in_ifaddrhashtbl in in_ifinit because error handler in in_control removes
entries only for AF_INET addresses. If in_ifinit is called for the cloned
inteface that has just been created its address family is not AF_INET and
therefor LIST_REMOVE is not called for respective LIST_INSERT_HEAD and
freed entries remain in in_ifaddrhashtbl and lead to memory corruption.

locked and unlocked completely in userland. by locking and unlocking mutex
in userland, it reduces the total time a mutex is locked by a thread,
in some application code, a mutex only protects a small piece of code, the
code's execution time is less than a simple system call, if a lock contention
happens, however in current implemenation, the lock holder has to extend its
locking time and enter kernel to unlock it, the change avoids this disadvantage,
it first sets mutex to free state and then enters kernel and wake one waiter
up. This improves performance dramatically in some sysbench mutex tests.

- Rework the watchdog timer to match other NIC drivers:
- Start a timer in fe_init() that runs once a second and checks a counter
in the softc that is identical to the deprecated 'if_timer'.
- Just adjust the softc tx timeout value when sending packets instead of
scheduling the timer.
- Use IFQ_SET_MAXLEN().

FIFO, as required by SUSv3. No specific privilege check is performed
in this case, as FIFOs may be created by unprivileged processes
(subject to the normal file system name space restrictions that may be
in place).
Unlike the Apple implementation, we reject requests to create a FIFO
using mknod(2) if there is a non-zero dev argument to the system call,
which is permitted by the Open Group specification ("... undefined
..."). We might want to revise this if we find it causes
compatibility problems for applications in practice.

some time now so collapse calls accordingly.
o Given that gem_load_txmbuf() is allowed to fail resulting in a packet
drop also for quite some time now implement the functionality of
gem_txcksum() by means of m_pullup(9), which de-obfuscates the code
and allows to always retrieve the correct length of the IP header.
o Add missing BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD when syncing the control DMA maps in
gem_rint() and gem_start_locked().
o Correct some bus_barrier(9) calls to do a read/write barrier as we
do a read after a write. Add some missing ones in gem_mii_readreg()
and gem_mii_writereg().
o According to the Apple GMAC driver, the GEM ASIC specification and
the OpenSolaris eri(7D) the TX FIFO threshold has to be set to 0x4ff
for the Gigabit variants and 0x100 for the ERI in order do avoid TX
underruns.
o In gem_init_locked():
- be conservative and enable the RX and TX MACs,
- don't clear GEM_LINK otherwise we don't ever mark the link as up
again if gem_init_locked() is called from gem_watchdog(),
- remove superfluous setting of sc_ifflags.
o Don't bother to check whether the interface is running or whether its
queue is empty before calling gem_start_locked() in gem_tint(), the
former will check these anyway.
o Call gem_start_locked() in gem_watchdog() in order to try to get
some more packets going.
o In gem_mii_writereg() after reseting the PCS restore its configuration.

libi386's time(), caused by a qemu bug. The bug might
be present in other BIOSes, too.
qemu either does not simulate the AT RTC correctly or
has a broken BIOS 1A/02 implementation, and will return
an incorrect value if the RTC is read while it is being
updated.
The effect is worsened by the fact that qemu's INT 15/86
function ("wait" a.k.a. usleep) is non-implmeneted or
broken and returns immediately, causing beastie.4th to
spin in a tight loop calling the "read RTC" function
millions of times, triggering the problem quickly.
Therefore, we keep reading the BIOS value until we get
the same result twice. This change fixes beastie.4th's
countdown under qemu.

sgtty was the original interface to configure terminal attributes on my
UNIX-like operating systems. It has been deprecated by the POSIX termios
interface, which is implemented in almost any modern system.
An advantage of turning this into a binary compatibility interface, is
that we can now eventually remove the COMPAT_43TTY switch from kernel
configurations. This removes many ioctl()'s from the TTY layer.
While there, increase the __FreeBSD_version, which may be useful for the
people working on the Ports tree.
