While here:
o Make the UUIDs static to avoid runtime initialization,
o Rename ext to mslinux,
o Replace the use of memcmp() with uuid_equal(),
o Various style(9) improvements,
o Order the comparisons based on importance,
o Remove the word partition from all the descriptions,
o Other description improvements.

some debug support turned on. It turns out the sections in this driver
binary had relative virtual addresses (RVAs) that were different
from the raw addresses, and it had a .data section where the virtual size
was much larger than the raw size. (Most production binaries produced
with the Microsoft DDK have RVA == PA.)
There's code in the ndiscvt(8) utility that's supposed to handle
the vsize != rsize case, but it turns out it was slightly broken,
and it failed to handle the RVA != RA case at all. Hopefully, this
commit will fix all that.
UFS2 was here. It so happened that UFS2 did not need a seperate
partition type. Keep the definition as a comment for documentation
purposes. If there is a benefit for UFS2 file systems to have a
seperate partition type under GPT, then this definition should be
restored as that was the intention of the definition.
Currently one cannot load the mem.ko module without panicing if mem is
compiled into the kernel and one cannot build a kernel w/o "device mem"
right now either. Thus it is too dangerous to install mem.ko right now
because if one puts 'mem_load="YES"' in /etc/loader.conf they cannot
boot an "old" kernel (at the time that a kernel doesn't have to be built
with "device mem).
pic_eoi_source() into one call. This halves the number of spinlock operations
and indirect function calls in the normal case of handling a normal (ithread)
interrupt. Optimize the atpic and ioapic drivers to use inlines where
appropriate in supporting the intr_execute_handlers() change.
This knocks 900ns, or roughly 1350 cycles, off of the time spent servicing an
interrupt in the common case on my 1.5GHz P4 uniprocessor system. SMP systems
likely won't see as much of a gain due to the ioapic being more efficient than
the atpic. I'll investigate porting this to amd64 soon.

skip blocks that are too big by a factor of two or greater. This
avoids some cases of extremely inefficient memory use that can occur
when large (e.g. 64k) blocks on the free list get used when allocating
a 4k chunk of 64-byte fragments. Because fragments have their own
free list, the 60k difference got lost forever every time.
system BIOS to disable legacy device emulation as per the "EHCI
Extended Capability: Pre-OS to OS Handoff Synchronisation" section
of the EHCI spec. BIOSes that implement legacy emulation using SMIs
are supposed to disable the emulation when this procedure is performed.
set gp->softc to NULL and return ENXIO when it is NULL, so GEOM
will not panic or hang, but unload one device on every 'unload'.
This make 'unload' command usable, but it have to be executed
<number of devices> + 1 times.
- Made use of 'pp' variable.
so that they know whether the allocation is supposed to be able to sleep
or not.
* Allow uma_zone constructors and initialation functions to return either
success or error. Almost all of the ones in the tree currently return
success unconditionally, but mbuf is a notable exception: the packet
zone constructor wants to be able to fail if it cannot suballocate an
mbuf cluster, and the mbuf allocators want to be able to fail in general
in a MAC kernel if the MAC mbuf initializer fails. This fixes the
panics people are seeing when they run out of memory for mbuf clusters.
* Allow debug.nosleepwithlocks on WITNESS to be disabled, without changing
the default.
Both bmilekic and jeff have reviewed the changes made to make failable
zone allocations work.
