- Adjust beginning / end of DST in Bangladesh (minimal impact)
- Fiji ends DST one month earlier to last Sunday of March
- Samoa changes
- Chile extends DST until 3 April this year.
framebuffer driver, etc. work on FreeBSD/amd64.
A significant amount of improvements were done by jkim@ during the recent
months to make vesa(4) work better, over the initial code import. This
work is based on OpenBSD's x86emu implementation and contributed by
paradox <ddkprog yahoo com> and swell.k at gmail com.
Hopefully I have stolen all their work to 8-STABLE :)
All bugs in this commit are mine, as usual.

Mexico's House of Representatives has approved a proposal for
northern Mexico's border cities to share the same daylight saving
schedule as the United States.
Introduce the new kernel thread called "deadlock resolver".
It is used in order to seek within the threads state and heuristically
understand if there is any deadlock happening.
In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq
rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

Add a facility for associating optional descriptions with active interrupt
handlers. This is primarily intended as a way to allow devices that use
multiple interrupts (e.g. MSI) to meaningfully distinguish the various
interrupt handlers.
- Add a new BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method to the bus interface to associate
a description with an active interrupt handler setup by BUS_SETUP_INTR.
It has a default method (bus_generic_describe_intr()) which simply passes
the request up to the parent device.
- Add a bus_describe_intr() wrapper around BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() that supports
printf(9) style formatting using var args.
- Reserve MAXCOMLEN bytes in the intr_handler structure to hold the name of
an interrupt handler and copy the name passed to intr_event_add_handler()
into that buffer instead of just saving the pointer to the name.
- Add a new intr_event_describe_handler() which appends a description string
to an interrupt handler's name.
- Implement support for interrupt descriptions on amd64, i386, and sparc64 by
having the nexus(4) driver supply a custom bus_describe_intr method that
invokes a new intr_describe() MD routine which in turn looks up the
associated interrupt event and invokes intr_event_describe_handler().

- Note that if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit are usually initialized via
if_initname().
- Document if_drv_flags and replace references to IFF_(RUNNING|OACTIVE)
with references to IFF_DRV_(RUNNING|OACTIVE).
- Complete truncated sentence in the description of if_transmit by copying
from the description in if_qflush.
- Add missing line breaks for translators.
- Update required headers for namei() to add <sys/fcntl.h> and remove
<sys/proc.h>.
- Add RETURN VALUES and ERROR sections for namei()'s error return values.
- Add a missing link to NDHASGIANT.9.
In current code, threads performing an interruptible sleep
will leave the waiters flag on forcing the owner to do a wakeup even
when the waiter queue is empty.
That operation may lead to a deadlock in the case of doing a fake wakeup
on the "preferred" queue while the other queue has real waiters on it,
because nobody is going to wakeup the 2nd queue waiters and they will
sleep indefinitively.
A similar bug, is present, for lockmgr in the case the waiters are
sleeping with LK_SLEEPFAIL on.
Add a sleepqueue interface which does report the actual number of waiters
on a specified queue of a waitchannel and track if at least one sleepfail
waiter is present or not. In presence of this or empty "preferred" queue,
wakeup both waiters queues.

Add a driver by Fredrik Lindberg for Option HSDPA USB devices. These differ

Add support for configuring vlan(4) interfaces as child devices similar to
wlan(4) interfaces. vlan(4) interfaces are listed via a new 'vlans_<IF>'
variable. If a vlan interface is a number, then that number is treated as
the vlan tag for the interface and the interface will be named '<IF>.<tag>'.
Otherwise, the vlan tag must be provided via a vlan parameter in a
'create_args_<vlan>' variable.
While I'm here, fix a few nits in rc.conf(5) and mention create_args_<IF> in
the description of cloned_interfaces.
