The information here is somewhere between ancient to obsolete.
It refers to a time in the internet's history when manual routing
was still useful, talks about UUCP as if its modern, and refers
to documents which I had trouble tracking down.
It seems unlikely that a manual page in this form would be useful, so
just remove it.

This introduces a facility to EVENTHANDLER(9) for explicitly defining a
reference to an event handler list. This is useful since previously all
invokers of events had to do a locked traversal of the global list of
event handler lists in order to find the appropriate event handler list.
By keeping a pointer to the appropriate list an invoker can avoid this
traversal completely. The pointer is initialized with SYSINIT(9) during
the eventhandler stage. Users registering interest in events do not need
to know if the event is backed by such a list, since the list is added
to the global list of lists. As with lists that are not pre-defined it
is safe to register for the events before the list has been created.
This converts the process_* and thread_* events to using the new
facility, as these are events whose locked traversals end up showing up
significantly in ports build workflows (and presumably other workflows
with many short lived threads/procs). It may be advantageous to convert
other events to using the new facility.
The el_flags field is now unused, but leave it be so that this revision
can be MFC'd.

NO_OBJ has a very specific meaning in sub-directories in that no object
directory will be made. If a user wanted to skip the 'make obj' phase then
passing -DNO_OBJ would break all sub-directories from building properly. Using
NO_OBJ internally also causes issue with NO_OBJ handling being added in
share/mk/bsd.init.mk soon.

fine when a lot of different flows to be ciphered/deciphered are involved.
However, when a software crypto driver is used, there are
situations where we could benefit from making crypto(9) multi threaded:
- a single flow is to be ciphered: only one thread is used to cipher it,
- a single ESP flow is to be deciphered: only one thread is used to
decipher it.
The idea here is to call crypto(9) using a new mode (CRYPTO_F_ASYNC) to
dispatch the crypto jobs on multiple threads, if the underlying crypto
driver is working in synchronous mode.
Another flag is added (CRYPTO_F_ASYNC_KEEPORDER) to make crypto(9)
dispatch the crypto jobs in the order they are received (an additional
queue/thread is used), so that the packets are reinjected in the network
using the same order they were posted.
A new sysctl net.inet.ipsec.async_crypto can be used to activate
this new behavior (disabled by default).

This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>. This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.
The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

Some devices (P5040, P4080) have multiple frame managers in their DPAA
subsystems. This was prevented by use of a softc singleton in the DPAA
driver. Since if_dtsec(4) has moved to be a child of fman, it can access
the fman device data via the parent object.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.
The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

Some BMCs support power cycling the chassis via the chassis control
command 2 subcommand 2 (ipmitool called it 'chassis power cycle'). If
the BMC supports the chassis device, register a shutdown_final handler
that sends the power cycle command if request and waits up to 10s for
it to take effect. To minimize stack strain, we preallocate a ipmi
request in the softc. At the moment, we're verbose about what we're
doing.

When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.
