command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.
Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).
The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.
The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.

- Add some now needed include files to various C-files.
into the MSI-X table before using it to calculate the table index.
In the common case where the MSI-X table is located at the begining of the
BAR these two offsets are identical and thus the code was working by accident.
This change will fix the case where the MSI-X table is located in the middle
or at the end of the BAR that contains it.

Only look for boostrap useful options:
- PACKAGESITE
- ABI
- MIRROR_TYPE
- ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES
While here makes PACKAGESITE expand the ${ABI} variable.
Allow to deactivate any SRV record look up (MIRROR_TYPE=none)
Use the same mechanism as for pkgng itself: first get configuration out of
environment variable and fallback on pkg.conf if exists.

This seems prudent to do in its own right but it also opens up the possibility
of not having to mmap the entire guest address space in the 'bhyve' process

The following support was added to watchdog(4):
- Support to query the outstanding timeout.
- Support to set a software pre-timeout function watchdog with an 'action'
- Support to set a software only watchdog with a configurable 'action'
'action' can be a mask specifying a single operation or a combination of:
log(9), printf(9), panic(9) and/or kdb_enter(9).
Support the following in watchdogged:
- Support to utilize the new additions to watchdog(4).
- Support to warn if a watchdog script runs for too long.
- Support for "dry run" where we do not actually arm the watchdog,
but only report on our timing.

accessing files from various types of media nice and abstracted away from
the wet-work involved in preparing, validating, and initializing those
types of media. This will be used for the package management system module
and other modules that need access to files and want to allow the user to
decide where those files come from (either in a scripted fashion, prompted
fashion, or any combination thereof).
Heavily inspired by sysinstall and even uses the same reserved words so
that scripts are portable. Coded over months, tested continuously through-
out, and reviewed several times.
Some notes about the changes:
- Move network-setting acquisition/validation routines to media/tcpip.subr
- The options screen from sysinstall has been converted to a dialog menu
- The "UFS" media choice is renamed to "Directory" to reflect how sysinstall
treats the choice and a new [true] "UFS" media choice has been added that
acts on real UFS partitions (such as external disks with disklabels).
- Many more help files have been resurrected from sysinstall (I noticed that
some of the content seems a bit dated; I gave them a once-over but they
could really use an update).
- A total of 10 media choices are presented (via mediaGetType) including:
CD/DVD, FTP, FTP Passive, HTTP Proxy, Directory, NFS, DOS, UFS, Floppy, USB
- Novel struct/device management layer for managing the issue of passing
more information than can comfortably fit in an argument list.
These set of ranges will be looked at if a standard memory
range isn't found, and won't be installed in the cache.
Use this to implement the memory behaviour of the PCI hole on
x86 systems, where writes are ignored and reads always return -1.
This allows breakpoints to be set when issuing a 'boot -d', which
has the side effect of accessing the PCI hole when changing the
PTE protection on kernel code, since the pmap layer hasn't been
initialized (a bug, but present in existing FreeBSD releases so
has to be handled).

- When nfsdcnt is set, it dictates all values;
- Otherwise, nfsdargs.minthreads is set to user specified value, or the
automatically detected value if there is no one specified;
nfsdargs.maxthreads is set to the user specified value, or the value
of nfsdargs.minthreads if there is no one specified; when it is smaller
than nfsdargs.minthreads, the latter's value is always used.

Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.
The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().
Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.
