/boot/device.hints in the bin dist during releases so that current snapshots
have a chance of booting up ok after installing. The real fix for this
problem is to rewrite userconfig in Forth, stick it in the loader, axe
userconfig from the kernel, and extract the hints from the booted kernel in
sysinstall similar to the way we generate /boot/kernel.conf right now. For
now, however, this will have to do.
suggested fix in PR 12378.
Keep track of all existing pmaps independent of existing processes.
This allows for a process to temporarily connect to a different address
space without the risk of missing an update of the original address space if
the kernel grows.
pmap_pinit2() is no longer needed on the i386 platform but is left as a
stub until the alpha pmap code is updated.

Serious fix still needed, see discussion on -current
(Subject: /bin/sh dumps core with here-document of 8bit text)
Problem in this code originally spotted by
Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@FreeBSD.org>
growstackblock() sometimes relocates a stack_block considered empty
without properly relocating stack marks referencing that block.
The first call to popstackmark() with the unrelocated stack mark
as argument then causes sh to abort.
Relocating the relevant stack marks seems to solve this problem.
The patch changes the semantics of popstackmark() somewhat. It can
only be called once after a call to setstackmark(), thus cmdloop() in
main.c needs an extra call to setstackmark().

of the two when calculating the MP throughput average for the ``set
autoload'' implementation.
This makes more sense as all links I know of are full-duplex. This
also means that people may need to adjust their autoload settings
as 100% bandwidth is now the theoretical maximum rather than 200%
(but of course, halfing the current settings is probably not the
correct answer either!).
This involves a ppp version bump as we need to pass an extra
throughput array through the MP local domain socket.
