accordingly.
For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)
FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).
devices dynamically. That means,
+ only one /dev/iic or /dev/smb device for each smb/iic bus to access
+ I2C/SMB device address must be given to any ioctl
+ new devices may be plugged and accessed after boot, which was
impossible previously (device addresses were hardcoded into
the kernel)

RB_CONFIG.
Now, the code should do the right thing in the following cases, when
kernel is compiled with INTRO_USERCONFIG:
* when booted without userconfig_script and without RB_CONFIG, present
intro screen, and wait for user input.
* when booted with userconfig_script and without RB_CONFIG, DON'T present
intro screen unless explicitly asked in userconfig_script, basing on
assumption that if a user loads userconfig_script, (s)he already
decided what parameters to configure. Proceed with booting.
* when booted without userconfig_script, and with RB_CONFIG, enter
configuration utility and wait for user input.
* when booted with userconfig_script, and with RB_CONFIG, execute all
commands from userconfig_script, and DON'T leave the config utility,
but wait for user input.
And finally, regardless of the combination of the above parameters,
when intro screen is invoked either first or next times, and user
chooses to go back to CLI interface, unblock the quit command.
On a system with a large amount of ram (e.g. 2G), allocation of per-page
data structures (512K physical pages) could easily bust the initial kernel
page table (36M), and growth of kernel page table requires kptobj.

Staticize ??cngetc(), ??cnputc(), etc functions in sc and vt drivers.

downward growing stacks more general.
Add (but don't activate) code to use the new stack facility
when running threads, (specifically the linux threads support).
This allows people to use both linux compiled linuxthreads, and also the
native FreeBSD linux-threads port.
The code is conditional on VM_STACK. Not using this will
