- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
operations would.
- Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
cpu_switchin().
autodetect if on powerpc and use the APM gpart GEOM class
automaticaly. At this time support for full disk installation is
the only supported scheme.

This seems to break at least my test board here (AR71xx + AR8316 switch
PHY). Since I do have a whole sleuth of "normal" PHY boards (with
an AR71xx on a normal PHY port), I'll do some further testing with those
to determine whether this is a general issue, or whether it's limited
to the behaviour of the "fake" dedicated PHY port mode on these atheros
switches.
Fix issues stamping boot on other ZFS drives, now you can boot after removing
mirror drive.

intr_bind() on x86.
This has been requested by jhb and I strongly disagree with this,
but as long as he is the x86 and interrupt subsystem maintainer I will
follow his directives.
The disagreement cames from what we should really consider as a
public KPI. IMHO, if we really need a selection between the kernel
functions, we may need an explicit protection like _KERNEL_KPI, which
defines which subset of the kernel function might really be considered
as part of the KPI (for thirdy part modules) and which not.
As long as we don't have this mechanism I just consider any possible
function as usable by thirdy part code, thus intr_bind() included.

a c11 prefix to disambiguate them from the one provided by GCC.
Note: Clang 3.1 also supports the GCC builtins for libstdc++ 4.7 compatibility,
but I don't recommend using them because they are very poorly designed.

- in pcap_dispatch(), issue a prefetch on the buffer before the
callback, this may save a little bit of time if the client
is very fast.
- in pcap_inject(), use a fast copy routine, which also helps
saving a few nanoseconds with fast clients.
is running on other cpu, the CALLOUT_PENDING flag is temporarily
cleared. Then, callout_stop() on this, in fact active, callout fails
because CALLOUT_PENDING is not set, and callout_stop() returns 0.
Now, in sleepq_check_timeout(), the failed callout_stop() causes the
sleepq code to execute mi_switch() without even setting the wmesg,
since the switch-out is supposed to be transient. In fact, the thread
is put off the CPU for full timeout interval, instead of being put on
runq immediately. Until timeout fires, the process is unkillable for
obvious reasons.
Fix this by marking the migrating callouts with CALLOUT_DFRMIGRATION
flag. The flag is cleared by callout_stop_safe() when the function
detects a migration, besides returning the success. The softclock()
rechecks the flag for migrating callout and cancels its execution if
the flag was cleared meantime.

Enqueue thread in LIFO, this can cause starvation, but it gives better
performance. Use _thr_queuefifo to control the frequency of FIFO vs LIFO,
you can use environment string LIBPTHREAD_QUEUE_FIFO to configure the
variable.
Cleaner solution (e.g. adding another header) should be done here.
Original log:
Move several enums and structures required for L2 filtering from ip_fw_private.h to ip_fw.h.
Remove ipfw/ip_fw_private.h header from non-ipfw code.

Lagg(4) restricts the type of packet that may be sent directly to a child
port, to avoid undesired output from accidental misconfiguration.
Previously only ETHERTYPE_PAE was permitted.
BPF writes to a lagg(4) child port are presumably intentional, so just
allow them, while still blocking other packets that should take the
aggregation path.

another process is in open() or stat() for the device node, then
close() from the owning process does not result in cdevsw close
method call. This fixes the pemanent "Device busy" seen.
Changed the sndstat_lock from mutex to sx. This allows to extend
the region covered by the lock, to include the uiomove() call in
sndstat_read() and bufptr increment. This fixes the "panic:
