This was located in the ubsa driver, but should be moved into a separate
driver:
- 3G modems provide multiple serial ports to allow AT commands while the PPP
connection is up.
- 3G modems do not provide baud rate or other serial port settings.
- Huawei cards need specific initialisation.
- ubsa is for Belkin adapters, an Linuxy choice for another device like 3G.
Speeds achieved here with a weak signal at best is ~40kb/s (UMTS). No spooky

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

and bcmp are not the same thing. 'man bcmp' states that the return is
"non-zero" if the two byte strings are not identical. Where as,
'man memcmp' states that the return is the "difference between the
first two differing bytes (treated as unsigned char values" if the
two byte strings are not identical.
So provide a proper memcmp(9), but it is a C implementation not a tuned
assembly implementation. Therefore bcmp(9) should be preferred over memcmp(9).
Reverse the direction of pmap_promote_pde()'s traversal over the specified
page table page. The direction of the traversal can matter if
pmap_promote_pde() has to remove write access (PG_RW) from a PTE that
hasn't been modified (PG_M). In general, if there are two or more such
PTEs to choose among, it is better to write protect the one nearer the
high end of the page table page rather than the low end. This is because
most programs access memory in an ascending direction. The net result of
this change is a sometimes significant reduction in the number of failed
promotion attempts and the number of pages that are write protected by
pmap_promote_pde().

Tweak the promotion test in pmap_promote_pde(). Specifically, test PG_A
before PG_M. This sometimes prevents unnecessary removal of write access
from a PTE. Overall, the net result is fewer demotions and promotion
failures.
core of this change generalizes the initial page directory setup so that
the kernel can be given arbitrarily large or small.

Discussed on: current
On the i386 architecture, the processor only saves the current value
of `%esp' on stack if a privilege switch is necessary when entering
the interrupt handler. Thus, `frame->tf_esp' is only valid for
an entry from user mode. For interrupts taken in kernel mode, we
need to determine the top-of-stack for the interrupted kernel
procedure by adding the appropriate offset to the current frame
pointer.

If we find a slot that is only visible via the type 1 I/O port config

timer. Previously, the various divisors were fixed which meant that while
it gave somewhat reasonable stathz, etc. at hz=1000, it went off the rails
with any other hz value. With these changes, we now pick a lapic timer hz
based on the value of hz. If hz is >= 1500, then the lapic timer runs at
hz. If 1500 hz >= 750, we run the lapic timer at hz * 2. If hz < 750, we
run at hz * 4. We compute a divider at runtime to make stathz run as close
to 128 as we can since stathz really wants to be run at something close to
that frequency. Profiling just runs on every clock tick. So some examples:
With hz = 100, the lapic timer now runs at 400 instead of 2000. stathz
will be 133, and profhz = 400. With hz = 1000 (default), the lapic timer
is still at 2000 (as it is now), stathz is at 133 (as it is now), and
profhz will be 2000 (previously 666).

arguments rather than global variables.
- Add a notion of minimum and maximum bus numbers and reject requests for

- Add more range checks on slot/func/reg/bytes parameters to the cfg reg
read/write routines. Don't panic on any invalid parameters, just fail
the request (writes do nothing, reads return -1). This matches the
behavior of the other cfg mechanisms.
- Port the memory mapped configuration space access to amd64. On amd64
we simply use the direct map (via pmap_mapdev()) for the memory mapped
window.
- During acpi_attach() just after loading the ACPI tables, check for a
MCFG table. If it exists, call pciereg_cfgopen() on each subtable
(memory mapped window). For now we only support windows for domain 0

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
