sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
o Implement front-end request coalescing. This greatly improves the
performance of front-end clients that are unaware of the dynamic
request-size/number of requests negotiation available in the
FreeBSD backend driver. This required a large restructuring
in how this driver records in-flight transactions and how those
transactions are mapped into kernel KVA. For example, the driver
now includes a mini "KVA manager" that allocates ranges of
contiguous KVA to patches of requests that are physically
contiguous in the backing store so that a single bio or UIO
segment can be used to represent the I/O.
o Refuse to open any backend files or devices if the system
has yet to mount root. This avoids a panic.
o Properly handle "onlined" devices. An "onlined" backend
device stays attached to its backing store across front-end
disconnections. This feature is intended to reduce latency
when a front-end does a hand-off to another driver (e.g.
PV aware bootloader to OS kernel) or during a VM reboot.
o Harden the driver against a pathological/buggy front-end
by carefully vetting front-end XenStore data such as the
front-end state.
o Add sysctls that report the negotiated number of
segments per-request and the number of requests that
can be concurrently in flight.

The goal of these changes is to insure that all state transitions
can be detected regardless of their source and to allow common
device policies (e.g. "onlined" backend devices) to be centralized
in the XenBus bus code.
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusvar.h:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbus.c:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbus_if.m:
Add a new method for XenBus drivers "localend_changed".
This method is invoked whenever a write is detected to
a device's XenBus tree. The default implementation of
this method is a no-op.
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbus_if.m:
sys/dev/xen/netfront/netfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
Change the signature of the "otherend_changed" method.
This notification cannot fail, so it should return void.
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_back.c:
Add "online" device handling to the XenBus Back Bus
support code. An online backend device remains active
after a front-end detaches as a reconnect is expected
to occur in the near future.
sys/xen/interface/io/xenbus.h:
Add comment block further explaining the meaning and
driver responsibilities associated with the XenBus
Closed state.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_back.c:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_front.c:
sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_if.m:
o Register a XenStore watch against the local XenBus tree
for all devices.
o Cache the string length of the path to our local tree.
o Allow the xenbus front and back drivers to hook/filter both
local and otherend watch processing.
o Update the device ivar version of "state" when we detect
a XenStore update of that node.

Allow clients of the XenStore watch mechanism to attach
a single uintptr_t worth of client data to the watch.
This removes the need to carefully place client watch
data within enclosing objects so that a cast or offsetof
calculation can be used to convert from watch to enclosing
object.

of just setting it to the first registered device, reevaluate it for each
device registered, trying to choose best candidate, unless one was forced.
For now use such preference order: play&rec, play, rec.
As side effect, this should workaround the situation when HDMI audio output
of the video card, usually not connected to anything, becomes default, that
requires manual user intervention to make sound working. If at some point
this won't be enough, we can try to fetch some additional priority flags
from the device driver.
For the AR5211/AR5212, this is apparently a one byte pulse duration
counter value. It is only coded up here for the AR5212 as I don't have
any AR5211-series hardware to test it on.
This information was extracted from the Madwifi DFS branch along with
some local additions.
Please note - all this does is extract out the radar event duration,
it in no way reflects the presence of a radar. Further code is needed
to take a set of radar events and filter them to extract out correct
radar pulse trains (and ignore other events.)

points are fixed addresses and (U)EFI CSM specification also mandated that.
Unfortunately, (U)EFI CSM specification does not specifically mention this
is to call service routine via interrupt vector table or to jump directly
to the entry point. As a result, some CSM seems to install two routines
and acts differently, depending on how it was executed, unfortunately.
When INT 15h is used, it calls a function pointer (which is probably a UEFI
service function). When it jumps directly to the entry point, it executes
a simple and traditional INT 15h service routine. Therefore, actually there
are two possible fixes, i. e., this fix or jumping directly to the fixed
entry point. However, we chose this fix because a) keyboard typematic
support via BIOS is becoming extremely rarer and b) we cannot support random
service routine installed by a firmware or a boot loader. This should fix

This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation!
It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future
development of the DFS radar detection code.
Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery,
all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured
and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.
The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default;
it doesn't require a device line.
This commit:
* Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state -
sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/;
* Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything;
(ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment);
* Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events
and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether
a radar has been detected.

Please note - this doesn't in any way constitute a full DFS
implementation, it merely adds the relevant capability bits and
radar detection threshold register access.
The particulars:
* Add new capability bits outlining what the DFS capabilities
are of the various chipsets.
* Add HAL methods to set and get the radar related register values.
* Add AR5212 and AR5416+ DFS radar related register value
routines.
* Add a missing HAL phy error code that's related to radar event
processing.
* Add HAL_PHYERR_PARAM, a data type that encapsulates the radar
register values.
The AR5212 routines are just for completeness. The AR5416 routines
are a super-set of those; I may later on do a drive-by pass to
tidy up duplicate code.
