This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.
The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.
Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c
Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.
Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables
positively not let ti_encap() fill up the TX ring all the way and wrap
around. This fixes a potential transmit lockup where a really fast
machine (or particular TX traffic pattern) can overrun the end of the
ring.

This is tested, but I really can't say whether it works entirely. I
don't know exactly what to look for when testing it. So let's say this
is open for testing. Send any results to green@FreeBSD.org

sure that i686_mem was only used when
1. CPUID had MTRR set (this was there before)
2. the CPU was GenuineIntel (not there)
3. the CPU is a 686 (also not there)
This should prevent any problems with CPUs that set MTRR but aren't
compatibile with Intel's interface (none that I know of yet.)
uni-directional parallel port should use olpt driver instead of lpt

automatically hacks on the active copy of the IDT if f00f_hack()
has changed it. This also allows simplifications in setidt().
This fixes breakage of FP exception handling by rev.1.55 of
sys/kernel.h. FP exceptions were sent to npx.c's probe handlers
because npx.c "restored" the old handlers to the wrong copy of the
IDT. The SYSINIT for f00f_hack() was purposely run quite late to
avoid problems like this, but it is bogusly associated with the
SYSINIT for proc0 so it was moved with the latter.

This is the change to struct sockets that gets rid of so_uid and replaces
it with a much more useful struct pcred *so_cred. This is here to be able
to do socket-level credential checks (i.e. IPFW uid/gid support, to be added
to HEAD soon). Along with this comes an update to pidentd which greatly
simplifies the code necessary to get a uid from a socket. Soon to come:
a sysctl() interface to finding individual sockets' credentials.
creating a new entry. vm_map_stack and vm_map_growstack can panic when
a new entry isn't created. Fixed vm_map_stack and vm_map_growstack.
Also, when extending the stack, always set the protection to VM_PROT_ALL.
like the original PNIC and the MX98715A (from which the PNIC II is derived).
This requires special handling. Save the card type, and in mx_calchash(),
if we see that the card is a PNIC, return only the low 7 bits of the
hash instead of the low 9 bits.

and taking a degenerate code path as a result. It appears that waiting
instead for buffers to become available is okay.

make sure we've freed any allocated resources (to avoid a memory leak)
and and do the right thing with respect to the nfs node hash lock we'd
acquired.
Also add offsets into the IDE parameter block so that it is humanly
possible to match the structure to the manufacturer's documentation.
