See the comments for more detailed description of the algorithm.
The pager is used unconditionally when the block size of the
underlying device is larger than the machine page size, since local
vnode pager cannot handle the configuration [1]. Otherwise, the
vfs.ffs.use_buf_pager sysctl allows to switch to the local pager.
Measurements demonstrated no regression in the ever-important
buildworld benchmark, and small (~5%) throughput improvements in the
special microbenchmark configuration for dbench over swap-backed
md(4).
Code can be generalized and reused for other filesystems which use
buffer cache.

This is a very simple addition to the net80211 scan support.
It doesn't implement a replacement scan interface - it just disables
the pieces that we should disable to make this lifecycle a bit
more managable.
There's more work to come before full scan offload support is available
but it should be good enough for driver work.
* add a flag to say "full offload"
* don't do probe requests when scanning full-offload - firmware can do that
* don't do powersave transitions and buffering - firmware can do that
tested:
* iwm(4) - STA mode
* ath10k port (local, not in freebsd-head yet)

Static variables aren't MP-safe, and this was causing bizarre segfaults on a
dual-core e500v2 system (P1022).
Still left is one static variable, which should be moved into the pcb instead,
but as illegal instructions haven't been hit yet, it's lower priority.

Policy for FreeBSD/arm64 kernel config is the same one as for x86
architectures: provide GENERIC kernel bootable on as many systems
as possible. Since there is no SMP support for RPi 3 yet new kernel
config was introduced: GENERIC-UP, which is effectively GENERIC with
SMP option disabled
C99 allows array function parameters to use the static keyword for their
sizes. This tells the compiler that the parameter will have at least the
specified size, and calling code will fail to compile if that guarantee is
not met. However, this syntax is not legal in C++.
This commit reverts r300824, which worked around the problem for
sys/sys/md5.h only, and introduces a new macro: min_size(). min_size(x) can
be used in headers as a static array size, but will still compile in C++
mode.

As part of an effort to extend Book-E to the 64-bit world, make the necessary
changes to the DPAA/dTSEC driver set to be integer-pointer conversion clean.
This means no more casts to int, and use uintptr_t where needed.
Since the NCSW source is effectively obsolete, direct changes to the source tree
are safe.
All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

Previously pass driver just ignored the flag, making random kernel code
access user-space pointer, sometime causing crashes even for correctly

In r10905 and r10906 makesyscalls was modified to avoid emitting a
literal $Id$ string in the generated file, with:
gsub("[$]Id: ", "", $0)
gsub(" [$]", "", $0)
Then r11294 added some functionality and also tried to address the $Id$
problem in a different way, by removing every $:
sed -e 's/\$//g ...
This rendered the gsub infeffective. The gsub was later updated to
track the $Id$ -> $FreeBSD$ switch, even though it did not do anything.
Revert the addition of the s/\$//g, and update the gsub to keep the
resulting format the same.

When detaching device trees parent devices must be detached prior to
detaching its children. This is because parent devices can have
pointers to the child devices in their softcs which are not
invalidated by device_delete_child(). This can cause use after free
issues and panic().
Device drivers implementing trees, must ensure its detach function
detaches or deletes all its children before returning.
While at it remove now redundant device_detach() calls before
device_delete_child() and device_delete_children(), mostly in
the USB controller drivers.
