module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
machine arm
device mem
options GEOM_BSD
options GEOM_MBR
Remove the first two from all kernel configuration files and
change geom_bsd and geom_mbr from standard to optional.
don't support the ioapic either, so remove that option too. These
were commented out, but could never be enabled, unlike the other
options in the file that are commented out.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

to detect (or load) kernel NLM support in rpc.lockd. Remove the '-k'
option to rpc.lockd and make kernel NLM the default. A user can still
force the use of the old user NLM by building a kernel without NFSLOCKD
and/or removing the nfslockd.ko module.
While the KSE project was quite successful in bringing threading to
FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the kse library was never developed
to its full potential. Backwards compatibility will be provided via
libmap.conf for dynamically linked binaries and static binaries will
be broken.
After discussion with Sam, switch back to use firmware(9) instead of
having the firmware in hex format.
Put the binary firmware uuencoded into sys/contrib/dev/npe, and slap a
LICENSE file, as found on the Intel website.
