Rather than having a tool in the FreeBSD base system for obtaining
the FreeBSD ports tree, users are encouraged to `pkg install git`
and then `git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports`.
The portsnap servers will continue operating until FreeBSD 13 reaches
its End-of-Life, and portsnap is available from the ports tree as
ports-mgmt/portsnap.

These bits are obsolete since 58aa35d429.
This change reverts part of 9ba2b298df as
well as effectively bd3d9826d7, i. e. the
SBus-related modifications. This also gets rid of a nasty hack required
as bus_{read,write}_N(9) doesn't really fit bus_space_subregion(9).
The output of hexadecimal bytes are in lowercase. Update the example to
reflect the reality.

Introduce the OpenBSD syntax of "scrub" option for "match" and "pass"
rules and the "set reassemble" flag. The patch is backward-compatible,

if_bridge receives packets via a special interface, if_bridge_input,
rather than by if_input. Thus, netmap's usual hooking of ifnet routines
does not work as expected. Instead, modify bridge_input() to pass
packets directly to netmap when it is enabled. This applies to both
locally delivered packets and forwarded packets.
When a netmap application transmits a packet by writing it to the host
TX ring, the mbuf chain is passed to if_input, which ordinarily points
to ether_input(). However, when transmitting via if_bridge,
bridge_input() needs to see the packet again in order to decide whether
to deliver or forward. Thus, introduce a new protocol flag,
M_BRIDGE_INJECT, which 1) causes the packet to be passed to
bridge_input() again after Ethernet processing, and 2) avoids passing
the packet back to netmap. The source MAC address of the packet is used
to determine the original "receiving" interface.

Currently, sysctls which enable KDB in some way are flagged with
CTLFLAG_SECURE, meaning that you can't modify them if securelevel > 0.
This is so that KDB cannot be used to lower a running system's
securelevel, see commit 3d7618d8bf. However, the newer mac_ddb(4)
restricts DDB operations which could be abused to lower securelevel
while retaining some ability to gather useful debugging information.
To enable the use of KDB (specifically, DDB) on systems with a raised
securelevel, change the KDB sysctl policy: rather than relying on
CTLFLAG_SECURE, add a check of the current securelevel to kdb_trap().
If the securelevel is raised, only pass control to the backend if MAC
specifically grants access; otherwise simply check to see if mac_ddb
vetoes the request, as before.
Add a new secure sysctl, debug.kdb.enter_securelevel, to override this
behaviour. That is, the sysctl lets one enter a KDB backend even with a
raised securelevel, so long as it is set before the securelevel is
raised.
