This allows subsystems to declare their malloc types locally
and <sys/malloc.h> doesn't need tweaked everytime somebody
gets an idea. You can even have a type local to a lkm...
I don't know if we really need the longdesc, comments welcome.
TODO: There is a single nit in ext2fs, that will be fixed later,
and I intend to remove all unused malloc types and distribute
the rest closer to their use.
now corrected. New tunables/instrumentation added. The code is now
likely "good enough to use." I will add the userland support soon.
The "high performance" mode for raw devices is still missing, and will
be added next. POSIX system calls that now appear to work:
aio_cancel, aio_error, aio_read, aio_return, aio_suspend, aio_write,
lio_listio. Missing, but to be added soon: aio_fsync.
has a PS/2 port, this is a good thing. Note, older 386/486 boxes may
lockup the keyboard controller with this enabled, but most of these kinds
of machines don't run -current, so the benefits outweigh the downsides.

represent in the TCP header. The old code did effectively:
win = min(win, MAX_ALLOWED);
win = max(win, what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time);
so if what_i_think_i_advertised_last_time is bigger than can be
represented in the header (e.g. large buffers and no window scaling)
then we stuff a too-big number into a short. This fix reverses the
order of the comparisons.

Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).
The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

of the system to be rebuilt anyway, this is a good time to introduce
LOG_NTP.
The reasoning for a separate facility is that xntpd can sometimes
cause exaggerative log message at high prioritites which are,
depending on your environment and available clock sources, not
necessarily as important as other LOG_DAEMON messages. However, they
used to clutter log files and system console in the existing setup.
Note that this situation could not be resolved using the !xntpd option
(think about it).
xntpd(8) is supposed to automatically pick up the change, it had
already all necessary #ifdef's.
The chosen value does, as far as my inquiries yielded, not clash with
any other operating system.

When one is selecting (or polling) for write, it helps if we use the
write side of the pipe when requesting wakeups instead of the read side.
This broke ghostview (at least) - I'm suprised it wasn't noticed for

on some machines, and avoids potential problems with built-in serial
ports which tend to live at IRQ 3, which is usually picked with the
old method.
