execution to a emumation program via parsing of ELF header information.
With this kernel module and userland tool, poudriere is able to build
ports packages via the QEMU userland tools (or another emulator program)
in a different architecture chroot, e.g. TARGET=mips TARGET_ARCH=mips
I'm not connecting this to GENERIC for obvious reasons, but this should
allow the kernel module to be built by default and enable the building
of the userland tool (which automatically loads the kernel module).

from any context i.e., it is not required to be called from a vcpu thread. The
ioctl simply sets a state variable 'vm->suspend' to '1' and returns.
The vcpus inspect 'vm->suspend' in the run loop and if it is set to '1' the
vcpu breaks out of the loop with a reason of 'VM_EXITCODE_SUSPENDED'. The
suspend handler waits until all 'vm->active_cpus' have transitioned to
'vm->suspended_cpus' before returning to userspace.

all the SUBDIR entries in parallel, instead of serially. Apply this
option to a selected number of Makefiles, which can greatly speed up the
build on multi-core machines, when using make -j.
This can be extended to more Makefiles later on, whenever they are
verified to work correctly with parallel building.
I tested this on a 24-core machine, with make -j48 buildworld (N = 6):
before stddev after stddev
======= ====== ======= ======
real time 1741.1 16.5 959.8 2.7
user time 12468.7 16.4 14393.0 16.8
sys time 1825.0 54.8 2110.6 22.8
(user+sys)/real 8.2 17.1
E.g. the build was approximately 45% faster in real time. On machines
with less cores, or with lower -j settings, the speedup will not be as
impressive. But at least you can now almost max out a machine with
buildworld!

The impact of this bug is that you cannot build a kernel if both of the
following are true:
1) The kernel config file is in a non-default location
2) The kernel config file uses the "include" statement from config(5).
usr.sbin/config/main.c
usr.sbin/config/config.8
usr.sbin/config/config.h
usr.sbin/config/lang.l
Added a "-I path" option to config(8). By analogy to cc(1), it adds
an extra path in which the "include" statement will search for
files.
Makefile.inc1
Pass "-I ${KERNCONFDIR}" to config(8).

This change was originally going to only migrate the usr.sbin tests but, as
it turns out, the usr.sbin/sa/ tests require files from usr.bin/lastcomm/
so it's better to just also migrate the latter at the same time. The other
usr.bin tests will be moved separately.
To make these tests work within the test suite, some of them have required
changes to prevent modifying the source directory and instead just rely on
the current directory for file manipulation.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
taking a variable to set need to make sure they protect their locals; if
$var_to_set positional argument coincides with a local the expected call
to `setvar' will fail to reach outside of the function's namespace. When
such collisions are experienced (as I did in the rewrite of usermgmt) the
solution is to append a full or abbreviated version of the function name
to the local (ultimately eliminating collisions). This is rarely needed
and only occurs when you have a lot of like-named functions that pass
very similar $var_to_set positional arguments to each other (such as-is
the case with an expansive library such as `dialog.subr').
