There are too many questions in freebsd-amd64@ about how to enable Linux
support that it seems a required piece of functionality. Thus we should
just have it on by default.
series of controllers. Areca provides a CLI and HTTP management tool for
FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 on their website. Many thanks to Areca for
their support of FreeBSD. Thanks also to Mike Tansca and Sentex Communications
for donating hardware.

ndis_timercall() in NdisMInitializeTimer(), we can't use the raw
function pointer. This is because ntoskrnl_run_dpc() expects to
invoke a function with Microsoft calling conventions. On i386,
this works because ndis_timercall() is declared with the __stdcall
attribute, but this is a no-op on amd64. To do it correctly, we
have to generate a wrapper for ndis_timercall() and us the wrapper
instead of of the raw function pointer.
Fix this by adding ndis_timercall() to the funcptr table in subr_ndis.c,
and create ndis_findwrap() to extract the wrapped function from the
table in NdisMInitializeTimer() instead of just passing ndis_timercall()
to KeInitializeDpc() directly.
checks, including cpuid_is_k7(), will catch CPUs that really don't support
this method.

on filesystems which safely support them. It appears that many
network filesystems specifically are not shared lock safe.

since simply unlocking a mutex does not ensure that one of the waiters
will run and acquire it. We're more likely to reacquire the mutex
before anyone else has a chance. It has also bit me three times now, as
it's not safe to drop the interlock before sleeping in many cases.

objdump --disassemble when disassembling itself in userland. I've added
the cmovCC instruction group and tweaked a bunch of size sensitive array
indexes to either fix my mistakes and/or force it to work by any means
necessary.
I'm committing this because it is usable enough to see what is going on
when single stepping via ddb.
It might still tell lies, but its lies will be far more subtle now. I'm
not sure that this is a good thing or not.

committing this as an intermediate stage because back then I thought I
understood what I was doing with this file.
an ap in 11g with protection enabled
o correct rate selection when operating in 11g with protection when no
packets have been sent yet (from John Bicket)
o track api change to get first descriptor and use it to collect the frame
length for calculating the state bin
o add more debugging and shuffle some existing debugging to give more info
o bump version to distinguish bug fixes
to the rate control module for tx complete processing; this enables
rate control algorithms to extract the packet length for xmits that
require multiple descriptors
