longer do we require SCTP to be in the kernel for the
lib to be able to handle SCTP. We do this by moving
the CRC32c checksum into libkern/crc32.c and then adjusting
all routines to use the common methods. Note that this
will improve the performance of iSCSI since they were
using the old single 256 bit table lookup versus the
slicing 8 algorithm (which gives a 4x speed up in
CRC32c calculation :-D)

MFC after: 4 week? (assuming we MFC the alias_sctp changes)
many bugs fixes, many more performance improvements.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

There are ongoing disputes as to whether we want to switch to directly using

storage as the first argument.
Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.

Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how

This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the

This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version

I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
