than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

a sysctl tree under debug containing the maximum depth of any bucket in
the hash table as well as a separate node for each bucket (or chain)
containing the current depth and maximum depth for that bucket.

This does not change the queueing yet. These changes will follow in a
seperate commit. Same with the driver changes, which need case by case
evaluation.
__FreeBSD_version bump will follow.

conform to the rfc2734 and rfc3146 standard for IP over firewire and
should eventually supercede the fwe driver. Right now the broadcast
channel number is hardwired and we don't support MCAP for multicast
channel allocation - more infrastructure is required in the firewire
code itself to fix these problems.
- Connect geom_stripe and geom_nop modules to the build.
- Connect STRIPE and NOP classes to the LINT build.
- Disconnect gconcat(8) from the build.

returns okay when HW probe fails. This happens when comconsole flag is
set but VGA console is used instead.
Back out requested by: bde (He will be looking at other solutions from scratch)
- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to
be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which
the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with
broken console since it is at the wrong speed.
- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.
This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.

stuff was here (NFS) was fixed by Alfred in November. The only remaining
consumer of the stub functions was umapfs, which is horribly horribly
broken. It has missed out on about the last 5 years worth of maintenence
that was done on nullfs (from which umapfs is derived). It needs major
work to bring it up to date with the vnode locking protocol. umapfs really
needs to find a caretaker to bring it into the 21st century.

This adds the former ports registered groups: proxy and authpf as well as
the proxy user. Make sure to run mergemaster -p in oder to complete make
installworld without errors.
This also provides the passive OS fingerprints from OpenBSD (pf.os) and an
example pf.conf.
For those who want to go without pf; it provides a NO_PF knob to make.conf.
__FreeBSD_version will be bumped soon to reflect this and to be able to
change ports accordingly.

Make watchdogd(8) perform as watchdog(8) as well, and make it
possible to specify a check command to run, timeout and sleep
periods.
Update watchdog(4) to talk about the generic interface and add

This amongst other things means that traceback lines change from:
