network_ipv6->rc.d/netif integration:
- $ipv6_enable is now obsolete. Instead, IPv6 is enabled by
default if the kernel supports it, and $ipv6_network_interfaces
is "none" by default. If you want to use IPv6, define
$ipv6_network_interfaces and $ifconfig_xxx_ipv6.
An interface which is in $network_interfaces and not in
$ipv6_network_interfaces will be marked as "inet6
-auto_linklocal ifdisabled" (see ifconfig(8)).
- $ipv6_ifconfig_xxx is renamed to ifconfig_xxx_ipv6 for
consistency with other address families. The old variables
still work but can be removed in the future. Note that
ipv6_ifconfig_xxx="..." should be replaced with
ifconfig_xxx_ipv6="inet6 ...".
- Receiving ICMPv6 Router Advertisement is not automatically
enabled even if there is no manual configuration of IPv6 in
rc.conf. If you want it, define
ifconfig_xxx_ipv6="inet6 ... accept_rtadv".
- The rc.d/ip6addrctl now chooses address selection policy based
on $ipv6_prefer, not $ipv6_enable. The default is
ipv6_prefer=NO.
- $router* and $ipv6_router* are replaced with $routed_* and
$route6d_* for consistency. The old variables still work but
can be removed in the future.

automatic link-local address configuration:
- Convert a sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv to one for the
default value of a per-IF flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a
global knob. The default value of the sysctl is 0.
- Add a new per-IF flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL and convert a
sysctl net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal to one for its default
value. The default value of the sysctl is 1.
- Make ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED more robust. It can be used to disable
IPv6 functionality of an interface now.
- Receiving RA is allowed if ip6_forwarding==0 *and*
ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set on that interface. The former
condition will be revisited later to support a "host + router" box
like IPv6 CPE router. The current behavior is compatible with
the older releases of FreeBSD.
- The ifconfig(8) now supports these ND6 flags as well as "nud",
"prefer_source", and "disabled" in ndp(8). The ndp(8) now
supports "auto_linklocal".

"set vesa mode" and higher 16bits of the flag would be the desired mode.
One can now set, for instance, hint.sc.0.flags=0x01680180, which means
that the system should set VESA mode 0x168 upon boot.

- Add vesa kernel options for amd64.
- Connect libvgl library and splash kernel modules to amd64 build.
- Connect manual page dpms(4) to amd64 build.
- Remove old vesa/dpms files.

Update the error handling in a couple of cases to exit gracefully if
certain mandatory conditions aren't met.
Reduce the maximum number of initiators to 8 for this example code. While
1024 is more correct, this example code would act like it was stalled out
even though it was merely allocating the needed structures in init_ccbs()

Now that pty(4) is a loadable kernel module, I'd better move /dev/ptmx
in there as well. This means that pty(4) now provides almost all
pseudo-terminal compatibility code. This means it's very easy to test
whether applications use the proper library interfaces when allocating
pseudo-terminals (namely posix_openpt and openpty).
statically bind IPv4 <-> MAC address at boot time.
In order to use this, the administrator needs to configure the following
rc.conf(5) variable:
- static_arp_pairs: A list of names for static bind pairs, and,
- a series of static_arp_(name): the arguments that is being passed to
``arp -S'' operation.
Example:
static_arp_pairs="gw"
static_arp_gw="192.168.1.1 00:01:02:03:04:05"
See the rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.

better semantics if a request to append an address range to an existing list
fails.
- When cloning an sglist, properly set the length in the new sglist instead of
leaving the new list empty.
- Properly compute the amount of data added to an sglist via
_sglist_append_buf(). This allows sglist_consume_uio() to properly update
uio_resid.
- When a request to append an address range to a scatter/gather list fails,
restore the sglist to the state it had at the start of the function call
instead of resetting it to an empty list.

using freebsd-update. This applies to using freebsd-update in "upgrade
mode" and normal freebsd-update on a security branch.
The backup kernel will be written to /boot/kernel.old, if the directory
does not exist, or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a
previous backup. Otherwise freebsd-update will generate a new directory
name for use by the backup. By default symbol files are not backed up
to save diskspace and avoid filling up the root partition.
This feature is fully configurable in the freebsd-update config file,
but defaults to enabled.
