USB CORE: busdma improvement
For single segment allocations the boundary field
of the BUSDMA tag should be zero. Currently all
single segment allocations are less than or equal
to 4096 bytes, so the limit does not kick in. If
any single segment USB allocations would be greater
than 4K, then it would be a problem.

There does not appear to be any purpose to having these timestamps, and
they have the irritating consequence that the aforementioned files will
be different every time they are rebuilt.
After this commit, the only remaining build timestamps are in the kernel,
the boot loaders, /usr/include/osreldate.h (the year in the copyright
notice), and lib*.a (the timestamps on all of the included .o files).

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

is invalid because the ioctl happens without prior open. The ioctl
got introduced to provide backward compatibility for extended
partitions, but it ended up not being used because it didn't work
as expected. Since there are no consumers of the ioctl and the
implementation is broken, the best fix is to remove the code
entirely.

via cpuctl(4) driver. Two new CPUCTL_MSRSBIT and CPUCTL_MSRCBIT ioctl(2)
calls treat the data field of the argument struct passed as a mask
and set/clear bits of the MSR register according to the mask value.
- Allow user to perform atomic bitwise AND and OR operaions on MSR registers
via cpucontrol(8) utility. Two new operations ("&=" and "|=") have been
added. The first one applies bitwise AND operaion between the current
contents of the MSR register and the mask, and the second performs bitwise
OR. The argument can be optionally prefixed with "~" inversion operator.
This allows one to mimic the "clear bit" behavior by using the command
like this:
cpucontrol -m 0x10&=~0x02 # clear the second bit of TSC MSR
Inversion operator support in all modes (assignment, OR, AND).

inbound data waiting on a filedescriptor, such as a pipe or a socket,
for instance by using select(2), poll(2), kqueue(2), ioctl(FIONREAD)
etc.
But we have no way of finding out if written data have yet to be
disposed of, for instance, transmitted (and ack'ed!) to some remote
host, or read by the applicantion at the far end of the pipe.
The closest we get, is calling shutdown(2) on a TCP socket in
non-blocking mode, but this has the undesirable sideeffect of
preventing future communication.
Add a complement to FIONREAD, called FIONWRITE, which returns the
number of bytes not yet properly disposed of. Implement it for
all sockets.
Background:
A HTTP server will want to time out connections, if no new request
arrives within a certain period after the last transmitted response
has actually been sent (and ack'ed).
For a busy HTTP server, this timeout can be subsecond duration.
In order to signal to a load-balancer that the connection is truly
dead, TCP_RST will be the preferred method, as this avoids the need
for a RTT delay for FIN handshaking, with a client which, surprisingly
often, no longer at the remote IP number.
If a slow, distant client is being served a response which is big
enough to fill the window, but small enough to fit in the socket
buffer, the write(2) call will return immediately.
If the session timeout is armed at that time, all bytes in the
response may not have been transmitted by the time it fires.
FIONWRITE allows the timeout to check that no data is outstanding
on the connection, before it TCP_RST's it.
