amount of free memory was close to the point at which we would begin
reclaiming pages. Now, we continuously scan the active page queue,
regardless of the amount of free memory. Consequently, we are continuously
calling pmap_ts_referenced() on active pages.
Prior to this change, pmap_ts_referenced() would always demote superpage
mappings in order to obtain finer-grained reference information. This made
sense because we were coming under memory pressure and would soon have to
begin reclaiming pages. Now, however, with continuous scanning of the
active page queue, these demotions are taking a toll on performance. To
address this problem, I have replaced the demotion with a heuristic for
periodically clearing the reference flag on superpage mappings.

the maximum number of VT-d domains (256 on a Sandybridge). We now allocate a
VT-d domain for a guest only if the administrator has explicitly configured
one or more PCI passthru device(s).
If there are no PCI passthru devices configured (the common case) then the
number of virtual machines is no longer limited by the maximum number of
VT-d domains.

Make OpenSSH use LDNS if available. This allows it to verify signed

There are two different versions of the ARM ABI depending on the
TARGET_ARCH. As these are sligntly different a package built for
one may not work on another. We need to detect which one we are on
by parsing the .ARM.attributes section.
This will only work on the ARM EABI as this section is part of the
ABI definition. As armv6 only supports the ARM EABI this is not a
problem for the oabi.
Older versions of libelf in FreeBSD fail to read the
.ARM.attributes section needed. As armv6 is unsupported on these
versions we can assume we are running on arm.

have the same semantics as the same flag on Linux.
To facilitate this, add a new parameter to vm_map_find() that specifies an
optional maximum virtual address. While here, fix several callers of
vm_map_find() to use a VMFS_* constant for the findspace argument instead of
TRUE and FALSE.

alias it to the contents of the output property if it is defined. This
avoids a panic when booting machines (QEMU) where the output-device
property is not defined.
Since output-device is free-form and potentially conflicts with other
entries in /dev, I also am not sure we should be doing the aliasing at
all, but this at least makes things work again.
