FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the
one remaining call that passwd &time as args.
Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is
the same.
Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

The differences Terrys patch and this patch are:
* Remove a lot of un-needed comments.
* Don't put l_hotchar at the front of stuct linesw, there is no need to.
* Use the #defines for the hotchar in the SLIP and PPP line disciplines
Testing in if_ppp.c is good enough.
Added comments about bogus #includes and #defines.
Removed unused #includes.
Don't depend on gcc's misfeature of rewriting short args in old-style
function definitions to match wrong prototypes. I just changed the
function definition to match the prototype, since this is easy to
verify automatically (it causes no changes in the object code), but
it breaks K&R1 support and doesn't fix the pessimal type.
2.3.0 -> 2.3.1 changes, but I seem to recall that there are certain
"issues" with 2.3.1 (I'm not sure if it's just pppd or the whole lot, I
am not quite that far). The present pppd seems to work with it just fine
for the time being.
Among the changes are that zlib (aka LZ77 aka deflate aka gzip) compression
is implemented as well as the original compress(1) LZW style.
out to be a problem with VJ header compression.
davidg spotted this in usr.sbin/ppp/slcompress.c
a while ago, but I believe gave the wrong reasons -
it's too easy to reproduce ! The only scenario that
I've been able to reproduce the problem under is when
m_len is *exactly* 40 ! So go figure !

Remove previous hack in pppfcs().
This is still not the correct solution. We shouldn't
have any incorrect mbufs. This patch does however make
pppd/natd work (rather than jamming the interface).
interrupt mask hackery wasn't happening when being modloaded via the
if_ppp lkm. It seems that the lkm system doesn't particularly like having
two sets of load/unload/etc routines. :-] This really should be fixed
by having a seperate if_ppp and ppp_tty lkm, but that requires that ppp_tty
is loaded after if_ppp, and needs to be able to link with symbols in
if_ppp. This gets messy, it is a better task for the in-kernel linker.
(if_ppp is generic, ppp_tty is a tty-specific bottom end for if_ppp, it's
not _too_ hard to have another "provider" (such as a hdlc sync card)
connected to if_ppp)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
All new code is "#ifdef PC98"ed so this should make no difference to
PC/AT (and its clones) users.
