Althought the comments say the datasheet doesn't list the device ID
registers on the M2/MX, they seem to be there and quite alive.
(It's interesting to note that the M2/MX calls itself a 686 class cpu but
is missing a heck of a lot of features, including VME, PGE, PSE, etc)
NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
This change is likely to introduce a few linebreaks in the boot
messages, but that is not easy to solve without breaking syslogd
semantics. Maybe the right fix is to return an integral number
of lines from the kernel driver.

We had run out of bits in the nfs mount flags, I have moved the internal
state flags into a seperate variable. These are no longer visible via
statfs(), but I don't know of anything that looks at them.

options BROOKTREE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT=BROOKTREE_PAL
in the kernel config file makes the driver's video_open() function
select PAL rather than NTSC. This fixed all the hangs on my
Dual Crystal card when using a PAL video signal.
As a result, you can loose the tsleep (of 2 seconds - now 0.25!!)
which I previously added. (Unless someone else wanted the 0.25
second tsleep).
uses readtcp() to gather data from the network; readtcp() uses select(),
with a timeout of 35 seconds. The problem with this is that if you
connect to a TCP server, send two bytes of data, then just pause, the
server will remain blocked in readtcp() for up to 35 seconds, which is
sort of a long time. If you keep doing this every 35 seconds, you can
keep the server occupied indefinitely.
To fix this, I modified readtcp() (and its cousin, readunix() in svc_unix.c)
to monitor all service transport handles instead of just the current socket.
This allows the server to keep handling new connections that arrive while
readtcp() is running. This prevents one client from potentially monopolizing
a server.
Also, while I was here, I fixed a bug in the timeout calculations. Someone
attempted to adjust the timeout so that if select() returned EINTR and the
loop was restarted, the timeout would be reduced so that rather than waiting
for another 35 seconds, you could never wait for more than 35 seconds total.
Unfortunately, the calculation was wrong, and the timeout could expire much
sooner than 35 seconds.
