copper NICs, a link change event is posted whenever MII autopolling is
toggled off and on, which happens whenever someone calls
bge_miibus_readreg() or bge_miibus_writereg() to access the PHY
registers. This means anytime someone called the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl
on a bge interface, the link would reset. Even a simple "ifconfig bge0"
would do it, though other apps like dhclient or the PPPoE daemon could
trigger it as well. An obvious symptom of this problem is lots of
"bgeX: gigabit link up" messages appearing on the console for no
apparent reason.
Through experimentation, I determined that when a real link change
event occurs, the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL in the BGE_MI_MODE register
is always set, so now if we have a copper NIC and an link change
event occurs and the BGE_MIMODE_AUTOPOLL bit is clear, we ignore
the event.
Note that this does not apply to the original BCM5700 chip since we
use a different method for sensing link changes with that chip (the
status block method was broken), nor to fiber optic NICs since they
don't use the GMII PHY access registers.
1. The correct cutoff for large uid/gid handling is 1<<18, not 1<<20.
2. Limit the uid/gid in the 'x' extension header (where numeric extensions
are not permitted) to 1<<18, but use the correct value in the regular
header (where numeric extensions are permitted).

another way to misinterpret the spec. Also, always fall back to the hints
probe on any attach failure, not just when _FDE fails.
Thanks to imp and scottl for finding this.

functions that can be called from enable/disable pf as well. This improves
switching from non-altq ruleset to altq ruleset (and the other way 'round)
by a great deal and makes pfctl act like the user would except it to.

After this change it should be possible to use very big md(4) devices.
- Clean up and simplify the code a bit.
- Use humanize_number(3) to print size of md(4) devices.
- Add 't' suffix which stands for terabyte.
- Make '-S' to really work with all types of devices.
- Other minor changes.
it is only used in one function. While doing so, change its type to
vm_ooffset_t.
We are still limited for swap-backed devices to 16TB on 32-bit architectures
where PAGE_SIZE is 4096 bytes.
family to the ip_protox[] array. The protocol number of IPPROTO_DIVERT is
larger than IPPROTO_MAX and was initializing memory beyond the array.
Catch all these kinds of errors by ignoring protocols that are higher than
IPPROTO_MAX or 0 (zero).
Add more comments ip_init().
This make "_NEC" devices appear as "NEC" which is more corrent.
The reason is tha NEC originally screwed up on the byteorder in the
model string, so now that they have realized that they prefixed the '_'
so that not every ATA driver on the planet would call them "EN C" :)
reserving it at use time is more miserly, low memory (< 16MB)
evaporates quickly on many systems, so there may not be any suitable
buffers available. This specifically doesn't use the newer, fancier
isa_dma_init to ease merging to 5.

running. There is no way to recover from this, but at least it can give
a hint as whether the car has crashed (which happens all too often).

errors for the attachment process for the floppy controller. This is
a band-aide because it doesn't try any of the fallback methods when
_FDE isn't long enough, but should be sufficient for people
experiencing the dreaded mutex not initialized panic.
