This catches up with the year-old change to default blocksizes. Also
reduce the variants of spelling gigabyte from 3 down to 2 (GB and GiB).

Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs. MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores. Now
we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
accordingly, and ignore disabled cores. This prevents us from executing
methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
exist. Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects. To
work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual
page change.

include <file>:
Parse the contents of file before continuing with the current file.
includedir <dir>:
Parse the contents of every file in dir that ends in .conf before continuing
with the current file.
Any file or directory encountered while processing include or includedir
directives will be parsed exactly once, even if it is encountered multiple
times.

the number of columns we specify in the head arguments.

Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.
Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.
Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.
Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.
So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.
Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.
- While here, document all sysctl variables in bpf.4

This makes our naming scheme more closely match other systems and the
expectations of much third-party software. MIPS builds which are little-endian
should require and exhibit no changes. Big-endian TARGET_ARCHes must be
changed:
From: To:
mipseb mips
mipsn32eb mipsn32
mips64eb mips64
An entry has been added to UPDATING and some foot-shooting protection (complete
with warnings which should become errors in the near future) to the top-level
base system Makefile.
- Make INITAFTERSUSPEND flag independent of HOOKRESUME flag.
- Automatically set INITAFTERSUSPEND flag when ALPS GlidePoint is detected.
- Always probe Synaptics Touchpad. Allow MOUSE_SYN_GETHWINFO ioctl and
automatically set INITAFTERSUSPEND flag when a supported device is detected,
regardless of "hw.psm.synaptics_support" tunable setting.
- Update psm(4) to reflect the above changes.
- Remove long-time defunct SYNCHACK flag while I am in the neighborhood.
