- fixed typos
- improved some comment descriptions
- use NULL, instead of 0, to denote a NULL pointer
- avoid embedding a magic number in the code
- use nd6log() instead of log() to record NDP-specific logs
- nuked an unnecessay white space

status. Add a thread that waits for events on the named pipe instead of
polling the line status via apm or the ACPI sysctl. Additionally, use
robust error handling in case devd goes away or we temporarily can't set
a frequency (i.e., passive cooling has preempted our setting).
Later, this should be improved so that if adaptive control is not being used,
we will block while waiting for AC line events, saving a little CPU.

sampling rate:
- Improve vchan chn_setspeed() strategy. Try to avoid FEEDER_RATE
on parent channel if the requested value is not supported
by the hardware.
- Fix vchan default speed calculation. In any case, vchan should
rely on parent bufsoft speed instead of bufhard since it is
possible that the entire feeder chain might involve FEEDER_RATE.
This is possible under extreme, rare condition if the above
chn_setspeed() strategy failed.

- Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't
run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held).
- In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in
a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because
ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This
implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is
being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding
any locks.
- Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original
approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning
the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when
two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable
interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the
NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr())
and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or
remove interrupts from the dispatch list.
- Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock().
- Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock
API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin().
- Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual
packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines
to manage the packet queue.
- Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create
a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation
says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is
a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.)
- Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl.
- Add the following conditional debugging code:
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers
NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long
- In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last,
since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be
started second and shut down next to last.

the descriptors set.
- In em_process_receive_interrupts(), call bus_dmamap_sync() for the
descriptors set each time we modify one descriptor, instead of doing it only
at the function exit, to make sure the adapters know he can re-use the
descriptor.
This helps on arm with write-back data cache (and possibly on other arches
with bounce pages, I don't know) under heavy network load. Without this,
if we attempt to process more than num_rx_desc descriptors, the adapter
would just stop processing rx interrupts.
While here, support up to four sections because it was trivial to do
and cheap. (One pointer per section).
For amd64 with "-fpic -shared" format .ko files, using a single PT_LOAD
section is important to avoid wasting about 1MB of KVM and physical ram
for the 'gap' between the two PT_LOAD sections. amd64 normally uses
.o format kld files and isn't affected normally. But -fpic -shared modules
are actually possible to produce and load... (And with a bugfix to
binutils, we can build and use plain -shared .ko files without -fpic)
i386 only wastes 4K per .ko file, so that isn't such a big deal there.
and fs.base. We always update pcb.pcb_gsbase and pcb.pcb_fsbase
when user wants to set them, in context switch routine, we only need to
write them into registers, we never have to read them out from registers
when thread is switched away. Since rdmsr is a serialization instruction,
micro benchmark shows it is worthy to do.
