o recognize ixp435 cpu
o change memory layout for for ixp4xx to not assume memory is aliases
to 0x10000000 (Cambria/ixp435 memory starts at zero)
o handle 64 irqs for ixp435
o dual EHCI USB 2.0 controller integral to ixp435
o overhaul NPE code for ixp435 and better MAC+MII naming
o updated NPE firmware (including NPE-A image for ixp435/ixp465)
o Gateworks Cambria board support:
- IDE compact flash
- MCU
- front panel LED on i2c bus
- Octal LED latch
Sanity-tested with NFS-root on Avila and Cambria boards. Requires
pending boot2 mods for CF-boot on Cambria.
module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
current@ and stable@ for the locking patches. The driver can always be
revived if someone tests it.
This driver also sleeps in its if_init routine, so it likely doesn't really
work at all anyway in modern releases.
- Add a mutex to the softc and use it to protect the softc and device
hardware.
- Setup interrupt handler after interface attach.
- Retire 'unit' from softc and use if_printf() instead.
- Don't frob IFF_UP in the driver.
- Use callout_() rather than timeout() and untimeout().
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

zone code. The GPE handler method (i.e. _L00) generates various Notify
events that need to be run to completion before the GPE is re-enabled.
In ACPI-CA, we queue an asynch callback at the same priority as a Notify
so that it will only run after all Notify handlers have completed. The
callback re-enables the GPE afterwards. We also changed the priority of
Notifies to be the same as GPEs, given the possibility that another GPE
could arrive before the Notifies have completed and we don't want it to
get queued ahead of the rest.
The ACPI-CA change was submitted by Alexey Starikovskiy (SUSE) and will
appear in a later release. Special thanks to him for helping track this
bug down.

This patch was part of ACPI-CA 20070508 release and the
following is excerpt from its change log:
Fixed a problem where the Global Lock handle was not properly
updated if a thread that acquired the Global Lock via executing
AML code then attempted to acquire the lock via the
AcpiAcquireGlobalLock interface. Reported by Joe Liu.

place we install LICENSE files for restricted firmwares.
- Teach firmware(9) and kmod.mk about licensed firmwares. Restricted firmwares
won't load properly unless legal.<name>.license_ack is set to 1, either
via kenv(1) or /boot/loader.conf.

o remove os-specific glue code; it's now the responsibility of
the driver
o add wackelf utility for patching the ELF magic number on arm
builds since noone can agree on how to mark a .o file as not
having any floating point instructions
o remove radar/dfs-related entry points; folks have finally
decided how to support dfs w/o polluting the hal
o properly recognize AR2424 chips (they were being rejected on
attach despite being fully supported)
o add HAL_CAP_RXORN_FATAL capability to control how RXORN errors
are handled; previously RXORN was always treated as fatal because
older chips required a reset; now we do not treat it as fatal
for "newer chips" (noone seems to know what the cutoff is so
this capability can be used to override the current guestimate)
o HAL_CAP_RXTSTAMP_PREC capability to export the number of bits
of precision for timestamp data returned in the rx descriptor
o remove public exposure of the compression buffer; it is chip
specific and never belonged in the public view
o change definition of HAL_INT_GLOBAL from an enum member to a
#define to workaround compilers that bitch about enum values
that appear overflow 31 bits
o add support for newer chips that can store the tkip mic key
together with the cipher key in a single key cache entry
o split tx/rx descriptor into a h/w section and a s/w portion;
this permits storing the s/w area in cached memory when the
h/w area is stored in uncached memory; this also shrinks
memory use since only one status block is needed while multiple
tx/rx descriptors may be required per frame
o add final transmit series index to the transmit descriptor status
so rate control algorithms don't need to grovel through h/w state
to find it
o remove ds_vdata field from the descriptor state as part of the
radar changes
o fix excessive stack usage for some 5212 rf backends
o correct rfkill handling when the pin polarity is 0 true
o correct handling of tsf wrap when reading 64-bit values
