Sync serial (T1/E1) interfaces are largely irrelevant today and phk
confirms this driver is unnecessary in review D23928.
This leaves ce(4) and cp(4) in the tree. They're likely not relevant
either, but glebius contacted the manufacturer and those devices are
still available for purchase. At glebius' suggestion leave them in
the tree as long as they do not impose a maintenace burden.

the hook at queue mode was that mn_rx_intr() doesn't run at splnet
level. In today's netgraph the only legitimate reason for queue mode
is recursion avoidance. So I see no reason for queue mode here.
Not tested!
socket-buffer implementations, introduce a return value for MCLGET()
(and m_cljget() that underlies it) to allow the caller to avoid testing
M_EXT itself. Update all callers to use the return value.
With this change, very few network device drivers remain aware of
M_EXT; the primary exceptions lie in mbuf-chain pretty printers for
debugging, and in a few cases, custom mbuf and cluster allocation
implementations.
NB: This is a difficult-to-test change as it touches many drivers for
which I don't have physical devices. Instead we've gone for intensive
review, but further post-commit review would definitely be appreciated
to spot errors where changes could not easily be made mechanically,
but were largely mechanical in nature.

command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set
the busmaster enable bit.
This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their
associated drives/enclosures disappearing during boot.
