are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards
a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing
preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.

There is no manual page yet, but I'm working on it with keramida@.

- `sound'
The generic sound driver, always required.
- `snd_*'
Device-dependent drivers, named after the sound module names.
Configure accordingly to your hardware.
In addition, rename the `snd_pcm' module to `sound' in order to sync
with the driver names.

BOOTP -> bootp

BOOTP_NFSV3 -> bootp.nfsv3
BOOTP_COMPAT -> bootp.compat
BOOTP_WIRED_TO -> bootp.wired_to
This lets you PXE boot with a GENERIC kernel by putting this sort of thing
in loader.conf:
bootp="YES"
bootp.nfsroot="YES"
bootp.nfsv3="YES"
bootp.wired_to="bge1"
or even setting the variables manually from the OK prompt.
step in making this driver more attachment neutral. Others plan on
adding acpi front ends.
Still need to cleanup the MI part of the driver because it isn't as
bus independent as it could be.
FAT32 filesystems to be mounted, subject to some fairly serious limitations.
This works by extending the internal pseudo-inode-numbers generated from
the file's starting cluster number to 64-bits, then creating a table
mapping these into arbitrary 32-bit inode numbers, which can fit in
struct dirent's d_fileno and struct vattr's va_fileid fields. The mappings
do not persist across unmounts or reboots, so it's not possible to export
these filesystems through NFS. The mapping table may grow to be rather
large, and may grow large enough to exhaust kernel memory on filesystems
with millions of files.
Don't enable this option unless you understand the consequences.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))
Manual page cleanups and some comments inside were submitted by
Simon L. Nielsen, who was, as always, very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks to Sam for importing tags in a way that allowed this to be done.

Also allow the sr and ar drivers to create netgraph versions of their modules.
Document the change to the ksocket node.
Version 3.5 brings:
- Atomic commits of ruleset changes (reduce the chance of ending up in an
inconsistent state).
- A 30% reduction in the size of state table entries.
- Source-tracking (limit number of clients and states per client).
- Sticky-address (the flexibility of round-robin with the benefits of
source-hash).
- Significant improvements to interface handling.
- and many more ...
- Remove pflog and pfsync modules. Things will change in such a fashion
that there will be one module with pf+pflog that can be loaded into
GENERIC without problems (which is what most people want). pfsync is no
longer possible as a module.
- Add multicast address for in-kernel multicast pfsync protocol. Protocol
glue will follow once the import is done.
- Add one more mbuf tag
its primary use is for the FEPS/FAS366 SCSI found in Sun Ultra 1e and 2
machines. Once the pci front-end is ported, this driver can replace the
amd(4) driver.
The code as-is is fairly stable. I've disabled tagged-queueing until I can
figure out a corruption bug related to it. I'm importing it now so that
people with these machines can (finally) stop netbooting and report bugs
before 5.3.

hal_raise_irql(void) doesn't take an argument, but it is called with one.
eg: irql = FASTCALL1(hal_raise_irql, DISPATCH_LEVEL);
This is hidden by the macros on i386, but becomes a compile error on amd64
since the arguments are actually checked.
