o Introduce a notion of "not ready" mbufs in socket buffers. These
mbufs are now being populated by some I/O in background and are
referenced outside. This forces following implications:
- An mbuf which is "not ready" can't be taken out of the buffer.
- An mbuf that is behind a "not ready" in the queue neither.
- If sockbet buffer is flushed, then "not ready" mbufs shouln't be
freed.
o In struct sockbuf the sb_cc field is split into sb_ccc and sb_acc.
The sb_ccc stands for ""claimed character count", or "committed
character count". And the sb_acc is "available character count".
Consumers of socket buffer API shouldn't already access them directly,
but use sbused() and sbavail() respectively.
o Not ready mbufs are marked with M_NOTREADY, and ready but blocked ones
with M_BLOCKED.
o New field sb_fnrdy points to the first not ready mbuf, to avoid linear
search.
o New function sbready() is provided to activate certain amount of mbufs
in a socket buffer.
A special note on SCTP:
SCTP has its own sockbufs. Unfortunately, FreeBSD stack doesn't yet
allow protocol specific sockbufs. Thus, SCTP does some hacks to make
itself compatible with FreeBSD: it manages sockbufs on its own, but keeps
sb_cc updated to inform the stack of amount of data in them. The new
notion of "not ready" data isn't supported by SCTP. Instead, only a
mechanical substitute is done: s/sb_cc/sb_ccc/.
A proper solution would be to take away struct sockbuf from struct
socket and allow protocols to implement their own socket buffers, like
SCTP already does. This was discussed with rrs@.

Document this. Do not require channel number in server mode. If not
specified - bind to ''wildcard'' channel zero. Real channel number will
be obtained automatically and registered with local sdpd(8). While I'm
here fix serial port service registration.

service name instead of channel number with -c command option. Supported
service names are: DUN (Dial-Up Networking), FAX (Fax) and SP (Serial Port).

Document this. These changes make it possible to write something like
set device "!/usr/bin/rfcomm_sppd -a BD_ADDR"
inside the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. Very convenient for the users :)

Has been seen to work on several cards and communicating with
several mobile phones to use them as modems etc.
We are still talking with 3com to try get them to allow us to include
the firmware for their pccard in the driver but the driver is here..
In the mean time
it can be downloaded from the 3com website and loaded using the utility
bt3cfw(8) (supplied) (instructions in the man page)
Not yet linked to the build
