during a data phase. Before, we would try to recover the autosense, but
the DMA engine would still be active with interrupted transfer, and we'd
quickly spiral out of control and cause massive data corruption. For now,
just reset the chip and cancel everything. The better solution is to
cancel the DMA operation, but there is no clear way to do that right now.
The data corruption problem is severe enough to warrant this fix in the
interim. Thanks to Kris Kenneway to sacrificing countless filesystems to
this bug.

the number of entries in exec_map (maximum number of simultaneous execs
that can be handled by the kernel). The default value of 16 is
insufficient on heavily loaded machines (particularly SMP machines), and
if it is exceeded then executing further processes will generate a SIGABRT.
This is a workaround until a better solution can be implemented.

on boards with VIA gigE controllers that are embedded in VIA chipsets.
Presumably, they don't have an external EEPROM and store the MAC
address somewhere else. To get around this, force an autoload and
read the station address from the RX filter registers instead.
This has been tested to work on both embedded and standalone
controllers.
While there also check for failed device_add_child calls.

These are two of the three files that have non-trivial differences from
the vendor branch. minigzip.c is the third, but there were no changes
from ZLib 1.2.1 to ZLib 1.2.2 in that file.
The rest of the files I intend to get reverted back to the vendor
branch (with cooperation of cvsadmin@).

here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built
into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are
created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under
the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module
that can be kldloaded into the kernel.
A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into
foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static
kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the
.INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module.
You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have
it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled
into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately).
Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system
bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually
sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for
the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep()
doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence
ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead).
This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much
else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy.
There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap.
Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading
them and kldload them once the system is running instead.

each partition that was added or removed, indicating its name.
- add an -a option to 'gpt remove' which must be explicitly specified
to remove all partitions.
