When porting FreeBSD to a new platform, one of the more useful things to do is
get mi_startup() to let you know which SYSINIT it's up to. Most people tend to
whack a printf in the SYSINIT loop to print the address of the function it's
about to call. Going one better, jhb made a version that uses DDB to look up
the name of the function and print that instead. This version is essentially
his with the addition of some ifdeffery to make it optional and to allow it to
work (although using only the function address, not the symbol) if you forgot
to enable DDB.

in HEAD's release notes, even though the issues involved were applied
(and fixed). Copy their descriptions from one of the RELENG_*
branches (RELENG_5 in this case).
SA-06:08 and SA-06:09 were not applicable to code on HEAD and thus not
mentioned.
Remove an unnecessary check of the table's bus clock. CPUs that
support this feature export only the high/low settings via the MSR,
packed into 32 bits.

to device hints was committed. The GENERIC kernel configuration lost
its 'device fd' line at revision 1.260, committed by peter@ on
2000/06/13 22:28:46 UTC.
Delete the reference to 'device fd', to avoid kernel build breakage like
the one described in the PR audit trail.

issue where some global jail_* variables were overriden in the script. [1]
- Change "jid" to "jname" in rc.conf(5), since it's more a jail name than a
jail id. [1]
- Update examples and comments in defaults/rc.conf to advertise new
variables and the fact that some of the jail-specific variables may be made
jail-global. [2]

"sweeping" ping(8), sh(1) built-in times.
I uncovered these in a sweep of items that need to be merged to
the 5.4 release notes. It's possible that all of these items
should have been in the 6.1 release notes (not confirmed).
particular importance to those living in the Western Hemisphere as
many non-U.S. zones will be changing DST rules next year to match the
U.S.

subdirectories that will be used for removable media mount points (i.e.
mount points for CDs, floppy disks, USB drives, etc.). While the primary
purpose of /media is to provide a location for HAL
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal) to mount volumes, it could
be used by any application that needs to manage removable media volumes.

vm_ksubmap_init() calls pmap_copy_page(), which uses the mini data cache
to do the copy, but we're running uncaching before cpu_setup().
For some reason it hasn't been a problem so far, but it is for the
PXA255.
