submitted version with style cleanups and changes to comments. I also
modified the ioctl interface. This version only has one ioctl (to get
the Synaptics-specific config parameters) since this is the only
information a user might want.

- Enable recursion on the page queues lock. This allows calls to
vm_page_alloc(VM_ALLOC_NORMAL) and UMA's obj_alloc() with the page
queues lock held. Such calls are made to allocate page table pages
and pv entries.
- The previous change enables a partial reversion of vm/vm_page.c
revision 1.216, i.e., the call to vm_page_alloc() by vm_page_cowfault()
now specifies VM_ALLOC_NORMAL rather than VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT.
- Add partial locking to pmap_copy(). (As a side-effect, pmap_copy()
should now be faster on i386 SMP because it no longer generates IPIs
for TLB shootdown on the other processors.)
- Complete the locking of pmap_enter() and pmap_enter_quick(). (As of now,
all changes to a user-level pmap on alpha, amd64, and i386 are performed
with appropriate locking.)
- zone_large_init() stays pretty much the same.
- zone_small_init() will try to stash the slab header in the slab page
being allocated if the amount of calculated wasted space is less
than UMA_MAX_WASTE (for both the UMA_ZONE_REFCNT case and regular
case). If the amount of wasted space is >= UMA_MAX_WASTE, then
UMA_ZONE_OFFPAGE will be set and the slab header will be allocated
separately for better use of space.
- uma_startup() calculates the maximum ipers required in offpage slabs
(so that the offpage slab header zone(s) can be sized accordingly).
The algorithm used to calculate this replaces the old calculation
(which only happened to work coincidentally). We now iterate over
possible object sizes, starting from the smallest one, until we
determine that wastedspace calculated in zone_small_init() might
end up being greater than UMA_MAX_WASTE, at which point we use the
found object size to compute the maximum possible ipers. The
reason this works is because:
- wastedspace versus objectsize is a see-saw function with
local minima all equal to zero and local maxima growing
directly proportioned to objectsize. This implies that
for objects up to or equal a certain objectsize, the see-saw
remains entirely below UMA_MAX_WASTE, so for those objectsizes
it is impossible to ever go OFFPAGE for slab headers.
- ipers (items-per-slab) versus objectsize is an inversely
proportional function which falls off very quickly (very large
for small objectsizes).
- To determine the maximum ipers we'll ever need from OFFPAGE
slab headers we first find the largest objectsize for which
we are guaranteed to not go offpage for and use it to compute
ipers (as though we were offpage). Since the only objectsizes
allowed to go offpage are bigger than the found objectsize,
and since ipers vs objectsize is inversely proportional (and
monotonically decreasing), then we are guaranteed that the
ipers computed is always >= what we will ever need in offpage
slab headers.
- Define UMA_FRITM_SZ and UMA_FRITMREF_SZ to be the actual (possibly
padded) size of each freelist index so that offset calculations are
fixed.
This might fix weird data corruption problems and certainly allows
ARM to now boot to at least single-user (via simulator).

* Some systems have _FDE and child floppy devices, but no _FDI. This seems
to be compatible with the standard. Don't error out if there is no _FDI.
Instead, continue on to the next device. The normal fd probe will take
care of this device.
* Some systems have _FDE but no child devices in AML. For these, add a
second pass that compares the results of _FDE to the presence of devices.
If not present, add the missing device.
* Some BIOS authors didn't read the spec. They use tape drive values for
all fdc(4) devices. Since this isn't grossly incompatible with the
required boolean value, use them. They also define the _FDE items as a
package instead of buffer. Regenerate the buffer from the package if it
is present.

Add local rootvp variables as needed.
Remove checks for miniroot's in the swappartition. We never did that
and most of the filesystems could never be used for that, but it had
still been copy&pasted all over the place.
vm/vm_object.c revision 1.88) and vm_object_sync() (originating in
vm/vm_map.c revision 1.36): When descending a chain of backing objects,
both use the wrong object's backing offset. Consequently, both may
operate on the wrong pages.
Quoting Matt, "This could be responsible for all of the sporatic madvise
oddness that has been reported over the years."

Alice is too lazy to write a server application in PF-independent
manner. Therefore she knocks up the server using PF_INET6 only
and allows the IPv6 socket to accept mapped IPv4 as well. An evil
hacker known on IRC as cheshire_cat has an account in the same
system. He starts a process listening on the same port as used
by Alice's server, but in PF_INET. As a consequence, cheshire_cat
will distract all IPv4 traffic supposed to go to Alice's server.
Such sort of port theft was initially enabled by copying the code that
implemented the RFC 2553 semantics on IPv4/6 sockets (see inet6(4)) for
the implied case of the same owner for both connections. After this
change, the above scenario will be impossible. In the same setting,
the user who attempts to start his server last will get EADDRINUSE.
Of course, using IPv4 mapped to IPv6 leads to security complications
in the first place, but there is no reason to make it even more unsafe.
This change doesn't apply to KAME since it affects a FreeBSD-specific
part of the code. It doesn't modify the out-of-box behaviour of the
TCP/IP stack either as long as mapping IPv4 to IPv6 is off by default.

this file from userland. Since we export struct ifnet to userland, and
that struct ifnet now contains a struct task, userland needs to know
what struct task looks like.
We need to consider having a pointer to a struct task here instead and
forward declare struct task in the !_KERNEL case.

unit-at-a-time mode of GCC 3.4.2 prevents linker set components from
being emitted at all.

with the FIN bit set for all segments, if a FIN has already been sent before.
The fix will allow the FIN bit to be set for only the last segment, in case
it has to be retransmitted.
Fix another bug that would have caused snd_nxt to be pulled by len if
there was an error from ip_output. snd_nxt should not be touched
during sack retransmissions.
synchronizing IPv6 protocol control blocks and lists. These changes
are modeled on the inpcb locking for IPv4, submitted by Jennifer Yang,
and committed by Jeffrey Hsu. With these locking changes, IPv6 use of
inpcbs is now substantially more MPSAFE, and permits IPv4 inpcb locking
assertions to be run in the presence of IPv6 compiled into the kernel.
device drivers to declare that the ifp->if_start() method implemented
by the driver requires Giant in order to operate correctly.
Add a 'struct task' to 'struct ifnet' that can be used to execute a
deferred ifp->if_start() in the event that if_start needs to be called
in a Giant-free environment. To do this, introduce if_start(), a
wrapper function for ifp->if_start(). If the interface can run MPSAFE,
it directly dispatches into the interface start routine. If it can't
run MPSAFE, we're running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, and Giant isn't
currently held, the task is queued to execute in a swi holding Giant
via if_start_deferred().
Modify if_handoff() to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
Modify 802.11 to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
This is intended to provide increased compatibility for non-MPSAFE
network device drivers in the presence of Giant-free operation via
asynchronous dispatch. However, this commit does not mark any network
interfaces as IFF_NEEDSGIANT.
