This is a MAC policy module that grants scheduling privileges based on
group membership. Users or processes in the group realtime (gid 47) are
allowed to run threads and processes with realtime scheduling priority.
For timing-sensitive, low-latency software like audio/jack, running with
realtime priority helps to avoid stutter and gaps.

The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

Building and installing architecture-specific man pages only raises a number of
problems:
* The https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi is incomplete. As an
example, it does not show results for pae(4). The reason for this is
that the cgi interface runs on FreeBSD amd64.
* In FreeBSD amd64 some manual pages have broken X-refs. See hptrr(4)
for an example.
* Also, we have broken links in our Release Notes. This is a
consequence of the first point. See
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/hardware/#proc-i386.
Make MAN_ARCH default to 'all' so we build all the man pages for all the
architectures. The difference in disk space is negligible. Also link
architecture-specific man pages to their own section while keeping their own
namespace.

After length decisions, we've decided that the if_wg(4) driver and

larger security implications than many, and thus will be held to
more scrutiny than other drivers.

These ioctl commands aim to provide easier ways for user space
applications to enumerate existing audio devices and the node they can
potentially use.
The exchange of device lists between user space and kernel is done on

- SNDSTAT_REFRESH_DEVS
- SNDSTAT_GET_DEVS
- SNDSTAT_ADD_USER_DEVS

This node is part of an A10-NSP (L2-BSA) development.
Carrier networks tend to stack three or more tags for internal
purposes and therefore hiding the service tags deep inside of the
stack. When decomposing such an access network frame, the processing
order is typically reversed: First distinguish by service, than by
other means.
This new netgragh node allows to bring the relevant VLAN in front (to
the out-most position). This way other netgraph nodes (like ng_vlan)
can operate on this specific type.
