alpha, operations involving non-finite numbers or denormalised numbers
or operations which should generate such numbers will cause an arithmetic
exception. For programs which follow some strict code generation rules,
the kernel trap handler can then 'complete' the operation by emulating
the faulting instruction.
To use software completion, a program must be compiled with the arguments
'-mtrap-precision=i' and '-mfp-trap-mode=su' or '-mfp-trap-mode=sui'.
Programs compiled in this way can use non-finite and denormalised numbers
at the expense of slightly less efficient code generation of floating
point instructions. Programs not compiled with these options will receive
a SIGFPE signal when non-finite or denormalised numbers are used or
generated.

option not defined the sysctl int value is set to -1 and read-only.
#ifdef KERNEL's added appropriately to wall off visibility of kernel
routines from user code.
Add ICMP_BANDLIM option and 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim' sysctl. If option
is specified in kernel config, icmplim defaults to 100 pps. Setting it
to 0 will disable the feature. This feature limits ICMP error responses
for packets sent to bad tcp or udp ports, which does a lot to help the
machine handle network D.O.S. attacks.
The kernel will report packet rates that exceed the limit at a rate of
one kernel printf per second. There is one issue in regards to the
'tail end' of an attack... the kernel will not output the last report
until some unrelated and valid icmp error packet is return at some
point after the attack is over. This is a minor reporting issue only.
Add '-g' main option to cvs to better support shared-group access
to a common checked-out *working* set by multiple users. See manual
page for details.

Tag MCKUSICK2. These are as supplied by kirk with one small
change needed to compile under freeBSD.
Some FreeBSD patches will be added back, though many have been
added to Kirk's sources already.
to the comments in named.conf to describe to the user how to create it.
(named.conf does not use /etc/namedb/s by default anyway so us not
pre-created it in the mtree does not hurt us terribly).
not like the 6-byte read and write commands! It returns illegal request,
with the field pointer pointing to byte 9 of a 6 byte CDB.
In any case, the work around is to put in a quirk mechanism that makes sure
that we don't send 6-byte reads or writes to this device. It's rather sad
that this is necessary. You'd think that they would be able to get
something that basic to work right in their firmware...

problem is worked around by using an interrupt gate for the page
fault handler. This code was originally made for NetBSD/pc98 by
Naofumi Honda <honda@kururu.math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp> and has already
been in PC98 tree. Because of this bug, trap_fatal cannot show
correct page fault address if %cr2 is obtained in this function.
Therefore, trap_fatal uses the value from trap() function.
- The trap handler always enables interruption when buggy application
or kernel code has disabled interrupts and then trapped. This code
was prepared by Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>.

going to want a major number from that list instead. Also use the
same preallocated local range (500-600) for blkdevs as well as cdevs,
just to be orthogonal. The latter was for Brian, who has a *lot*
of local device drivers and needs more than just a single reserved
number.
