livecd != disc1 case (i.e. ia64). The line was appended to the
non-existing cdrom.inf file, which was created only later. Move the
line to after the file is created.

This is supposed to fix some Coverity Prevent errors (Ariff didn't
looked at the CID's (ENOTIME), I just told him that there are some problems
in function dsp_ioctl()).

o Change MEM_READ_1/MEM_READ_4 into macros (move them to if_iwireg.h)
o Add support for association LED
o Silently discard f/w notifications that are unknown (fixes spurious
"unknown notification 15" in logs with latest firmware)
o Fix scanning of 5GHz channels
of physical RAM instead of the bottom was a sound idea, but the implementation
left a lot to be desired. Scans would spend considerable time looking at
pages that are above of the address range given by the caller, and multiple
calls (like what happens in busdma) would spend more time on top of that
rescanning the same pages over and over.
Solve this, at least for now, with two simple optimizations. The first is
to not bother scanning high ordered pages that are outside of the provided
address range. Second is to cache the page index from the last successful
operation so that subsequent scans don't have to restart from the top. This
is conditional on the numpages argument being the same or greater between
calls.

X-MFC after: some drivers have been converted
two reasons:
(1) juggle is now maintained in CVS, not P4, so the CVS revision number is
the authoritative one.
(2) Apparently $P4$ requires special handling and juggle was not marked
as needing it, resulting in problems for the P4 importer.

kern_prot.c. This API handles reference counting among many other things.
Notably, if MAC is compiled into the kernel, it will properly initialize the
MAC labels when the ucred is allocated.
This work is in preparation for a new MAC entry point which will be responsible
for properly initializing policy specific labels for the NFS server credential.
Utilization of the crfree/crget APIs reduce the complexity associated with
this label's management.

[1] I moved the ucred allocation outside the scope of the NFS server lock to
prevent M_WAIKOK allocations from occurring with non-sleep-able locks held.
Additionally, to reduce complexity, the ucred persist as long as the NFS
server descriptor.
implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

that randomly chose between read locks and write locks
that ran w/o panicing for over a day solid. It usually

testing. :) The kernel module source is available on

each turnstile. Also, allow for the owner thread pointer of a turnstile
to be NULL. This is needed for the upcoming reader/writer lock
implementation.
- Add a new ddb command 'show turnstile' that will look up the turnstile
associated with the given lock argument and display useful information
like the list of threads blocked on each queue, etc. If there isn't an
active turnstile for a lock at the specified address, then the function
will see if there is an active turnstile at the specified address and
display info about it if so.
- Adjust the mutex code to handle the turnstile API changes.
