Import mvs(4) - Marvell 88SX50XX/88SX60XX/88SX70XX/SoC SATA controllers
driver for CAM ATA subsystem. This driver supports same hardware as
atamarvell, ataadaptec and atamvsata drivers from ata(4), but provides
many additional features, such as NCQ, PMP, etc.
Add an optional "persistent" flag to ng_hub and ng_bridge, which if set,
disables automatic node shutdown when the last hook gets disconnected.

Note: clock accepts CLOCK_VIRTUAL and CLOCK_PROF too, but this seems broken
as it simply waits for the difference of the current and given value of the
clock as if it were CLOCK_MONOTONIC. So document only CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC as allowed.
When an underlying ioctl(2) handler returns an error, our ioctl(2)
interface considers that it hits a fatal error, and will not copyout
the request structure back for _IOW and _IOWR ioctls, keeping them
untouched.
The previous implementation of the SIOCGIFDESCR ioctl intends to
feed the buffer length back to userland. However, if we return
an error, the feedback would be defeated and ifconfig(8) would
trap into an infinite loop.
This commit changes SIOCGIFDESCR to set buffer field to NULL to
indicate the previous ENAMETOOLONG case.

Please welcome HAST - Highly Avalable Storage.
HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

Remove GNU cpio after fix of CVE-2010-0624.
Note that this is actually a no-op for most users, as this GNU
cpio was broken on -HEAD and 8-STABLE since last March until
the recent fix.
FreeBSD 8.0+ uses BSD cpio by default and the code is being
actively maintained.
Improve descriptions, remove turnstiles (since, from what I understand,
they are only used to implement other synchronization primitives), tweak
formatting.
