large to huge amounts of small or medium sized receive buffers. The problem
with these situations is that they eat up the available DMA address space
very quickly when using mbufs or even mbuf clusters. Additionally this
facility provides a direct mapping between 32-bit integers and these buffers.
This is needed for devices originally designed for 32-bit systems. Ususally
the virtual address of the buffer is used as a handle to find the buffer as
soon as it is returned by the card. This does not work for 64-bit machines
and hence this mapping is needed.

symbols from object files has bitrotted over the last
thirteen years, and it now does more harm than good.
An attempt to work around the problems caused by using
ld(1) for stripping was to pass LDFLAGS to the ld(1)
command, but this was not right either as ${LDFLAGS}
should, by design, be used with cc(1) and not ld(1).
One of the proposed solutions was to use the objcopy(1)
utility to do the strip work, and the other would be to
use strip(1), but Bruce Evans suggested not stripping
any symbols at all. This works by leaving the grunt
work to the final strip(1) command (when installing the
binary).

This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland

The matcd.4 man page has been upgraded to reflect current 5.1.x
functionality, and efforts were made to match the style and layout found
in similar-single purpose block drivers man pages found in the 5.1 tree
man4 area while not losing useful information. However, the documentation
folks should still take a look, since the man pages used as guides were
somewhat inconsistent on a variety of points.
