If B_NOCACHE is set the pages of vm backed buffers will be invalidated.
However clean buffers can be backed by dirty VM pages so invalidating them
can lead to data loss.
Add support for flush dirty page in the data invalidation function
of some network file systems.
This fixes data losses during vnode recycling (and other code paths
using invalbuf(*,V_SAVE,*,*)) for data written using an mmaped file.

client into the kernel by default, and many users won't use NFS,
don't start an extra 4 kernel threads that are unused. Once NFS
becomes active, it will start nfsiod's as it needs them.
We might consider mandating a minimum iod's equal to the number of
active NFS mounts (truncated to some value), which would force some
to remain available without having to create a new one if the file
system is mostly inactive.

use other kernel facilities (like netgraph nodes) for altering those tags.

EHCI spec for linking in new qTDs into an asynchronous QH. This
requires that there is a qTD marked as not active and not halted
at the start of the QH's list, and the hardware will know to re-fetch
the qTD on each pass rather than just looking at the overlay qTD:
"The host controller must be able to advance the queue from the
Fetch QH state in order to avoid all hardware/software race
conditions. This simple mechanism allows software to simply link
qTDs to the queue head and activate them, then the host controller
will always find them if/when they are reachable."
This is achieved by keeping an "inactivesqtd" entry on the QH list,
and re-using it each time as the start of the next transfer, and
allocating a new qTD to become the next inactivesqtd. Then a new
transfer can be activated by just setting its "active" flag, which
avoids all the previous messing with overlay qTD state in
ehci_set_qh_qtd().
more appropriate value and is also the default set by the kernel. I
could not find a justification of why rc.conf began overriding it back
in 1998.
This dramatically cuts NFS traffic on e.g. a busy system with NFS root.

mimicing the NFS reference implementation.
NFS over TCP does not need fast retransmit timeouts, since network loss
and congestion are managed by the transport (TCP), unlike with NFS over
UDP. A long timeout prevents the unnecessary retransmission of non-
idempotent NFS requests.

There should be no functional change except there is now a lower limit
on the retransmit timeout to prevent the client from retransmitting
faster than the server's disks can fill requests, and an upper limit
to prevent the estimator from taking to long to retransmit during a
server outage.

before starting exploring (4 seconds), and extend the wait period
if new USB buses are attached while waiting.
This works around a problem seen when there is more than one EHCI
controller in the system and you kldload usb.ko after the system
has booted. The problem is that usb.ko contains 3 separate PCI
drivers which get initialised one by one (uhci, ohci, ehci), and
when each driver is initialised, all PCI buses are re-probed after
just the addition of that driver. This means that there can be a
significant delay between the attaching of a companion controller
and the subsequent EHCI attach, so it is possible for the companion
controller's USB 1.x bus to be scanned before the EHCI driver gets
a chance to check if there is really a USB 2.x device connected.
- Rename REG_DL to REG_DLL and REG_DLH.
- Always treat DLL and DLH as two separate 8-bit registers instead of one
16-bit register.
Additionally, remove the probe for the high 4 bits of IER being 0 and don't
assume we can always read/write 0 to/from those bits.
These changes allow uart(4) to drive the UARTs on the Intel XScale PXA255.
