to ipfw in https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326233,
a dependency on the SCTP stack was added to ipfw by accident.
This was noted by Kevel Bowling in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13594
where also a solution was suggested. This patch is based on Kevin's
suggestion, but implements the required SCTP checksum computation
without any dependency on other SCTP sources.
While there, do some cleanups and improve comments.
Thanks to Kevin Kevin Browling for reporting the issue and suggesting
a fix.

devmatch(8) matchs up devices in the system device tree with drivers
that may match them. For each unattached device in the system, it
tries to find matching PNP info in the linker hints and prints modules
to load to claim the devices.
In --unbound mode, devmatch can look for drivers that have attached to
devices in the device tree and have plug and play information, but for
which no PNP info exists. This helps find drivers that haven't been
converted yet that are in use on this system.
In addition, the ability to dump out linker.hints is provided.
Future commits will add hooks to devd.conf and rc.d to fully automate
using this information.
This reduces noise when kernel is compiled by newer GCC versions,
such as one used by external toolchain ports.

Both issues caused the page daemon to erroneously go to sleep when
applications are consuming free pages at a high rate, leaving the
application threads blocked in VM_WAIT.
1) After completing an inactive queue scan, concurrent allocations may
have prevented the page daemon from meeting the v_free_min threshold.
In this case, the page daemon was going to sleep even when the
inactive queue contained plenty of clean pages.
2) pagedaemon_wakeup() may be called without the free queues lock held.
This can lead to a lost wakeup if a call occurs after the page daemon
clears vm_pageout_wanted but before going to sleep.
Fix 1) by ensuring that we start a new inactive queue scan immediately
if v_free_count < v_free_min after a prior scan.
Fix 2) by adding a new subroutine, pagedaemon_wait(), called from
vm_wait() and vm_waitpfault(). It wakes up the page daemon if either
vm_pages_needed or vm_pageout_wanted is false, and atomically sleeps
on v_free_count.

Latest clang git has a warning -Wnull-pointer-arithmetic which will
trigger a -Werror failure. Addition and subtraction from a null pointer
is undefined behaviour and could be optimized into anything.
Furthermore, using the difference between two pointers and casting the
result back to a pointer is not portable since the size of ptrdiff_t
does not necessary have to be the same as size of void* (this happens
e.g. on CHERI). Using intptr_t instead fixes this portability issue and
the compiler warning.

it exists: it doesn't depend on ISAPNP. Add PNP ID to orm and vga to
prevent us from warning about them since those devices aren't being
removed from GENERIC. PNP devices will be removed from GENERIC too,
but they will be automatically loaded, so need no warning. We don't
warn for non-GENERIC kernels because people running them are presumed
to know what they are doing.

The daemonfd function is equivalent to the daemon(3) function expect that
arguments are descriptors. For example dhclient(8) which is sandboxed is
unable to open /dev/null to close stdio instead it's allows to fail
daemon(3) function to close the descriptors and then do it explicit in code.
Instead of such hacks we can use now daemonfd.
This API can be also helpful to migrate system to platforms like CheriBSD.

clang does not know that two lookup calls will return the same
pointer, so it assumes correctly that using the old pointer
after dropping the reference to it is a bit risky.
Sometimes caller is only interested in how many clones
are there and NULL pointer is passed for the destination
buffer. Do not pass it to copyout then.
if_clone_attach function will drop the reference on failure which will
free the if_clone structure. No need to do it second time.
