Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.
It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.
The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be

an artificial keysize limitation, has 30% fewer calories and tastes great!

= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback

. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr

. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

The boot-conf command was changed as to reproduce the behavior of builtin
loader words precisely. As a result, it now always need an argument, possibly
0 indicating that no other arguments are being passed. This broke in a
non-deterministic way (ie, it could go on working as if everything was fine).

related patches. These include:
* Mode page editting can be scripted. This involves two
things: first, if stdin is not a tty, changes are read from
stdin rather than invoking $EDITOR. Second, and more
importantly, not all modepage entries must be included in the
change set. This means that camcontrol can now gracefully handle
more intrusive editting from the $EDITOR, including removal or
rearrangement of lines. It also means that you can do stuff
like:
# echo "WCE: 1" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
# newfs /dev/da3
# echo "WCE: 0" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
* Range-checking on user-supplied input values. modeedit.c now
uses the field width specifiers to determine the maximum
allowable value for a field. If the user enters a value larger
than the maximum, it clips the value to the max and warns the
user. This also involved patching cam_cmdparse.c to be more
consistent with regards to the "count" parameter to arg_put
(previously is was the length of strings and 1 for all integral
types). The cam_cdbparse(3) man page was also updated to reflect
the revised semantics.
* In the process, I removed the 64 entry limit on mode pages (not
that we were even close to hitting that limit). This was a nice
side-effect of the other changes.
* Technically, the new mode editting functionality allows editting
of character array entries in mode pages (type 'c' or 'z'),
however since buff_encode doesn't grok them it is currently
useless.
* Camcontrol gained two new options related to mode pages: -l and
-b. The former lists all available mode pages for a given
device. The latter forces mode page display in binary format
(the default when no mode page definition was found in
scsi_modes).
* Added support for mode page names to scsi_modes. Allows names to
be displayed alongside mode numbers in the mode page
listing. Updated scsi_modes to use the new functionality. This
also adds the semicolon into the scsi_modes syntax as an
optional mode page definition terminator. This is needed to name
pages without providing a page format definition.
* Updated scsi_all.h to include a structure describing mode page
headers.
* Added $FreeBSD$ line to scsi_modes.
