- Enable stealing load from the idle thread only when the remote processor
has more than two transferable tasks. Setting this to one further

- Remove the bogus pick_zero option. I had not intended to commit this.
- Entirely disallow migration for threads with SRQ_YIELDING set. This
balances out the extra migration allowed for with the load balancers.
It also makes pick_pri perform better as I had anticipated.

the thread and add it to the run queue. This is used only for KSE.
- When we add a thread from the tdq_move() via sched_balance() we need to
ipi the target if it's sitting in the idle thread or it'll never run.

- Add custom .c wrappers for the firmware, rather than the standard
firmware(9) generated firmware objects to work around toolchain
problems on ia64 involving linking objects produced by
ld -b -binary into the kernel.
- Move from using Myricom's ".dat" firmware blobs to using Myricom's
zlib compressed ".h" firmware header files. This is done to
facilitate the custom wrappers, and saves a fair amount of wired
memory in the case where the firmware is built in, or preloaded.

general, when support was added to netstat for fetching data using sysctl,
no provision was left for fetching equivalent data from a core dump, and
in fact, netstat would _always_ fetch data from the live kernel using
sysctl even when -M was specified resulting in the user believing they
were getting data from coredumps when they actually weren't. Some specific
changes:
- Add a global 'live' variable that is true if netstat is running against
the live kernel and false if -M has been specified.
- Stop abusing the sysctl flag in the protocol tables to hold the protocol
number. Instead, the protocol is now its own field in the tables, and
it is passed as a separate parameter to the PCB and stat routines rather
than overloading the KVM offset parameter.
- Don't run PCB or stats functions who don't have a namelist offset if we
are being run against a crash dump (!live).
- For the inet and unix PCB routines, we generate the same buffer from KVM
that the sysctl usually generates complete with the header and trailer.
- Don't run bpf stats for !live (before it would just silently always run
live).
- kread() no longer trashes memory when opening the buffer if there is an
error on open and the passed in buffer is smaller than _POSIX2_LINE_MAX.
- The multicast routing code doesn't fallback to kvm on live kernels if
the sysctl fails. Keeping this made the code rather hairy, and netstat
is already tied to the kernel ABI anyway (even when using sysctl's since
things like xinpcb contain an inpcb) so any kernels this is run against
that have the multicast routing stuff should have the sysctls.
- Don't try to dig around in the kernel linker in the netgraph PCB routine
for core dumps.
Other notes:
- sctp's PCB routine only works on live kernels, it looked rather
complicated to generate all the same stuff via KVM. Someone can always
add it later if desired though.
- Fix the ipsec removal bug where N_xxx for IPSEC stats weren't renumbered.
- Use sysctlbyname() everywhere rather than hardcoded mib values.

The SDM states that writing to ar.bspstore invalidates the ar.rnat
register as a side-effect. This was interpreted as "bits in the
ar.rnat register that correspond to registers whose value is on
the stack are undefined'. Since we keep the kernel stack NaT-
aligned with the user stack (i.e. the lower 9 bits of the backing
store pointer remain unchanged when we switch to the kernel stack)
bits that need preserving would be preserved.
That interpretation is questionable. So, now, the interpretation
is more absolute: ar.rnat is undefined after writing to ar.bspstore.
As such, we write the saved value of ar.rnat back to ar.rnat after
writing to ar.bspstore.

away that it may be easily reattached to the build before 7.1 if

- Don't install netatm include files
- Disconnect netatm command line management tools
- Don't build libatm
- Don't include ATM parts in rescue or sysinstall
- Don't install sample configuration files and documents
- Don't build kernel support as a module or in NOTES
- Don't build netgraph wrapper nodes for netatm
