- The kernel environment variable 'hw.physmem' can be used to set the
amount of physical memory space, based at 0, that FreeBSD will use.
Any memory detected over this limit is ignored. Documentation for
this is available under 'help set tunables' in the loader.
- In the case where system memory size can't be accurately determined,
hw.physmem is used as a best-guess memory size, but speculative
probing will be used to determine actual memory size if any of the
guesses or hints are 16M or more.
- If RB_VERBOSE, we list the memory regions as we test them.
- The compile-time option MAXMEM supplies a default value for
'hw.physmem'.
internal services in inetd.conf .
The inetd(8) manpage used to say that the official name of a service
_must_ be used, yet inetd itself was hardcoded to used a service alias for
the auth service, namely ident!
Rather than change inetd.conf and break existing configurations on next
upgrade, we now allow service aliases as well as official names. This
allows the software to work as expected and still support existing
configurations.
This should not breaking existing wrapped configurations either and the
inetd(8) manpage already states that it is the service name specified in
inetd.conf that is used for calls to hosts_access(3).

if they had a non-zero alignment constraint.
specified in the kernel config file - but setting options MAXMEM works
exactly the same. Userconfig overrides of this have not worked for
ages.
Also, change the getenv for the loader override to hw.physmem based on a
prior suggestion from Mike Smith. I think he still wants to change this
some, but this shouldn't get in his way. This is a forced setting of
the memory size, not a "cap". We probably should have a plain 'maxmem'
variable as well which does do a cap, without loosing the bios memory
configuration data.
compiles cleanly on the Alpha. (On the alpha, the port type is an int,
not a short).
Cast a couple of pointers to ints via 'uintptr_t' rather than 'unsigned
int' since uintptr_t is long (64 bit) on Alpha, as are pointers.
