machdep.guessed_bootdev, and add code to sysctl to parse its value
and give a (not necessarily correct) name to the device we booted
from (the main motivation for this code is to use the info in the
PicoBSD boot scripts, and the impact on the kernel is minimal).
NOTE: the information available in bootdev is not always reliable,
so you should not trust it too much. The parsing code is the same
as in boot2.c, and cannot cover all cases -- as it is, it seems to
work fine with floppies and IDE disks recognised by the BIOS. It
_should_ work as well with SCSI disks recognised by the BIOS.
Booting from a CDROM in floppy emulation will return /dev/fd0 (because
this is what the BIOS tells us).
Booting off the network (e.g. with etherboot) leaves bootdev unset so
the value will be printed as "invalid (0xffffffff)".
Finally, this feature might go away at some point, hopefully when we
have a more reliable way to get the same information.

-#if defined(__FreeBSD__) && __FreeBSD_version__ >= 500023
+#if defined(__FreeBSD__) && __FreeBSD_version >= 500023
is a genuine bug -- __FreeBSD_version__ does not exist.
The other one:
-#if (__FreeBSD__ < 5)
+#if (__FreeBSD_version < 500000)
pops out when you cross-compile the code:
__FreeBSD__ is a compiler predefine,
__FreeBSD_version is defined in <sys/param.h> .
Given that in this case (and all others in sys/dev/usb and sys/i4b)
the goal is to adapt to a different kernel interface, and not to
a compiler feature, I believe the correct form is the second one
(in the best case the two are synonyms so the change does not break
anything anyways).

o Add magic to <netinet/in.h> and <netinet6/in6.h> to prevent
redefining INET_ADDRSTRLEN and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN.
o Add a note about missing typedefs in <arpa/inet.h>.
the number of physical pages per KVA page allocated scales properly with
memory size. This fixes problems with kmem_map being too small.

Revert the logic in pipeclose so that we don't have the entire function
pretty much under a single if() statement, instead invert the test and
just return if it fails.

Don't use pool mutexes for pipes. We can not use pool mutexes
because we will need to grab the select lock while holding a pipe
lock which is not allowed because you may not aquire additional
mutexes when holding a pool mutex.
Instead malloc(9) space for the mutex that is shared between the
pipes.

o Move a comment up in <machine/endian.h> that was accidentially moved

o Reenable userland's use of optimized inline-asm versions of
byteorder(3) functions.
o Fix ordering of prototypes vs. redefinition of byteorder(3)
functions, so that the non-GCC (libc asm) case has proper
prototypes.
o Add proper prototypes for byteorder(3) functions in <sys/param.h>.
o Prevent redundant duplicate prototypes by making use of the
_BYTEORDER_PROTOTYPED define.
o Move the bswap16(), bswap32(), bswap64() C functions into MD space
for platforms in which asm versions don't exist. This significantly
reduces the complexity of some things at the cost of duplicate code.

Now if some of the -doc guys want to put this stuff in a nice
handbook page, that would be extremely useful!
