set MNT_UPDATE in fsflags, and delete the
"update" option from the global mount options.
MNT_UPDATE is a command, and not a property of a mount
that should persist after the command is executed.
We need to do similar things for MNT_FORCE and MNT_RELOAD.
All mount flags are prefixed by MNT_..... it would
be nice if flags which were commands were named differently
from flags which are persistent properties of a mount.
This was not such a big deal in the pre-nmount() days,
but with nmount() it is more important.

Give a better example if a user absolutely must use this option, and
suggest they pick something from the ephemeral port range rather than
port 53. This means that the example will not work if it is merely
uncommented, but this will hopefully encourage users to read the comment.
the patch from ISC for lib/bind9/check.c and deletion of unused
files in lib/bind.
This version will by default randomize the UDP query source port
(and sequence number of course) for every query.
In order to take advantage of this randomization users MUST have an
appropriate firewall configuration to allow UDP queries to be sent and
answers to be received on random ports; and users MUST NOT specify a
port number using the query-source[-v6] options.
The avoid-v[46]-udp-ports options exist for users who wish to eliminate
certain port numbers from being chosen by named for this purpose. See
the ARM Chatper 6 for more information.
Also please note, this issue applies only to UDP query ports. A random
ephemeral port is always chosen for TCP queries.
This issue applies primarily to name servers whose main purpose is to
resolve random queries (sometimes referred to as "caching" servers, or
more properly as "resolving" servers), although even an "authoritative"
name server will make some queries, primarily at startup time.
All users of BIND are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest
version, and to utilize the source port randomization feature.

1. The FreeBSD driver was setting an interrupt coalesce delay of 1000us
for reasons that I can only speculate on. This was hurting everything
from lame sequential I/O "benchmarks" to legitimate filesystem metadata
operations that relied on serialized barrier writes. One of my
filesystem tests went from 35s to complete down to 6s.
2. Implemented the Performant transport method. Without the fix in
(1), I saw almost no difference. With it, my filesystem tests showed
another 5-10% improvement in speed. It was hard to measure CPU
utilization in any meaningful way, so it's not clear if there was a
benefit there, though there should have been since the interrupt handler
was reduced from 2 or more PCI reads down to 1.
3. Implemented MSI-X. Without any docs on this, I was just taking a
guess, and it appears to only work with the Performant method. This
could be a programming or understanding mistake on my part. While this
by itself made almost no difference to performance since the Performant
method already eliminated most of the synchronous reads over the PCI
bus, it did allow the CISS hardware to stop sharing its interrupt with
the USB hardware, which in turn allowed the driver to become decoupled
from the Giant-locked USB driver stack. This increased performance by
almost 20%. The MSI-X setup was done with 4 vectors allocated, but only
1 vector used since the performant method was told to only use 1 of 4
queues. Fiddling with this might make it work with the simpleq method,
not sure. I did not implement MSI since I have no MSI-specific hardware
in my test lab.
4. Improved the locking in the driver, trimmed some data structures.
This didn't improve test times in any measurable way, but it does look
like it gave a minor improvement to CPU usage when many
processes/threads were doing I/O in parallel. Again, this was hard to
accurately test.

While i'm here change u_int to uint and update TODO.
This should produce no visible changes unless the device is
broken (or really old).

for the bio for swapout write. It allows the page allocator to drain
free page list deeper. As result, a deadlock where pageout deamon sleeps
waiting for bio to be allocated for swapout is no more reproducable in
practice.
Alan said that M_USE_RESERVE shall be ressurrected and used there, but
until this is implemented, M_NOWAIT does exactly what is needed.
