This hardware is not present on any modern systems. The driver is quite
hackish (raw inb/outb instead of bus_space, and raw inb/outb to random
I/O ports to enable ACPI since it predated proper ACPI support).

The wl(4) driver supports pre-802.11 PCCard wireless adapters that
are slower than 802.11b. They do not work with any of the 802.11
framework and the driver hasn't been reported to actually work in a
long time.
Relnotes: yes
The si(4) driver supported multiport serial adapters for ISA, EISA, and
PCI buses. This driver does not use bus_space, instead it depends on
direct use of the pointer returned by rman_get_virtual(). It is also
still locked by Giant and calls for patch testing to convert it to use
bus_space were unanswered.

alternate TCP stack in other then the closed state (pre-listen/connect).
The idea is that *if* that is supported by the alternate stack, it
is asked if its ok to switch. If it approves the "handoff" then we
allow the switch to happen. Also the fini() function now gets a flag
to tell if you are switching away *or* the tcb is destroyed. The
init() call into the alternate stack is moved to the end so the
tcb is more fully formed before the init transpires.

This is a driver for a pre-ATAPI ISA CD-ROM adapter. As noted in
the manpage, this driver is only useful as a backend to cdcontrol to
play audio CDs since it doesn't use DMA, so its data performance is
"abysmal" (and that was true in the mid 90's).
Previously the loop in PCIIOCGETCONF would terminate as soon as it
found enough matches. Now it will continue iterating through the
PCI device list and only terminate if it finds another matching device
for which it has no room to store a conf structure. This means that
PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE is reliably returned when the number of
matching devices is equal to the number of slots in the matches
buffer. For example, if a program requests the conf structure for a
single PCI function with a specified domain/bus/slot/function it will
now get PCI_GETCONF_LAST_DEVICE instead of PCI_GETCONF_MORE_DEVS.
While here, simplify the loop conditional a bit more by explicitly
breaking out of the loop if copyout() fails and removing a redundant
i < pci_numdevs check.

New design allows to attach multiple consumers to ntb_transport(4) instance.
Previous design obtained from Linux theoretically allowed that, but was not
practically usable (Linux also has only one consumer driver now).
New design allows hardware resources to be split between several consumers.
For example, one BAR can be dedicated for remote memory access, while other
resources can be used for packet transport for virtual Ethernet interface.
And even without resource split, this code allows to specify which consumer
driver should attach the hardware.
From some points this makes the code even closer to Linux one, even though
Linux does not provide the described flexibility.
- Support for the AC3165 and AC8260 chipsets was added by r303322 and r303327.

The asynchronous I/O changes made previously result in different
behavior out of the box. Previously all AIO requests failed with
ENOSYS / SIGSYS unless aio.ko was explicitly loaded. Now, some AIO
requests complete and others ("unsafe" requests) fail with EOPNOTSUPP.
Reword the introductory paragraph in aio(4) to add a general
description of AIO before describing the vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl.
Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_fsync(2), aio_read(2),
and aio_write(2) and replace it with a description of EOPNOTSUPP.
Remove the ENOSYS error description from aio_mlock(2).
Log a message to the system log the first time a process requests an
"unsafe" AIO request that fails with EOPNOTSUPP. This is modeled on
the log message used for processes using the legacy pty devices.

Also add a show callout <addr> command to DDB in order to inspect
