Passing a count of zero on i386 and amd64 for [I386|AMD64]_BUS_SPACE_MEM
causes a crash/hang since the 'loop' instruction decrements the counter
before checking if it's zero.

unreasonable behaviour for filesystem, and should not be mentioned
in the description of VFS primitives.

media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists
of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers
altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead;
even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically
it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media
types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense
to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is
auto-detected.
This was removed in 2001 but I think it is appropriate to add it back:
* I do not want to encourage people to write fragile and non-portable echo
commands by making printf much slower than echo.
* Recent versions of Autoconf use it a lot.
* Almost no software still wants to support systems that do not have
printf(1) at all.
* In many other shells printf is already a builtin.
Side effect: printf is now always the builtin version (which behaves
identically to /usr/bin/printf) and cannot be overridden via PATH (except
via the undocumented %builtin mechanism).
Code size increases about 5K on i386. Embedded folks might want to replace
/usr/bin/printf with a hard link to /usr/bin/alias.
.mk file so they can be reused.
Introduce a new option, CRUNCH_BUILDTOOLS, which lists the binaries that
require tools built in the local architecture. sh and csh both require this.
It was previously hardcoded in rescue/rescue/Makefile .
Introduce a new option, CRUNCH_SHLIBS, which lists the shared libraries
to link against. These override the static libraries listed in CRUNCH_LIBS.
Some build environments may wish to use a handful of shared libraries
(eg libc.so) so other small, dynamic binaries can be run in the environment.
Remove the now-shared code from rescue/rescue/Makefile and introduce the
CRUNCH_BUILDTOOLS option for the above shells.
group on a object has less permissions that everyone). These
permissions will not work reliably over NFS if you have more than
14 supplemental groups and are usually not what you mean.

and updated comments in the usb_quirk.h header file.
The main purpose of this is to expose the quirks for ejecting 3G
modules. usb_modeswitch in Linux does a great job of collecting
information on these, and with the quirks module people can try out the
modeswitch config file entries on FreeBSD, hence the SCSI strings in the
man page.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
