artificial power-of-2 rounded number to their real values specified
in RFC879 and RFC2460.
From the history and existing comments it appears that the rounded
numbers were intended to be advantageous for the kernel and mbuf
system. However this hasn't been the case at for at least a long
time. The mbuf clusters used in tcp_output() have enough space
to hold the larger real value for the default MSS for both IPv4 and
IPv6. Note that the default MSS is only used when path MTU discovery
is disabled.

Otherwise, adding insult to injury, in addition to double-caching of data
we would always copy the data into a vnode's vm object page from backend.
This is specific to sendfile case only (VOP_READ with UIO_NOCOPY).

The workaround was incorrectly documented as having something to do with
set_pcpu section's progbits, but in fact it was for incorrect placement
of __start_set_pcpu because of the bug in ld.
The bug was fixed in r210245, see commit message for details.
A side-effect of the workaround was that a zero-size set_pcpu section was
produced for modules, source code of which included pcpu.h but didn't
actually define any dynamic per-cpu variables.
This commit should remove the side-effect.
The same workaround is present sys/net/vnet.h, has an analogous side-effect
and can be removed as well.
An UPDATING entry that warns about a need for recent ld is following.

use of bogus parameters for DMA tag creation) is not fatal, it just means
that no additional DVMA space will be preallocated.

requirement, scheduling sleeps on first CPU for no more then specified
period. Allow other CPUs to sleep up to 1/4 second (for any case).
Do not explicitly enable interrupts in smp_init_secondary() because it
renders any spinlock protected code after that point to run with
interrupts enabled. This is because the processor is executing in the
context of idlethread whose 'md_spinlock_count' is already set to 1.
Instead just let sched_throw() re-enable interrupts when it releases
the spinlock.

The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively. When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table. If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.
The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO.
