confusing the directory read cookie cache. The nfs_access implementation
for v2 mounts attempts to read from the directory if root is the user
so that root can't access cached files when the server remaps root
to some other user.

Update if_tireg.h to look for new firmware fix level.
* Make the network code in the bootstrap more chatty (helps debugging)
* Add nfs root stuff to cpu_rootconf(). I also added a check to make sure
it really was netbooting which allows the use of the same kernel for local
and network boots.
* Tweak the de driver so that it takes the speed setting from the console
for the alpha (some PWSs have broken de chipsets). This is the same
behaviour as NetBSD/alpha.

piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

if there's benefit to setting it to the exact amount, it appears the
card has 32K of ram, and 8K is used for outgoing packets, that would
be something like a queue limit of 5 packets. I don't think that's

- Try to unbreak what I broke by screwing with the tx queuing again.
I'm waiting for a few more people to test out this code and report back
before I move it into current. Hopefully it will be soon. Basically I
reverted to the old TX queuing strategy.
- Add experimental support for the 3c900B-FL (10mbps ST fiber). The card
should be detected properly and the 10baseFL mode supported, but again
I'm still waiting for word from a tester to see if this actually works.
It shouldn't affect the other cards though; all the differences are in
media selection.
- Set the TX start threshold register to get better performance.
- Increase the size of the RX and TX rings. UDP performance was pretty
bad because the TX ring was too small. Should be substantially better
now (I can saturate the link with either TCP or UDP now).
- Change some of the #defines to reflect proper 3Com ASIC names (boomerang,
cyclone, krakatoa, hurricane).
- Simplify and reorganize interrupt handler; ack all interrupts right
away and then process them. This avoids a potential race condition.
(Noted by Matt Dillon.)
- Reorganize the bridging code to eliminate using a goto to jump into
the middle of an if() {} clause. Sorry, that just made my brain itch.
- Use m_adj() in xl_rxeof().
- Make the payload alignment in xl_newbuf() the default (instead of
just conditionally defined for the alpha) to improve NFS performance
(avoids need for nfs_realign()).
This patch also moves the bogus comment (the comment is still not quite
right) and (as a side effect) removes some verbose initialisations (we
depend on static initialisation to 0 for almost everything in proc0).
The alpha kernels are bootable again. The change won't affect i386's
until machdep.c is changed.

In heavy-writing situations, QUEUE_LRU can contain a large number
of DELWRI buffers at its head. These buffers must be moved

from ever catching up to the transmit consumer index. We can't let this
happen because ti_txeof() depends on the assumption that producer == consumer
means the ring is empty, and producer != consumer means the ring has some
number of active descriptors in it.

Add new #ifdef. By defining BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET you can prevent the
MSP34xx being reset by the bt848 driver. This is handy
if you pre-initialise the MSP34xx stereo audio chip in another
operating system first (eg MS Windows).

The problem probably become more serious after my rev.1.18 a week ago.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector

accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
