straight from NetBSD (except to add the RCS-ID lines for FreeBSD).
These will probably require a few updates before they are added to
the FreeBSD buildworld. I might MFC these to 4.x-stable after 4.10.
Discussed on: freebsd-arch
Obtained from: NetBSD (and OpenBSD also has these)
objects rather than synchronization objects. When a sync object is
signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then
it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state. When a
notification object is signaled, all threads waiting on it will
be woken up, and it remains in the signaled state until someone
resets it manually. We want the latter behavior for NDIS events.
- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary
copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST(). When the PCI
bus code probes resources for a given device, it enters them into
a singly linked list, head first. The result is that traversing
this list gives you the resources in reverse order. This means when
we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too.
Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O
ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one
for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers
test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others
just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from
lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers
will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range.
Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to
make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build
the Windows resource list from that. I suppose we could just fix
the PCI bus code to use a TAILQ instead, but then I'd have to track
down all the consumers of the BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST() and fix them
too.
Compute the payload checksum for a locally originated IP multicast where
God intended, in ip_mloopback(), rather than doing it in ip_output() and
only when multicast router is active. This is more correct as we do not
fool ip_input() that the packet has the correct payload checksum when in
fact it does not (when multicast router is inactive). This is also more
efficient if we don't join the multicast group we send to, thus allowing
the hardware to checksum the payload.
which pulls a job off a thread work queue (assuming it hasn't run yet).
This is needed for KeRemoveQueueDpc().
- In subr_ntoskrnl.c, implement KeInsertQueueDpc() and KeRemoveQueueDpc(),
to go with KeInitializeDpc() to round out the API. Also change the
KeTimer implementation to use this API instead of the private
timer callout scheduler. Functionality of the timer API remains
unchanged, but we get a couple new Windows kernel API routines and
more closely imitate the way thing works in Windows. (As of yet
I haven't encountered any drivers that use KeInsertQueueDpc() or
KeRemoveQueueDpc(), but it doesn't hurt to have them.)
Report the %ecx bits in cpuid function 1. This is a hack.
When reporting AMD Features, only mask off the common bits. Otherwise
the SEP bit masks off SYSCALL etc in the report.
isp(4) fix on sparc64,
ipcs(1) -u option,
rmdir(1) -v flag,
rc.d/diskless split,
rc.d/pf.
Update release note:
MFC of umass(4) timeout/ATAPI MMC support,
items related to the rc.d scripts moved into a separate section.
now run on UP machines, options APIC_IO is now spelled device apic, and
HT CPUs are now enabled by default.
- Add a 'I386 NOTES' section header to the i386-specific paragraphs.
Someone with more mdoc fu can suggest a better name if needed.

option name and paramaters they apply to and there was a mix of
formatting methods and styles.
I'm not sure that the description of "nfs_retransmit_counter" is
correct, but it does now at least match what's in -STABLE.
