o Fortunately it turned out to be an unused constant left over from an
earlier implementation, and is therefore being removed so as not to

The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

- Autodetection and support of the BIOS EDD extensions to work around the
1024 cylinder limit on all but really ancient BIOS's.
- To work around some BIOS's which break when EDD is used with older drives,
we only attempt to use EDD if the cylinder is > 1023.
- Since this new code required more space than we had left, expand boot0 to
2 sectors (1024 bytes) in length.
- Add support for boot0 being multiple sectors using predefined constants.
If boot0 needs to be extended in the future, all that is required is
bumping the NUM_SECTORS constant.
- Now that we have more room to work with, add a few more fs type
descriptions while making others more verbose.

instead, use the bus_print_child_* functions to display the error message.
Also, since this is more of a warning than an error, hide it behind
bootverbose.
Similarly, if isa_assign_resources() fails to allocate resources to a
device, use bus_print_child_header() instead of device_printf(), and
display the resources that could not be allocated if bootverbose is true.

the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3

hose are 16 PCI instances apart. This allows us to recognize secondary
PCI busses (at least to a first level) until the pci infrastructure is
fixed.
Turn on support for secondary cycles, too. Redo debug printouts.
Instead, for now (until we get a pci infrastructure cleanup),
assign the PCI bus number to be mcpcia bus instance << 4. This
is to allow secondary bridges some room to be recongnized on
4100 systems.
Currently, many drivers support more than one bus of ISA, EISA, MCA,
PCI.
Before this commit, we had, for example, some SCSI devices listed more
than once, iirc, some up to three times (ISA/EISA, MCA, PCI).
Since now the "device" line is common for all of them and they only
differ for the hints stuff, I did the following:
First, list Busses: (E)ISA, MCA, PCI and explain, that only ISA
needs the hints stuff.
Move NIC/SCSI stuff, which were the only split sections, behind these
stuff. Describe all drivers only one time and list all supported
chips.
List all device (+ hints for ISA, if possible).
I've also added few additional supported chips to some drivers, xl for
example and some SCSI drivers.
Also, softupdates is no longer disabled by default, so the comment should
not say, it's not enabled by default due to license issues.
