5d0c7501b6 Extend i4b to support CAPI manager based ISDN controllers (CAPI manager is part of
c4b, CAPI for BSD). This is a preparation to add CAPI for BSD to the source tree.

44a8277bc6 Updated the XBOX kernel to use the new nfe(4) driver obtained from
OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and
should lead to better maintainability in the future.

The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still
required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will
almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.

9f8d2f6c8d Note that an old adjkerntz is not really usable after the recent
sysctlbyname() changes, so the new adjkerntz binary should be
used while in single-user mode.

While one is expected to run mergemaster -p before installworld, make
a note of the points where this will actively fail due to the addition of
users/groups.

8d96e45531 Retire NETSMBCRYPTO as a kernel option and make its functionality
enabled by default in NETSMB and smbfs.ko.

With the most of modern SMB providers requiring encryption by
default, there is little sense left in keeping the crypto part
of NETSMB optional at the build time.

This will also return smbfs.ko to its former properties users
are rather accustomed to.

375ce6798f Take the functionality contained in the former "options TDFX_LINUX"
into a separate module.  Accordingly, convert the option into a device
named similarly.

Note for MFC: Perhaps the option should stay in RELENG_6 for POLA reasons.

e2a3608153 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

7657f59596 - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a new
ifconfig_DEFAULT variable.  Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
   applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
   variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
 - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
   removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
   in the list of canidates.
 - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
   options so nat works.

a8e72fd37a cleanup a danging reference to cleaning up /etc/fstab. Since we don't
support 4->6 upgrades, this is moot.  Most 4.x installations even,
have things compatible with 5 at thsi point, but some don't, so I'll
