code can read the buffer via sysctl or from a core file. In the core file
case there will be no nulterm, and the code copes with that, but now in the
sysctl case there is a nulterm (there didn't used to be). The least
disruptive way to restore the old behavior (and eliminate a spurious '\000'
at the end of the output) is to remove the nulterm (by decrementing the
buffer length) in the sysctl case.

This change comes from 8.15 but is being backported to FreeBSD releases
not yet using 8.15.

Use sbuf_new() + SYSCTL_OUT() instead of wiring the userland buffer and
using sbuf_new_for_sysctl(). The preallocated 256 byte buffer is always
going to be big enough to hold these results, and this should be more
efficient than wiring the old buffer.
INCLUDENUL is set and sbuf_finish() has been called, the length has been
incremented to count the nulterm byte, and in that case current length is
allowed to be equal to buffer size, otherwise it must be less than.
Add a predicate macro to test for SBUF_INCLUDENUL, and use it in tests, to
be consistant with the style in the rest of this file.

ioctl(2) takes an 'int', making mild abstraction desirable.

This makes FreeBSD guest to not avoid using LAPIC timer, preferring HPET
due to worries about non-existing for virtual CPUs deep sleep states.
Benchmarks of usleep(1) on guest and host show such extra latencies:
- 51us for virtual HPET,
- 22us for virtual LAPIC timer,
- 22us for host HPET and
- 3us for host LAPIC timer.

A comment in the code stated we PROC_LOCK and as a side effect guarantee
all writers released process lock. But at that point such lock was already
taken while we were removing the process from all lists, so it should be already
unreachable.
The goal here is to provide one place altering process credentials.
This eases debugging and opens up posibilities to do additional work when such
an action is performed.
A lot of these embedded boards don't have a unique MAC address per
device stored somewhere unique - sometimes they'll have one MAC
for both arge NICs; someties they'll have one MAC for both arge NICs
/and/ the ath NICs. In these instances, we need to derive device
specific MAC addresses from the base MAC address.
These functions will be used by some follow-up code that'll slot
into if_arge and if_ath.
