on architectures that need to call cninit() before the machine is
ready to support mutexes (required by make_dev()).
- Remove make_dev() call from scinit() when flags indicate
unit is the system console, rely on sc_attach_unit() to
handle it.
- When trying to access current screen's status (scr_stat
structure) use the static one provided for the initial
system console if no dev_t is available.
- When calling make_dev() in sc_attach_unit() catch special
case of system's initial console and set up dev_t structure
to include pointer to console's scr_stat struct.

- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
don't try to unlock it and then relock it.
- Push Giant down into proc_rwmem() instead of forcing all the consumers
(including Alpha breakpoint support) to explicitly wrap calls to
proc_rwmem() with Giant.

case where an /etc/nsswitch.conf file was present, but could not
be opened (e.g. due to permissions). Previously, the open failure
condition was suppressed, and the built-in defaults were used. In
revision 1.11, however, propagated the open failure causing all
nsdispatch() invocations to return NS_UNAVAIL, and thus many APIs
including getpwnam and gethostbyname unconditionally failed.
This commit restores the previous behavior.

not quite well by me - if kern.ps_argsopen was set to 0, users weren't
permitted to see arguments of even own processes.
But kern.ps_argsopen is going away, so just remove this check and leave
security checks for p_cansee() function.
1. This check if wrong, because it is true by default
(kern.ps_argsopen is 1 by default) (p_cansee() is not even checked).
2. Sysctl kern.ps_argsopen is going away.
completely understand], md_takeroot() runs before md_preloaded(),
rendering both useless.
As a fix, move the body (effectively one line!) of md_takeroot()
into md_preloaded(), and get rid of the stuff that has become useless.
Bug and fix reported 10 days ago on -current, no reply.
the driver's RX ring head may fall behind the chip, causing the
stuck traffic, disordered packets, etc. Work around this by
adopting the technique of resyncing RX head used in dc(4) and
xl(4) drivers, but do it in a slightly different place to reduce
the number of resyncs needed.
Also, set the NIC's RX polling period to a more meaningful value,
to stop overloading the PCI bus (this also reduces the number of
resyncs by a factor of 3 or more in a long run; the actual number
is very dependent on a nature of the traffic).
Maintain the statistics counter as the hw.ste_rxsyncs sysctl.

The vendor branch import uses a _U_ macro to apply the GCC 'unused' attribute
to the rcs ids embedded in each source file. Teach ndp about this.
