mbpool existed to support NICs with memory interfaces and all remaining
comsumers were removed earlier this year with NATM.

If they are still needed, you can find them in the net/bsdrcmds port.
This was proposed June, 20th and approved by various committers [1].
They have been marked as deprecated on CURRENT in r320644 [2] on July, 4th.
Both stable/11 and release/11.1 contain the deprecation notice (thanks to
allanjude@).
Note that ruptime(1)/rwho(1)/rwhod(8) were initially thought to be part of
rcmds but this was a mistake and those are therefore NOT removed.

It was supposed to provide a recovery mechanism against bugs in procfs's
long deprecated tracing capabilities.
Remove the tool as a prerequisite to axing the kernel side.
The tracing facility to use is ptrace(2).

In base, locales (and encoding) specific directories are not used
by any tool. Just remove them.
While here also remove the cat page directory for openssl
in favor of just rendering the manpage instead of relying on pre-formatted
catpages. Note, this does not impede the ability to use existing catpages,
it just removes the utility to generate them.

- Store the symbol table contents in an anonymous swap-backed object. Have
mmap(/dev/ksyms) map that object, and stop mapping the symbol table into
the calling process in ksyms_open(). Previously we would cache a pointer
to the pmap of the opening process, and mmap(/dev/ksyms) would create a
mapping using the physical address found by a pmap lookup at the initial
mapping address. However, this assumes that the cached pmap is valid,
which may not be the case. [1]
- Remove the ksyms ioctl interface. It appears to have been added to work
around a limitation in libelf that no longer exists; see r321842.
Moreover, the interface is difficult to support and isn't present in
illumos. Since ksyms was added specifically to support lockstat(1), it
is expected that this removal won't have any real impact.
- Simplify ksyms_read() to avoid unnecessary copying.
- Don't call the device handle destructor if we fail to capture a snapshot
of the kernel's symbol table. devfs will do that for us.

The tests are largely symmetric with the tests for chmod(1)--added in r319642.
Remove chown-f_test (added in r268030) since the test coverage is now being
provided by `chown_test`.

All manpages in base are now compatible with mandoc(1), all roff documentation
will be relocated in the doc tree. man(1) can now use groff from the ports tree
if it needs.
Also remove checknr(1) and colcrt(1) which are only useful with groff.

The documentation moved to section 3 several years ago, but
'man cap_rights_get' pulls up cap_rights_limit(2) (which is
MLINKed to cap_rights_get.2) instead of cap_rights_get(3).

In FreeBSD we only use mdoc(7) format. A template is available as mdoc.template
The usage of man(7) format is discouraged and this file was driving people into
the front direction as a template to use.

Those documents will be added to the doc tree and distributed as PDF from
the documentation website. As they are valuable has history, but do not match
current FreeBSD
Further more, the ascii format we were using to distribute them is not really
accurate for such documents.

patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.
