allocator with UMA backed jumbo allocator by default. Previously
ti(4) used sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers but it was broken
at this moment such that enabling jumbo frame caused instant panic.
Due to the nature of sf_buf(9) it heavily relies on VM changes but
it seems ti(4) was not received much blessing from VM gurus. I
don't understand VM magic and implications used in driver either.
Switching to UMA backed jumbo allocator like other network drivers
will make jumbo frame work on ti(4).
While I'm here, fully allocate all RX buffers. This means ti(4) now
uses 512 RX buffer and 1024 mini RX buffers.
To use sf_buf(9) interface for jumbo buffers, introduce a new
'options TI_SF_BUF_JUMBO'. If it is proven that sf_buf(9) is better
for jumbo buffers, interesting developers can fix the issue in
future.
ti(4) still needs more bus_dma(9) cleanups and should use separate
DMA tag/map for each ring(standard, jumbo, mini, command, event
etc) but it should work on all platforms except PAE.

The option allows to mount non-MPSAFE filesystem. Without it, the

previously also supported the AMD Am53C974, unlike esp(4) is no longer

take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of
the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left
unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just
for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is
useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an
index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the
same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4),
tl(4) and xl(4).
- Sprinkle some const.

drivers that only ever attach to a particular MAC driver, i.e. inphy(4),
ruephy(4) and xlphy(4), to the directory where the respective MAC driver
lives and only compile it into the kernel when the latter is also there,
also removing it from miibus.ko and moving it into the module of the
respective MAC driver.
- While at it, rename exphy.c, which comes from NetBSD where the MAC driver
it corresponds to also is named ex(4) instead of xl(4) but that in FreeBSD
actually identifies itself as xlphy(4), and its function names accordingly
for consistency.

- Improves the informations outputed: right now, there is no track of

A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.
New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.
When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.
This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.

This is done per request/suggestion from John Baldwin
who introduced the option. Trying to resume normal
system operation after a panic is very unpredictable
and dangerous. It will become even more dangerous
when we allow a thread in panic(9) to penetrate all
lock contexts.
I understand that the only purpose of this option was
for testing scenarios potentially resulting in panic.

Also, change opt_capabilities.h to opt_capsicum.h; for now, this will

o Setting td_intr_frame to the XIVs trap frame because it's referenced
by the ET event handler.
o Signal EOI to the CPU before calling the registered XIV handlers.
This prevents lost ITC interrupts, which cause starvation in one-shot
mode.
o Adding support for IPI_HARDCLOCK with corresponding per-CPU counters.
o Have the APs call cpu_initclocks() so as to limited the scattering of
clock related initialization. cpu_initclocks() calls the <self>_bsp()
or <self>_ap() version accordingly.
o Uncomment the ET clock handling in cpu_idle().
o Update the DDB 'show pcpu' output for the new MD fields.
o Entirely rewritten ia64_ih_clock(). Note that we don't create as many
clock XIVs as we have CPUs, as is done on PowerPC. It doesn't scale.
We can only have 240 XIVs and we can have more CPUs than that. There's
a single intrcnt index for the cumulative clock ticks and we keep per
CPU counts in the PCPU stats structure.
o Register the ITC by hooking SI_SUB_CONFIGURE (2nd order).
Open issues:
o Clock interrupts can still be lost. Some tweaking is still necessary.
