pages existed only for the dynamic sysctl interfaces. There's probably
more complete and accurate content, better advice, etc, that could be added
here.
Per scottl's suggest, add a small piece of moralizing text regarding the
fact that sysctl names quickly get embedded in system configuration files,
libraries, third party applications, and even books, so renaming and
removing names after they've been published is a tricky issue.

OpenBSD changes. With these changes, PHY part of the driver becomes
functional (it senses media changes and negotiates speed just fine),
previously it just hang with no PHY message, but no data goes through
interface (error message is "can not stop transfer of Tx/Rx descriptor).
Hopefully somebody with more clue/free time will be able to pick up

lock giant with non smpsafe filesystems but is the only way to reliably
hold the correct lock.
- Remove an invalid assert in the mountedhere case in lookup and fix the
code to properly deal with the scenario. We can actually have a lookup
that returns dp == dvp with mountedhere set with certain unmount races.

entry (PTE) have the same meaning. The exception to this rule is the
eighth bit (0x080). It is the PS bit in a PDE and the PAT bit in a
PTE. This change avoids the possibility that pmap_enter() confuses a
PAT bit with a PS bit, avoiding a panic().
Eliminate a diagnostic printf() from the i386 pmap_enter() that serves
no current purpose, i.e., I've seen no bug reports in the last two
years that are helped by this printf().

- MPSAFE. No more recursive lock required.
- bus_dma(9) conversion. I think it should work on all architectures.
- optimized Rx handler for each normal and jumbo frames. Previously
sk(4) used jumbo frame management code to handle normal sized
frames. As the handler needs an additional lock to protect jumbo
frame management structure from races, it used two lock operations
for each received packet. Now sk(4) uses single lock operation for
normal frame.(Jumbo frame still needs two lock operations as before.)
The hardware supports DMA scatter operations for Rx descriptors such
that it's possible to take advantagee of m_cljget(9) for jumbo frames.
However, due to a unknown reasons it resulted in poor performance on
sparc64. So I dropped m_cljget(9) approach. This should be revisited
since it would reduce one lock operation for jumbo frame handling.
- Tx TCP/Rx IP checksum offload support. According to the data sheet
of SK-NET GENESIS the hardware supports Rx IP/TCP/UDP offload.
But I couldn't make it work on my Yukon hardware. So Rx TCP/UDP was
disabled at the moment. It seems that newer Yukon chips can support
Tx UDP checksum offload too. But I need more documentation first.
- Added more wait time in reading VPD data. It seems that ASUS LOM
takes a very long time to respond VPD read signal.
- Added an additional lock for MII register access callbacks.
- Added more strict received packet validation routine. Previously it
passed corrupted packets to upper layers under certain conditions.
- A new function sk_yukon_tick() to handle auto-negotiation properly.
- Interrupt handler now checks shared interrupt source and protects
the interrupt handler from NULL pointer dereference which was caused
by odd status word value. The status word can returns 0xffffffff if
cable is unplugged while Rx/Tx/auto-negotiation is in progress.
- suspend/resume support(not tested).
- Added Rx/Tx FIFO flush routine for Yukon
- Activate Tx descriptor poll timer in order to protect possible loss
of SK_TXBMU_TX_START command. Previously the driver continuously issued
SK_TXBMU_TX_START when it notices pending Tx descriptors not processed
yet in interrupt handler. That approach would add additional PCI
write access overhead under high Tx load situations and it might fail
if the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START was lost and no interrupt is generated
from the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START command.
- s/printf/if_printf/, s/printf/device_printf/, Axe sk_unit in softc.
- Setting multicast/station address is now safe on strict-alignment
architectures.
- Fix long standing bug in VLAN header length setup.
- Added/corrected register definitions for Yukon.
(Register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Added Rx status definition for Marvell Yukon/XaQti XMAC.
(Rx status register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Update if_oerrors if we encounter watchdog error.
- callout(9) conversion
Special thanks to jkim who let me know RX status differences between
Yukon and XaQti XMAC.
It seems that there is still occasional watchdog timeout error but I
couldn't reproduce it and need more information to analyze it from
users.

Also, disable interrupts unconditionally in cpu_reset_real(), since we don't

per page = effectively 12.19 bytes per pv entry after overheads).
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 24 byte pv entries (two 8-byte tailq
nodes, a 4 byte pointer, and a 4 byte address), we allocate a page at a
time per process. This provides 336 pv entries per process (actually, per
pmap address space) and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since
we now can track per-process pv entries implicitly. The pointer to
the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to find the metadata
on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by all 336 entries.
There is an 11-int bitmap for the freelist of those 336 entries.
This is mostly a mechanical conversion from amd64, except:
* i386 has to allocate kvm and map the pages, amd64 has them outside of kvm
* native word size is smaller, so bitmaps etc become 32 bit instead of 64
* no dump_add_page() etc stuff because they are in kvm always.
* various pmap internals tweaks because pmap uses direct map on amd64 but
on i386 it has to use sched_pin and temporary mappings.
Also, sysctl vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shpgperproc are now
dynamic sysctls. Like on amd64, i386 can now tune the pv entry limits
without a recompile or reboot.
This is important because of the following scenario. If you have a 1GB
file (262144 pages) mmap()ed into 50 processes, that requires 13 million
pv entries. At 24 bytes per pv entry, that is 314MB of ram and kvm, while
at 12 bytes it is 157MB. A 157MB saving is significant.
