to construct the full pathname. It starts to search at the default
mountpoint which is /dev/shm. If this fails it runs through fstab
and searches for shmfs and tmpfs. Whatever it finds will be
statfs()'ed to be checked for Linux' fs magic for shmfs (0x01021994).
Ideally our tmpfs should deliver this fs magic to Linux processes, but
as our tmpfs is considered to be an experimental feature we can not
assume that there is always a tmpfs available.
To make shared memory work in the Linuxulator, force the fs type of
/dev/shm (which can be a symlink) to match what Linux expects. The user
is responsible (info has to be added to the linux base ports and the docs)
to setup a suitable link for /dev/shm.

attributes for preloaded modules/images. In particular, MODINFO_ADDR has
the added complexity of not always being relocated properly. Rather than
kluging this in the various components that are affected, we handle it
in a centralized place (preload_fetch_addr()). To that end, expose a new
variable, preload_addr_relocate, that MD initialization code can set and
that turns the address attribute into a valid kernel VA.
Architectures that need the relocation: arm & powerpc (at least).
Components that can utilize this: acpi(4), md(4), fb(4), pci(4), ZFS, geli.

Drivers which rely on net80211 to create the beacon need to call
ieee80211_beacon_update() on iv_update_beacon() calls. This is required
that certain bits, e.g. TIM, get updated. A call to ieee80211_beacon_alloc()
is not enough because it does not care about flags which can only change
during runtime. By design a beacon is supposed to be allocated only once
while moving into RUN state.
To handle all possible calls to iv_update_beacon() the run_updateslot()
function has been revived and run_updateprot() has been added.
run_updateslot() handles slot time changes and run_updateprot() changes
to protection, both can change while nodes associate/leave.

There's still a lot of random issues to sort out with the radio side of
things and AMPDU RX handling (and completely missing AMPDU TX handling!)
but if people wish to give this a go and assist in debugging the
issues, they can define ATH_DO_11N to enable it.
I'm just re-iterating - this is here to allow people to assist in
further 11n development; it is not any indication that the 11n support
is complete and functional.
Important notes:
* This doesn't support 1-stream cards yet - (eg AR9285) - the various bits
that negotiate TX/RX MCS don't know not to try >1 stream TX or negotiate
1-stream RX; so don't enable 11n unless you've first taught the rate
control module and the net80211 stack to negotiate 1-stream stuff;
* The only rate control module minimally 11n aware is ath_rate_sample;
* ath_rate_sample doesn't know about HT/40; so airtime will be incorrectly
calculated;
* The AR9160 and AR9280 radio code is unreliable at the higher MCS rates for
some reason; this will definitely impact 11n performance;
* AMPDU-TX isn't yet implemented;
* AMPDU-RX may be a bit buggy still and will definitely suffer from the
radio unreliability mentioned above (ie, don't expect 150/300mbit
RX just yet.)
SU+J is not included as a FEATURE macro:
- it was not in the tree during the GSoC
- I do not see an option to en-/disable it in NOTES
Two minor changes where made during the review compared to what was developed
during GSoC 2010.
No FreeBSD version bump, the userland application to query the features will
be committed last and can serve as an indication of the availablility if
needed.

The correct bit to set is 0x1 in the high MAC address byte, not 0x80.
The hardware isn't programmed with that bit (which is the multicast
adress bit.)
The linux ath9k keycache code uses that bit in the MAC as a "this is
a multicast key!" and doesn't set the AR_KEYTABLE_VALID bit.
This tells the hardware the MAC isn't to be used for unicast destination
matching but it can be used for multicast bssid traffic.
This fixes some encryption problems in station mode.

us to print a better diagnostics message. This also has the
side effect of clearing the condition, which prevents an
interrupt storm.
Revert back to the previous method of doing it for where a node can be
identified and it's an 11n node.
I'll have to do some further research into exactly what is being messed up
with the sequence number matching and I'll then revisit this.
This doesn't yet take into account HT40 packet durations as the node info

putting descriptors (not buffers) across a 4k page boundary can cause issues.
I've not seen it in production myself but it apparently can cause problems.
So, in preparation for addressing this workaround, (re)-expose the particular
HAL capability bit which marks whether the chipset has support for cross-4k-
boundary transactions or not.
A subsequent commit will modify the descriptor allocation to avoid allocating
descriptor entries that straddle a 4k page boundary.

in doing so give all interrupts a fair chance of being handled.
Consequently, we're able to break into the kernel debugger in such

Bump __FreeBSD_version.
- entirely eliminate some calls to uio_yeild() as being unnecessary,
such as in a sysctl handler.
- move should_yield() and maybe_yield() to kern_synch.c and move the
prototypes from sys/uio.h to sys/proc.h
- add a slightly more generic kern_yield() that can replace the
functionality of uio_yield().
- replace source uses of uio_yield() with the functional equivalent,
or in some cases do not change the thread priority when switching.
- fix a logic inversion bug in vlrureclaim(), pointed out by bde@.
- instead of using the per-cpu last switched ticks, use a per thread
variable for should_yield(). With PREEMPTION, the only reasonable
use of this is to determine if a lock has been held a long time and
relinquish it. Without PREEMPTION, this is essentially the same as
the per-cpu variable.
