Place the arguments at a fixed offset of 0x800 withing the argument area
(of size 0x1000). Allow variable size extended arguments first of which
should be a size of the extended arguments (including the size
parameter).
Consolidate all related definitions in a new i386/common/bootargs.h header.

controller to perform MDIO type accesses to a remote transceiver
using message pages defined through MRBE(multirate backplane
ethernet). It's used in blade systems(e.g Dell Blade m610) which
are connected to pass-through blades rather than traditional
switches.
This change directly manipulates firmware's mailboxes to control
remote PHY such that it does not use mii(4). Alternatively, as
David said, it could be implemented in brgphy(4) by creating a fake
PHY and let brgphy(4) do necessary mii accesses and bce(4) can
implement mailbox accesses based on the type of brgphy(4)'s mii
accesses. Personally, I think it would make brgphy(4) hard to
maintain since it would have to access many bce(4) registers in
brgphy(4). Given that there are users who are suffering from lack
of remote PHY support, it would be better to get working system
rather than waiting for complete/perfect implementation.

TX and RX PCU stop/drain routines have been thoroughly debugged.
It's also very likely that I should add hooks back up to the
interface glue (if_ath_pci / if_ath_ahb) to do any relevant
bus flushes that are required. A WMAC DDR flush may be required
for the AR9130 SoC.
some of the IPI mechanisms used by the common MIPS SMP code so we could use
the multicast IPI facilities, on GXemul as well as on several real hardware
platforms, and the ability to have multiple hard IPI types.
o change rcname to kfd;
o move mandatory options to command_args;
o add missing "shutdown" keyword;
o fix require line. Kfd doesn't really need to be started before
daemons.

- DTrace scripts to check for errors, performance, ...
they serve mostly as examples of what you can do with the static probe;s
with moderate load the scripts may be overwhelmed, excessive lock-tracing
may influence program behavior (see the last design decission)
Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).
