Patch attached. The ellipsis causes gcc to flag this as a varargs function,
and the name "__builtin_va_alist" is special cased in gcc to hide the last
argument in the arglist.

The PS/2 mouse device responds to a reset command with a sequence of
ACK(fa), RESULT(aa) and ID(00). Most PS/2 mice immediately returns
ACK, but spend sometime before sending RESULT. The Armada takes time
before ACK; extra delay is necessary before the call to read ACK.
The problem was reported in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and the patch
was tested by the reporter. No PR was filed, by the way.
read-mode access to CD-ROM media in the worm(4) driver. No whistles
and bells yet, like all the CDIO* commands, but at least a start.
In order to do this, i had to slightly rearrange the semantics of an
open(2) on the worm driver: now, opening it with O_NONBLOCK set means
no actual IO operations will be intended but only ioctls are to be
processed. This mode is used by wormcontrol(8) to prepare a track
and/or session.
I have only been able to test this on a 2.2-GAMMA system by now, and
only the !DEVFS part is tested yet. Also, i have only done a dummy
burn so far, but wouldn't expect many surprises else. Report bugs to
me ASAP, if there's reasonable demand and i hear no objections, i
might consider merging it into the 2.2 branch as well.
everything that depends on this needs to be doc as well. Maybe they
doc tools should be split out into a separate distribution, but until
that decision is made, at least keep them together.
affect programs that sit on top of divert(4) sockets. The
multicast routing code already unconditionally zeros the sum
before recalculating.
Any code that unconditionaly sums a packet without first zeroing
the sum (assuming that it's already zero'd) will break. No such
code seems to exist.
