Note: On platforms lacking a direct virtual-to-physical mapping,

objects rather than synchronization objects. When a sync object is
signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then
it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state. When a
notification object is signaled, all threads waiting on it will
be woken up, and it remains in the signaled state until someone
resets it manually. We want the latter behavior for NDIS events.
- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary
copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST(). When the PCI
bus code probes resources for a given device, it enters them into
a singly linked list, head first. The result is that traversing
this list gives you the resources in reverse order. This means when
we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too.
Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O
ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one
for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers
test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others
just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from
lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers
will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range.
Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to
make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build
the Windows resource list from that. I suppose we could just fix
the PCI bus code to use a TAILQ instead, but then I'd have to track
down all the consumers of the BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST() and fix them
too.
Compute the payload checksum for a locally originated IP multicast where
God intended, in ip_mloopback(), rather than doing it in ip_output() and

fact it does not (when multicast router is inactive). This is also more
efficient if we don't join the multicast group we send to, thus allowing
the hardware to checksum the payload.

To deal with this, we now create all our kthreads with 8 stack pages.
Also, we now run all timer callouts in the ndis swi thread (since
they would otherwise run in the clock ithread, whose stack is too
small). It happens that the alloca() in this case was occuring within

should be using td->td_kstack_pages instead. This means that although
the vm subsystem would give you all the stack pages you asked for,
%esp would always be initialized as if you had just 2 pages, and
the rest would go to waste.
I wanted to use the 'give me more stack pages' feature of kthread_create()
because the Intel 2200BG NDIS driver does an alloca() of about 5000 bytes,
which wrecks the stack with the default 2 page size, and I was baffled
that no matter how much code I shoved into thread contexts with
allegedly larger stacks, the thing would still crash unless I changed
KSTACK_PAGES.

- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.
- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.
NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:

I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat

enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.

level of abstraction for any and all CPU mask and CPU bitmap variables
so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.
With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)

to select a serial console and debug port (resp). On ia64 these replace
the use of hints completely and take precedence over hints on alpha,
amd64 and i386. On sparc64 these variables are not yet recognised.
The reasons for introducing these variables are:
1. Hints have side-effects. They reserve the unit number for use by
isa or acpi devices and therefore cannot be used to select a pci
device. Also, the use of a unit number to select a device prior
to bus enumeration is nonsense. The new variables have no side-
effects and are not based on unit numbers.
2. Hints don't have the expression power to allow the sysadmin to
select UARTs that are not legacy PC devices and need the support
of compile-time constants to give the sysadmin some level of
flexibility.
The hw.uart.console and hw.uart.dbgport variables specify a list of
attributes. An attribute is a tag-value pair, seperated by a colon.
Attributes are seperated by a comma. Where possible, tags are the
