device from being detected when an ATAPI CD-ROM is attached to the

2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.

4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
day one. Some significant scalability issues are resolved
by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
address instead of just the physical address. This makes
certain pmap operations run much faster. This does
not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
performance *significantly*. DG helped and came up with most
of the solution for this one.
6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
pmap_test_bit();
pmap_clear_bit();
That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal. The
pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
instead of a phys address. This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
operation.

Bit 15 is the flag to request a transmit complete interrupt. The
driver was apparently written to minimize interrupts, and if not for a
3-COM design quirk, everything would be just ducky.
Prior to loading the outbound packet into the FIFO, the driver checks
to see if there's enough space to contain the packet. If not, the
driver requests a transmit-available interrupt when there is
sufficient room. Unfortunately, the card is continuing to process the
prior FIFO, and by the time the driver sets the threshold for a
transmit available interrupt, the space is already available. When
this occurs, the 3COM card ignores the interrupt request, and the
driver is hung waiting for an interrupt that will never occur.
There's probably a more elegant solution, but requesting the transmit
complete interrupt was the easiest to implement. An alternative fix
might be to check free FIFO space again, after requesting the transmit
available interrupt, but I haven't bothered pursuing this. Since the
patch, my 3C590 (PCI, same FIFO interface as 3C509) has been rock

the high kernel calls into a protocol stack to perform requests on the
user's behalf. We replace the pr_usrreq() entry in struct protosw with a
pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions which implement
the various reuqests; each function is declared with the correct type and
number of arguments. (This is unlike the current scheme in which a quarter
of the requests take arguments of type other than (struct mbuf *) and the
difference is papered over with casts.) There are a few benefits to this
new scheme:
1) Arguments are passed with their correct types, and null-pointer dummies
are no longer necessary.
2) There should be slightly better caching effects from eliminating
the prximity to extraneous code and th switch in pr_usrreq().
3) It becomes much easier to change the types of the arguments to something
other than `struct mbuf *' (e.g.,pushing the work of sosend() into
the protocol as advocated by Van Jacobson).
There is one principal drawback: existing protocol stacks need to
be modified. This is alleviated by compatibility code in
uipc_socket2.c and uipc_domain.c which emulates the new interface
in terms of the old and vice versa.
This idea is not original to me. I read about what Jacobson did
