running time for a full fsck. It also reduces the random access time
for large files and speeds the traversal time for directory tree walks.
The key idea is to reserve a small area in each cylinder group
immediately following the inode blocks for the use of metadata,
specifically indirect blocks and directory contents. The new policy
is to preferentially place metadata in the metadata area and
everything else in the blocks that follow the metadata area.
The size of this area can be set when creating a filesystem using
newfs(8) or changed in an existing filesystem using tunefs(8).
Both utilities use the `-k held-for-metadata-blocks' option to
specify the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks in each
cylinder group. By default, newfs(8) sets this area to half of
minfree (typically 4% of the data area).

Dscp can be specified by name (AFXY, CSX, BE, EF), by value

This structure is not part of POSIX. According to POSIX, gettimeofday()

Also, POSIX states that gettimeofday() shall return 0 (as long as tzp is

nul-pointer instead of integer 0.
While there, change all pieces of code that only use tv_sec to use

First, don't exit when the link goes down on an interface. Instead,
teach dhclient to track changes in link state and to enter the reboot
state when the link on an interface goes up causing dhclient to attempt
to renew its existing lease.
Second, remove the change I added to clear the old lease when dhclient
exits due to an error (such as ifconfig down). If an interface is
using autoconfiguration it should keep its autoconfiguration as much as
possible. If the next time it needs a configuration it is able to reuse
the previous autoconfiguration, then leaving the settings intact allows
existing connections to survive temporary outages, etc.

Currently, 'ifconfig laggX down' does not remove members from this
lagg(4) interface. So, 'service netif stop laggX' followed by
'service netif start laggX' will choke, because "stop" will leave
interfaces attached to the laggX and ifconfig from the "start" will
refuse to add already-existing interfaces.
The real-world case is when I am bundling together my Ethernet and
WiFi interfaces and using multiple profiles for accessing network in
different places: system being booted up with one profile, but later
this profile being exchanged to another one, followed by 'service
netif restart' will not add WiFi interface back to the lagg: the
"stop" action from 'service netif restart' will shut down my main WiFi
interface, so wlan0 that exists in the lagg0 will be destroyed and
purged from lagg0; the "start" action will try to re-add both
interfaces, but since Ethernet one is already in lagg0, ifconfig will
refuse to add the wlan0 from WiFi interface.
Since adding the interface to the lagg(4) when it is already here
should be an idempotent action: we're really not changing anything,
so this fix doesn't change the semantics of interface addition.

To not break IPv6 (checksums and offload) and to be able to MFC the

Introduce interface capability flags for TX/RX checksum offload with
