bec9e056eb retrofit Safe Mode loader menu item actions
The menu item is now made completely independent with the ACPI item - most
modern systems seem to require ACPI and become even more "unsafe"
without it.
Safe Mode no longer disables APIC for the same reason.
kbdmux is not disabled as this feature has proven itself stable.

New actions:
- SMP is disabled in the Safe Mode now
- eventtimers are forced to periodic mode (some real and virtual systems
  seem to have problems otherwise)
- geom extra vigorous integrity checking is disabled, this is to
  facilitate migration from previous versions

Possible short term to do:
- make SMP switch a separate menu item
- restore APIC switch as a separate menu item

Longer term to do:
- turn various tweaks into separate menu items in a Safe Mode sub-menu

Please consider adding a safety tweak to Safe Mode when introducing
new major features or changes that may cause instabilities.

0566170f70 Provide wbwd(4), a driver for the watchdog timer found on various
Winbond Super I/O chips.

With minor efforts it should be possible the extend the driver to support
further chips/revisions available from Winbond.  In the simplest case
only new IDs need to be added, while different chipsets might require
their own function to enter extended function mode, etc.

- Use dots to provide a line to visually connect the menu
  selections with their values
- Replace Enabled/Disabled with off/On

6791e4f442 Get rid of a spurious warning on the console when booting the kernel
from the interactive loader(8) prompt and beastie_disable="YES" is set
in loader.conf(5). In this case menu.rc is not evaluated and consequently
menu-unset does not have a body yet. This results in the ficl warning
"menu-unset not found" when try-menu-unset invokes menu-unset.

Check for beastie_disable="YES" explicitly, so that the try-menu-unset
word will not attempt to invoke menu-unset because the menu will have
never been configured. [1]
Use the sfind primitive as a last resort as an additional safer approach
conjuring a foreign word safely. [2]

744aebe369 Unset the environment variables associated with individual menu items
before invoking the kernel.

Quoting submitter:

The issue is with the new boot loader menu. It adds many loader variables
including ones that contain ANSI color escapes.

Obviously, these ANSI codes don't play well with serial consoles when
kenv(1) is executed without arguments (reports vary as to what happens,
but it's never pretty).

The net-effect is that kenv(1) no longer reports menu-related variables.

In essence, kenv(1) output should now appear the same as on RELENG_8
(which lacks the new boot loader and didn't use any such variables).
Thus, restoring serial console glory.

d193ed0bed Add driver for Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet.
This driver was written by Alexander Pohoyda and greatly enhanced
by Nikolay Denev. I don't have these hardwares but this driver was
tested by Nikolay Denev and xclin.

Because SiS didn't release data sheet for this controller, programming
information came from Linux driver and OpenSolaris. Unlike other open
source driver for SiS190/191, sge(4) takes full advantage of TX/RX
checksum offloading and does not require additional copy operation in
RX handler.
The controller seems to have advanced offloading features like VLAN
hardware tag insertion/stripping, TCP segmentation offload(TSO) as
well as jumbo frame support but these features are not available
yet. Special thanks to xclin <xclin<> cs dot nctu dot edu dot tw>
who sent fix for receiving VLAN oversized frames.

4507f02e0e lindev(4) [1] is supposed to be a collection of linux-specific pseudo
devices that we also support, just not by default (thus only LINT or
module builds by default).

While currently there is only "/dev/full" [2], we are planning to see more
in the future.  We may decide to change the module/dependency logic in the
future should the list grow too long.

This is not part of linux.ko as also non-linux binaries like kFreeBSD
userland or ports can make use of this as well.

d0ea47437a Update epair(4) to the new netisr implementation and polish
things a bit:
- use dpcpu data to track the ifps with packets queued up,
- per-cpu locking and driver flags
- along with .nh_drainedcpu and NETISR_POLICY_CPU.
- Put the mbufs in flight reference count, preventing interfaces
  from going away, under INVARIANTS as this is a general problem
  of the stack and should be solved in if.c/netisr but still good
  to verify the internal queuing logic.
- Permit changing the MTU to virtually everythinkg like we do for loopback.

d68875eb7e Add alc(4), a driver for Atheros AR8131/AR8132 PCIe ethernet
controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
  o MSI
  o TCP Segmentation offload
  o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
  o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
  o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
  o Jumbo frame
  o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.
