All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

Move PMAP_TS_REFERENCED_MAX out of the various pmap implementations and
into vm/pmap.h, and describe what its purpose is. Eliminate the archaic
"XXX" comment about its value. I don't believe that its exact value, e.g.,
5 versus 6, matters.
Update the arm64 and riscv pmap implementations of pmap_ts_referenced()
to opportunistically update the page's dirty field.
On amd64, use the PDE value already cached in a local variable rather than
dereferencing a pointer again and again.

Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

Machine privilege level was specially designed to use in vendor's
firmware or bootloader. We have implemented operation in machine
mode in FreeBSD as part of understanding RISC-V ISA, but it is time
to remove it.
We now use BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) -- standard RISC-V firmware,
which provides operation in machine mode for us.
We now use standard SBI calls to machine mode, instead of handmade
'syscalls'.
o Remove HTIF bus.
HTIF bus is now legacy and no longer exists in RISC-V specification.
HTIF code still exists in Spike simulator, but BBL do not provide
raw interface to it.
Memory disk is only choice for now to have multiuser booted in Spike,
until Spike has implemented more devices (e.g. Virtio, etc).

memory system.
RISC-V ISA has only single page table base register for both kernel
and user addresses translation. Before this commit we were using an
extra (4th) level of pagetables for switching between kernel and user
pagetables, but then realized FPGA hardware has 3-level page system
hardcoded. It is also become clear that the bitfile synthesized for
4-level system is untested/broken, so we can't use extra level for
switching.
We are now share level 1 of pagetables between kernel and user VA.
This requires to keep track of all the user pmaps created and once we
adding L1 page to kernel pmap we have to add it to all the user pmaps.
o Change the VM layout as we must have topmost bit to be 1 in the
selected page system for kernel addresses and 0 for user addresses.
o Implement pmap_kenter_device().
o Create the l3 tables for the early devmap.

Sounds strange, but both RocketCore and lowRISC do not operate
if we set it.
All the known implementations (Spike, QEMU, RocketCore, lowRISC) uses
default machine trap vector address and operates fine with this.
Original Berkeley Boot Loader (bbl) does not set this as well.

There is no need to clear all the DDR memory (we only need to clear
BSS section).
I was playing with non-default version of hardware (the bitfile
synthesized for 4-level page memory system) and clearing was helpful,
but then realized support for 4-level page system is untested/broken
in both RocketCore and lowRISC.
Summary:
As part of the migration of rman_res_t to be typed to uintmax_t, memory ranges
must be clamped appropriately for the bus, to prevent completely bogus addresses
from being used.
