1. Make it more SMP polite. Previous version uses average CPU load that
often leads to load underestimation. It make powerd with default
configuration unusable on systems with more then 2 CPUs. I propose to use
summary load instead of average one. IMO this is the best we can do without
specially tuned scheduler. Also as soon as measuring total load on SMP
systems is more useful then total idle, I have switched to it.
2. Make powerd's operation independent from number and size of frequency
levels. I have added internal frequency counter which translated into real
frequencies only on a last stage and only as good as gone. Some systems may
have only several power levels, while others - many of them, so adaptation
time with previous approach was completely different.
3. As part of previous I have changed adaptive mode to rise frequency on
demand up to 2 times and fall on 1/8 per time internal.
4. For desktop (AC-powered) systems I have added one more mode - "hiadaptive".
It rises frequency twice faster, drops it 4 times slower, prefers twice
lower CPU load and has additional delay before leaving the highest frequency
after the period of maximum load. This mode was specially made to improve
interactivity of the systems where operation capabilities are more
significant then power consumption, but keeping maximum frequency all the
time is not needed.
5. I have reduced default polling interval from 1/2 to 1/4 of second.
It is not so important for algorithm math now, but gives better system
interactivity.

formatting a number in a human-friendly way.
Note that with this commit a megabyte changed from 1000000 to
1048576 and a 80G disk is now printed as being 75G in size.
This is deliberate. It's consistent with the core of geom(8).
However, the original choice for a megabyte being 1000000 was
on purpose and matches what disk vendors put on the box. The
consistency is considered more important.

This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:
- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties
- New failure modes
Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests
- Refquota, refreservation properties
Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.
- Sparse volumes
ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.
- External attributes
Compatible with extattr(2).
- NFSv4-ACLs
Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

- Creation-time properties
- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.

read before we configure the card, so we can implement
/dev/cardbus*.cis. Also, do this on a per-child basis, so we now have
a different name than before. I think i'll have to fix that for some
legacy tools to keep working.
I can now do a dumpcis on my running atheros card and have it still work!
kern_unlinkat(), that expects that vn_start_write() actually fills the mp
even when the call failed.
As Tor noted, that pattern relies on the the type stability of the mount
points, as well as that suspended mount points are never freed and
V_XSLEEP is always passed to vn_start_write() when called on a freed
mount point.

rerun of the streaming cache for silicon bug workarounds.
- Announce the presence of a streaming cache on attach for
informational purposes.
- For performance reasons don't do unnecessary flushes of the

- Fix some minor style issues.
class CPUs. In theory one could also use versions additionally
taking advantage of the prefetch cache with cheetah-class CPUs,
in my worldstone runs these either didn't provide extra speedup
(USIII+) in comparison to the existing spitfire versions or were
even slightly slower (USIIIi) though, so they aren't committed
for now.
The basic problem leading to the VIS-based copy/zero functions
being initially disabled for cheetah-class CPUs was solved by
letting cheetah_init() clear DCR_IFPOE.

the description of this flag up accordingly in order to document

- Reword the description of BUS_DMA_NOCACHE as this flag is also
implemented on sparc64.

UT_HOSTSIZE and UT_LINESIZE are too small right now. If we ever bump
UT_HOSTSIZE, we must not forget to increase UT_LINESIZE as well. If we
add a comment, we're pretty sure we increase both values at the same
time.
