It was additionally cleaned up by me.
It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC.
And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.

the SPI number which our current tcpdump knows how to display, and handoff to
pfil(9) for packet filtering.

according to that discussion. The description is in sys/conf/NOTES.
Lines in the GENERIC files are added in commented-out form.
I'll attach the test script I've used to PR.

for those upgrading from 4.x -> 5.x. It is therefore no longer
necessary because it is installed on 5.x and 6.x and one has to
upgrade from 6.x -> current, or at the very least 5.x (although not
supported, it can be made to work).
I picked it up again. The scheduler is forked from ULE, but the
algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.
As a result, it seems the MySQL super-smack runs better on my
Pentium-D machine when using libthr, despite on UP or SMP kernel.

for CBUS-PNP cards there) by default, as there are no amd64 and sparc64
machines with ISA slots and which therefore could make use of this code
known to exist. For sparc64 this additionally allows to get rid of the
compat shims for in{b,w,l}()/out{b,w,l}() etc and the associated hacks.

the arm to compile without all the extras that don't appear, at least
not in the flavors of ARM I deal with. This helps us save about 100k.
If I've botched the available devices on a platform, please let me
know and I'll correct ASAP.

This is old code, it's not maintained since 2003. We also don't have a
maintainer for this! Yuriy Tsibizov took it and uses it in his emu10kx
driver. Since the emu10kx driver will enter the tree "soon" (some bugs
have to be fixed after Yuriy return from his holidays), I add it here
already.
This also contains some changes to emu10k1 and cmi, so if you're lucky,
you can now make some kind of use of midi with those soundcards.
To all those poor souls which don't have such a card: feel free to send
patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
To those which miss a specific feature in the midi code: feel free to
submit patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
Oh, did I already told that it would be nice if someone would take care
of it? Maintainer with midi equipment wanted! :-)
If you get LOR's, submit a PR and notify multimedia@ please. If you get
panics, submit a PR with a backtrace (compile the sound system into your
kernel instead of using modules in this case) and notify multimedia@
please.

- Linux ioctl support, with the other Linux changes MegaCli
will run if you mount linprocfs & linsysfs then set
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.12 or similar. This works
on i386. It should work on amd64 but not well tested yet.
StoreLib may or may not work. Remember to kldload mfi_linux.
- Add in AEN (Async Event Notification) support so we can
get messages from the firmware when something happens.
Not all messages are in defined in event detail. Use
event_log to try to figure out what happened.
- Try to implement something like SIGIO for StoreLib. Since
mrmonitor doesn't work right I can't fully test it. StoreLib
works best with the rh9 base. In theory mrmonitor isn't
needed due to native driver support of AEN :-)
Now we can configure and monitor the RAID better.

lnc(4) on PC98 and i386. The ISA front-end supports the same non-PNP
network cards as lnc(4) did and additionally a couple of PNP ones.
Like lnc(4), the C-bus front-end of le(4) only supports C-NET(98)S
and is untested due to lack of such hardware, but given that's it's
based on the respective lnc(4) and not too different from the ISA
front-end it should be highly likely to work.
- Remove the descriptions of le(4), which where converted from lnc(4),
from sys/i386/conf/NOTES and sys/pc98/conf/NOTES as there's a common
one in sys/conf/NOTES.
Add a new option, SKYEYE_WORKAROUNDS, which as the name suggests adds
workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
- Force the write-back of PTEs once we're done writing them, even if they
are supposed to be write-through. I don't know why I have to do that.
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.

the linux module, since it is not cross-platform
- move linprocfs from "files" and "options" to architecture specific files,
since it only makes sense to build this for those architectures, where we
also have a linuxolator
- disable the build of the linuxolator on our tier-2 architecture "Alpha":
* we don't have a linux_base port which supports Alpha and at the
same time is not outdated/obsoleted upstream/in a good condition/
currently working
* the upcomming new default linux base port is based upon Fedora
Core 3 (security support via http://www.fedoralegacy.org), which
isn't available for Alpha (like the current default linux base
port which is based upon Red Hat 8)
* nobody answered my request for testing it ~1 month ago on
current@ and alpha@ (it doesn't surprises me, see above)
* a SoC student wouldn't have to waste time on something which
nobody is willing to test
This does not remove the alpha specific MD files of the linuxolator yet.

o Properly use rman(9) to manage resources. This eliminates the
need to puc-specific hacks to rman. It also allows devinfo(8)
to be used to find out the specific assignment of resources to
serial/parallel ports.
o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common
case and to use a procedural interface to handle the exceptions.
The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.
o Sync the PCI device configuration to include devices found in
NetBSD and not yet merged to FreeBSD.
o Add support for Quatech 2, 4 and 8 port UARTs.
o Add support for a couple dozen Timedia serial cards as found
in Linux.
This driver was generously developed and donated by Highpoint.
It is enabled for i386 only at the moment. I will enable it for amd64
shortly.

end for isa(4).
o Add a seperate bus frontend for acpi(4) and allow ISA DMA for
it when ISA is configured in the kernel. This allows acpi(4)
attachments in non-ISA configurations, as is possible for ia64.
o Add a seperate bus frontend for pci(4) and detect known single
port parallel cards.
o Merge PC98 specific changes under pc98/cbus into the MI driver.
The changes are minor enough for conditional compilation and
in this form invites better abstraction.
o Have ppc(4) usabled on all platforms, now that ISA specifics
are untangled enough.
Major differences:
* since there is no direct map region, there is no custom uma memory
allocator to modify to include its pages in the dumps.
* Various data entries are reduced from 64 bit to 32 bit to match the
native size.
dump_add_page() and dump_drop_page() are still present in case one wants to
arrange for arbitary pages to be dumped. This is of marginal use though
because libkvm+kgdb cannot address physical memory that isn't mapped into
kvm.
