.. so that consistent compilation algorithms are used for both

The only difference is using smaller but slower "leave" instructions.

output and replace it with a new visible sysctl kern.ipc.acceptqueue
of the same functionality. It specifies the maximum length of the
accept queue on a listen socket.
The old kern.ipc.somaxconn remains available for reading and writing
for compatibility reasons so that existing programs, scripts and
configurations continue to work. There no plans to ever remove the
orginal and now hidden kern.ipc.somaxconn.
The reason for this is that the SPARC v9 architecture allows nested
interrupts of higher priority/level than that of the current interrupt
to occur (and we can't just entirely bypass this model, also, at least
for tick interrupts, this also wouldn't be wise). However, when a
preemption interrupt interrupts another interrupt of lower priority,
f.e. PIL_ITHREAD, and that one in turn is nested by a third interrupt,
f.e. PIL_TICK, with SCHED_ULE the execution of interrupts higher than
PIL_PREEMPT may be migrated to another CPU. In particular, tl1_ret(),
which is responsible for restoring the state of the CPU prior to entry
to the interrupt based on the (also migrated) trap frame, then is run
on a CPU which actually didn't receive the interrupt in question,
causing an inappropriate processor interrupt level to be "restored".
In turn, this causes interrupts of the first level, i.e. PIL_ITHREAD
in the above scenario, to be blocked on the target of the migration
until the correct PIL happens to be restored again on that CPU again.
Making PIL_PREEMPT the lowest real priority, this effectively prevents
this scenario from happening, as preemption interrupts no longer can
interrupt any other interrupt besides stray ones (which is no issue).
Thanks to attilio@ and especially mav@ for helping me to understand
this problem at the 201208DevSummit.
- Give PIL_STOP (which is also used for IPI_STOP_HARD, given that there's
no real equivalent to NMIs on SPARC v9) the highest possible priority
just below the hardwired PIL_TICK, so it has a chance to interrupt
more things.

... otherwise the current thread might be holding ARC locks and thus run
into a deadlock. This happens, for example, when a thread does memory
allocation in the ARC code and runs into KVA shortage.
Also, it really makes the most sense to wait in pageproc, so that the
results of ARC reclamation are seen before the page cache is acted upon.
In other cases where vm_lowmem is invoked, e.g. on KVA space shortage,
the callers perform multiple attempts (up to 8) and wait for rather
long intervals between them (up to 4 seconds), so ARC reclaim results
should become visible even without explicit waiting on the ARC thread.
Note that this is not a critical issue for typical ZFS usages where KVA
space should already be large enough. On amd64 systems setting KVA size
to twice the physical memory size is known to mitigate KVA fragmentation
issues in practice.
Side note: perhaps vm_lowmem 'how' parameter should be used to
differentiate between causes of the event.

parent adapter's _DOD list, only check the low 16 bits of both _ADR and
_DOD. The language in the ACPI spec seems to indicate that the _ADR values
should exactly match the entries in _DOD. However, I assume that the
masking added to _DOD values was added to work around some known busted
machines (the commit history doesn't indicate either way), and the ACPI
spec does require that the low 16 bits are unique for all video outputs,
so only check the low 16 bits should be fine.
This fixes recognition of video outputs that use the new standardized
device ID scheme in ACPI 3.0 that set bit 31 such as certain Dell laptops.

that revises the netmap memory allocator so that the
various parameters (number and size of buffers, rings, descriptors)
can be modified at runtime through sysctl variables.
The changes become effective when no netmap clients are active.
The API is mostly unchanged, although the NIOCUNREGIF ioctl now
does not bring the interface back to normal mode: and you
need to close the file descriptor for that.
This change was necessary to track who is using the mapped region,
and since it is a simplification of the API there was no
incentive in trying to preserve NIOCUNREGIF.
We will remove the ioctl from the kernel next time we need
a real API change (and version bump).
Among other things, buffer allocation when opening devices is
now much faster: it used to take O(N^2) time, now it is linear.

to be set, i.e. pcf8563_settime(), and not just PCF8563_R_SECOND in order
for PCF8563_R_SECOND_VL to stick. Thus, we just issue a warning during
pcf8563_attach() rather than failing with ENXIO in case it is set.
