contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:
More usage of the TAILQ macros. Additional minor fix to queue.h.
Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
has to run immediately.
Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
and not an entire entry.
7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
fork code from vm_glue. Pushed much of that code into
the machine dependent pmap module.
9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
already zeroed.
Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.) The VM code now
seldom uses splhigh.
Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
of objects with backing objects along with the already
existant condition of having a vnode. (If there is a backing
object, there will likely be a COW... With a COW, it isn't
necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.
1) A spelling error pointed out by Paco Hope.
2) A bug in the range checking routing pointed out by Jim Bray.
3) Enables the setting of frames per second.

use sd87a or sd237e even if they start at the beginning of the slice.
You can also use sd85c if you prefer, although you need to change the
type field in the disklabel to "4.2BSD".
unreasonable time. I've got a PCI mainboard that simply doesn't grok
it, so continuing with a warning (and a keyboard that's working
nevertheless :) seems to be better than spin-looping forever.
a BIOS was not installed, this will still be true by the time we probe
the chip. We use this heuristic to determine if we should use the left
over scratch ram target settings for controllers that don't have an
SEEPROM. We also "snapshot" the host adapter SCSI id and whether ultra
is enabled or not and use these values if a BIOS was installed. The card
will act as if a BIOS was installed even if there wasn't one if you warm
reboot, but since the scratch ram area is still valid in this case, its
hardly worth the effort of writing a shutdown routing that clears out
the scratch ram. This should make users of motherboard controllers
happy.
channel B first as approriate.
Only reset the SCSI bus if the RESET_SCSI bit of SCSICONF is set. This
makes the aic7xxx driver honor all of the configuration settings availible
in SCSI-Select or the ECU.
Fix a benign bug in the reset code that caused us to always wait a full
second after the chip reset. This should shave some time off the probe.
Bug found by pedrosal@nce.ufrj.br (Pedro Salenbauch)
It seems that only the top three sync rates are doubled when in ultra mode,
so update the syncrates table as appropriate.
Found by "Dan Willis" <dan@plutotech.com> and his SCSI bus analyzer
channel B first as approriate.
Even if the BIOS is diabled, the ECU will still set the primary channel
bit, SCSI ID, RESET_SCSI bit, and BOFF_TIME, so use them.
Change #ifdef linux to #ifdef __linux__
aic7xxx_reg.h:
Remove unneeded BOFF_60BCLOCKS
define CHIPRSTACK to be the same as CHIPRST
define RESET_SCSI and CHANNEL_B_PRIMARY bits
All of these aer used during the setup of adapters.
(PR #1178).
Define a new SO_TIMESTAMP socket option for datagram sockets to return
packet-arrival timestamps as control information (PR #1179).

boundary, which means that it doesn't mark the start of the data
section (which is then inaccessible to the programmer ??).
Hopefully fixes recent locore reboot problems.
the past, since it returns to the old system of allocating mbufs out of
a private area rather than using the kernel malloc(). While this may seem
like a backwards step to some, the new allocator is some 20% faster than
the old one and has much better caching properties.

config file instead of hard-coding it in the driver. No functional
differences.
This is based on the code Richard Wiwatowski <rjwiwat@adelaide.on.net>
sent to the mailing list.
- Prepend PSM_ to some defines to avoid any possible name-space problems
- Use some already defined constants instead of magic #'s where appropriate.

the destination represents. For IP:
- Iff it is a host route, RTF_LOCAL and RTF_BROADCAST indicate local
(belongs to this host) and broadcast addresses, respectively.
- For all routes, RTF_MULTICAST is set if the destination is multicast.
The RTF_BROADCAST flag is used by ip_output() to eliminate a call to
in_broadcast() in a common case; this gives about 1% in our packet-generation
experiments. All three flags might be used (although they aren't now)
to determine whether a packet can be forwarded; a given host route can
represent a forwardable address if:
(rt->rt_flags & (RTF_HOST | RTF_LOCAL | RTF_BROADCAST | RTF_MULTICAST))
== RTF_HOST
Obviously, one still has to do all the work if a host route is not present,
but this code allows one to cache the results of such a lookup if rtalloc1()
is called without masking RTF_PRCLONING.
it empties all of the 256 byte incoming fifo, as it can spend more time
processing one port than intended, especially if data is streaming in
at 115.2K. The port fifo will be emptied and dumped into the tty system
and left until next time. I've been running this for quite some time on
one of my systems here.
Also, if the tty layer is blocked or full it lets the hardware assert the
flow control rather than loosing the data.
