This fixes the following bug:

>/dev/tun101
ifconfig tun100 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8
ifconfig tun101 1.2.3.4 6.7.8.9
route change 6.7.8.9 -ifa 1.2.3.4 -iface -mtu 500
which erroneously changed tun101's host route to have an ifp of tun100
(rt_getifa() sets the ifp after calling ifa_ifwithnet(1.2.3.4))

select/poll, and therefore with pthreads. I doubt there is any way
to make this 100% semantically identical to the way it behaves in
unthreaded programs with blocking reads, but the solution here
should do the right thing for all reasonable usage patterns.
The basic idea is to schedule a callout for the read timeout when a
select/poll is done. When the callout fires, it ends the select if
it is still in progress, or marks the state as "timed out" if the
select has already ended for some other reason. Additional logic in
bpfread then does the right thing in the case where the timeout has
fired.
Note, I co-opted the bd_state member of the bpf_d structure. It has
been present in the structure since the initial import of 4.4-lite,
but as far as I can tell it has never been used.

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

vnodes. This will hopefully serve as a base from which we can
expand the MP code. We currently do not attempt to obtain any
mutex or SX locks, but the door is open to add them when we nail
down exactly how that part of it is going to work.
"[...] and removes the hostcache code from standard kernels---the
code that depends on it is not going to happen any time soon,
I'm afraid."
Time to clean up.
Have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes ``rt_addrinfo *''
as the argument. Pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest1
and ifa->ifa_rtrequest. 3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now
``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of ``sockaddr *'' (almost noone is
using it anyways).
Benefit: the following command now works. Previously we needed
two route(8) invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
Remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from ``rtentry *'' to
``sockaddr *''. It was introduced by 4.3BSD-Reno and never
corrected.
