ba66454b69 Capitalize the last two entries. Note that i8254 is a timer. Report
that TSC is for any fifth-gneration of later x86 processor, not an
i586, and document that it _is_ available to applications.

e87631b976 Update the Tigon driver to support 1000baseTX gigE over copper AceNIC
cards. This basically involves switching to the 12.4.13 firmware, plus
a couple of minor tweaks to the driver.

Also changed the jumbo buffer allocation scheme just a little to avoid
'failed to allocate jumbo buffer' conditions in certain cases.

a5213f145a Add the tap driver.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.

This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

bd3cdc3105 These patches implement dynamic sysctls. It's possible now to add
and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.

Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.

Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.

This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them:  Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.
