0050f9ec3c Stop using ntpdate(1) in our startup proceedure. Replace ntpdate(1) with
calls to ntpd -g.  ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more
accurate.  This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse
out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config
file).  By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers.  To
turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be
added to /etc/rc.conf.  If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is
not synced on startup.  ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd
authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

e5dc5f61fb Expand the 4.x -> current updating section. Update to show how to use
make kernel.  Update the compatibility slice section.  Note about
updating devices in the kernel config file.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX changes
and mention the port alternative to COMPAT4X=yes.  Fix copyright.

This should be MFC'd.

4ff62bd97b Back out ifi_epoch. The ABI breakage is too disruptive this close to
5-STABLE. ifi_epoch will shortly be reintroduced with less precistion
using the space currently allocated to ifi_unused.

1fc4519b1d Add a new variable, ifi_epoch, to struct if_data. It is set to the last
time the interface counters were zeroed, currently the time if_attach()
was called.  It is indentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime and to make it easier for applications to
verify that the interface they find at a given index is the one that was
there last time they looked.

An if_epoch "compatability" macro has not been created as ifi_epoch has
never been a member of struct ifnet.

c21fd23260 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

cd5f061c20 Add a blanket note about 5.x being the same as 6.0 and vice versa for
the time being.  Also add a note that says we are going to remove the
band-aides for 4.early -> 6.0 after 5.3-RELEASE so people get used to
the idea, even though it has been planned since before 5.0 was
released.

15eb1e8b45 Ports related rc.d cleanups:
o Separate out local (ports) scripts that use rc.d, and the old style
  startup/shutdown scripts and execute them separately. On startup the
  rc.d style scripts are executed first and then the old-style scripts.
  On shutdown, exactly the reverse happens.
o The rc.d ports scripts should now behave more like base system scripts.
  Scripts ending in .sh will be sourced into the current shell, while the
  rest will be executed in a subshell. Previously, all ports scripts,
  regardless of the .sh suffix, were executed in a subshell.
o The parent script, /etc/rc.d/localpkg, passes its command line arguments
  straight to the rc.d ports scripts. This means they should now honor
  faststop and faststart commands as well. Old style scripts, should not see
  any differences. They will still get either a start or stop command.
o The initial phrase shown during shutdown has been changed to use
  "local packages" instead of "daemon processes" to be more inline with the
  phrase used during local package startup. The phrases are also used only for
  old-style ports script startup/shutdown, whereas previously they were being
  used for both rc.d and old-style scripts. This should make startup/shutdown
  output a bit less ugly.

4717d22a7c Change the return value of sema_timedwait() so it returns 0 on
success and a proper errno value on failure.  This makes it
consistent with cv_timedwait(), and paves the way for the
introduction of functions such as sema_timedwait_sig() which can
fail in multiple ways.
