This driver supports the low and high precision models (9 and 11 bits) and
it will auto-detect the both variants.
The driver expose the temperature registers (actual temperature, shutdown
and hysteresys temperature) and also the configuration register.
It was tested on FDT systems: RPi, BBB and on non-FDT systems: AR71xx, with
both, hardware i2c controllers (when available) and gpioiic(4).
This provides a simple and cheap way for verifying the i2c bus on embedded
systems.
cards. LSI has been maintaining this driver outside of the FreeBSD
tree. It overlaps support of ThunderBolt and Invader cards that mfi(4)
supports. By default mfi(4) will attach to cards. If the tunable:
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1
is set then mfi(4) will not probe and attach to these newer cards and
allow mrsas(4) to attach. So by default this driver will not effect
a FreeBSD system unless mfi(4) is removed from the kernel or the
tunable is enabled.
mrsas(4) attaches disks to the CAM layer so it depends on CAM and devices
show up as /dev/daX. mfiutil(8) does not work with mrsas. The FreeBSD
version of MegaCli and StorCli from LSI do work with mrsas. It appears
that StorCli only works with mrsas. MegaCli appears to work with mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
It would be good to add mfiutil(4) support to mrsas, emulations modes,
kernel logging, device aliases to ease the transition between mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
Style issues should be resolved by LSI when they get committers approved.
The plan is get this driver in FreeBSD 9.3 to improve HW support.
Thanks to LSI for developing, testing and working with FreeBSD to
make this driver co-exist in FreeBSD. This improves the overall
support of MegaRAID SAS.

lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
FreeBSD. /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful

Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version. This will be documented

It exposes I/O resources to user space, so that programs can peek

NetFPGA-10G Embedded CPU Ethernet Core.
The current version operates on a simple PIO based interface connected
to a NetFPGA-10G port.
To avoid confusion: this driver operates on a CPU running on the FPGA,
e.g. BERI/mips, and is not suited for the PCI host interface.

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

There is no reason to keep the two knobs separate: if tests are
enabled, the ATF libraries are required; and if tests are disabled,
the ATF libraries are not necessary. Keeping the two just serves
to complicate the build.

algorithm, which is based on the 2011 v0.1 patch release and described in the
paper "Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients" by David Hayes
and Grenville Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the
modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally
deployable and suitable for use on shared networks.

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.
