config(8). This commit allows control of the creation of the
#include "foo.h" files. We now only create them explicitly when needed.
BTW; these are mostly bad because they usually imply static limits on
numbers of units for devices. eg: struct mysoftc sc[NFOO];
These static limits have Got To Go.
Symbol values are now represented using array sizes (4 arrays per symbol
so that 16-bit machines can represent 64-bit values) instead of being raw
binary values.

"options COMPAT_OLDPCI". This option already existed, but now also tidies
up the declarations in #include <pci/pci*.h>. It is amazing how much stuff
was using the old pre-FreeBSD 3.x names and going silently undetected.
for a seperate pc98 version of this stuff. Applying the same changes
from the i386 version yields identical files so remove these and use the
common ones.
Only PCI and on-board ISA peripherials are supported at this time.
This support has been only lightly tested due to a lack of response to my
call for testers on the freebsd-alpha mailing list. It works quite well
on the one AS2100 on which it has been tested, but it may not work on
an AS2100A and should therefore be regarded as experimental.
have pv_entries. This is intended for very special circumstances,
eg: a certain database that has a 1GB shm segment mapped into 300
processes. That would consume 2GB of kvm just to hold the pv_entries
alone. This would not be used on systems unless the physical ram was
available, as it's not pageable.
This is a work-in-progress, but is a useful and functional checkpoint.
Matt has got some more fixes for it that will be committed soon.

1. ${.CURDIR}/modules was a confusing way to spell ${.OBJDIR}/modules
2. ${.CURDIR}/../../modules is a verbose, wrong path to the module sources.
The correct path is $S/modules, since ${.CURDIR} for the kernel may be
in the obj tree but the sources are in the src tree.
3. The `obj' and `all' steps may be combined, as can `obj' and `depend'.

Backup ${DESTDIR}/modules to ${DESTDIR}/modules.old to match the same action
done to the kernel.
from the sys Makefile's SUBDIRs. This is conditioned in make.conf by the
NO_MODULES variable and the existence of the modules directory. The
actual location of the modules is not modified. Changes in Makefiles
only, this does not affect Peter's recent changes.

he had the good idea for the NO_MODULES variable.
are two supported chips, the NetChip 1080 (only prototypes available)
and the EzLink cable. Any other cable should be supported however as they
are all very much alike (there is a difference between them wrt
performance).
It uses Netgraph.
This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.
via the MODULE_VERSION() and MODULE_DEPEND() macros that both the loader
and kld system know how to deal with. The old DT_NEEDED tag is still
supported by the loader (and will remain supported for a while) - but the
kernel side presently doesn't know how to deal with DT_NEEDED.
Remove evil allocation macros from machdep.c (why was that there???) and
use malloc() instead.
Move paramters out of param.h and into the code itself.
Move a bunch of internal definitions from public sys/*.h headers (without
#ifdef _KERNEL even) into the code itself.
I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing
wakeups on all sleeping processes on old arrays was too frightening.
The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.
