incorrect, however, as Dennis Ritchie states ``Actually the acronym is "block
started by symbol." It was a pseudo-op in FAP (Fortran Assembly Program), an
assembler for the IBM <models> machines. It identified its label and set
aside space for a given number of words.''

MFC after: 2 days
trying to run X on some Athlon systems where the BIOS does odd things
(mines an ASUS A7A266, but it seems to also help on other systems).
Here's a description of the problem and my fix:
The problem with the old MTRR code is that it only expects
to find documented values in the bytes of MTRR registers.
To convert the MTRR byte into a FreeBSD "Memory Range Type"
(mrt) it uses the byte value and looks it up in an array.
If the value is not in range then the mrt value ends up
containing random junk.
This isn't an immediate problem. The mrt value is only used
later when rewriting the MTRR registers. When we finally
go to write a value back again, the function i686_mtrrtype()
searches for the junk value and returns -1 when it fails
to find it. This is converted to a byte (0xff) and written
back to the register, causing a GPF as 0xff is an illegal
value for a MTRR byte.
To work around this problem I've added a new mrt flag
MDF_UNKNOWN. We set this when we read a MTRR byte which
we do not understand. If we try to convert a MDF_UNKNOWN
back into a MTRR value, then the new function, i686_mrt2mtrr,
just returns the old value of the MTRR byte. This leaves
the memory range type unchanged.
I have seen one side effect of the fix, which is that ACPI calls
after X has been run seem to hang my machine. As running X would
previously panic the machine, this is still an improvement ;-)
I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 code freeze - please let me
know if it causes any problems.

can test this with XFree 4 that would be very useful.

exhausting the kernel timeout table. Perform the usual gymnastics to
avoid race conditions between node shutdown and timeouts occurring.
Also fix a bug in handling ack delays < PPTP_MIN_ACK_DELAY. Before,
we were ack'ing immediately. Instead, just impose a minimum ack delay
time, like the name of the macro implies.

hash while holding the lock on a zone. Fix this by doing the allocation
seperately from the actual hash expansion.
The lock is dropped before the allocation and reacquired before the expansion.
The expansion code checks to see if we lost the race and frees the new hash
if we do. We really never will lose this race because the hash expansion is
single threaded via the timeout mechanism.
Satoshi NIIMI-san kindly explained that EUC does not limit the byte length to
any arbitrary number.
We now set the limit to the maximum octet length of the codeset and it is
locale-specific.

The extra microphone channel capability is part of the "normal" ac97
capabilities and not an extended ac97 capability. Now recording on
codecs without a seperate mic channel works.

o Use chunk instead of region when we talk about a memory range.
Region can be confused with region register and we already
call it chunk in machdep.c
o Update the twiddle every 16MB
With rev 1.7 one cannot build src/bin/sh -- because make fails to create
the buildtools before trying to use them. Actually it does compile the
buildtools into .o's before trying to use them, but not all the way into
binaries.
