) Download / extract
         http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
      2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
         "for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
         - there should be no "perceivable" differences.
    Double close for PR kern/31445.

  CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
          written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
	  by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.
	  Fixup samples/patches can be found at:
	  http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ports/

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)
  due to closer compatibility with 4front driver.
  Discussed with: marcus@ (long time ago?)

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
  moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
  hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
  Bump __FreeBSD_version.

Driver specific
---------------

- Ditto for sysctls.

- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
  * Numerous cleanups and fixes.
  * _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
   This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
   good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
   IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
   dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.

- snd_ich
  * Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
    initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.
    PR: kern/100169
    Tested by: Kevin Overman <oberman@es.net>
  * Inverted EAPD for few Nec VersaPro.

7c0435b933 MUTEX_PROFILING has been generalized to LOCK_PROFILING. We now profile
wait (time waited to acquire) and hold times for *all* kernel locks. If
the architecture has a system synchronized TSC, the profiling code will
use that - thereby minimizing profiling overhead. Large chunks of profiling
code have been moved out of line, the overhead measured on the T1 for when
it is compiled in but not enabled is < 1%.

This change makes the transition from a default to an option more

44a8277bc6 Updated the XBOX kernel to use the new nfe(4) driver obtained from
OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and
should lead to better maintainability in the future.

The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still
required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will
almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.
