makerom checksum check calculation was a no-op
nb8390.c had a bug which caused packet_len to be incorrect
for packets which wrapped in the buffer.

makes MADV_SEQUENTIAL much more effective. I suggest that
we start using MADV_SEQUENTIAL on system utilities that mmap
their input files, and the I/O is predominantely sequential.
Below is a test with 'cmp' on two relatively large binary files,
where the files are so large that the caching is ineffective:
+ ls -l t1.xxx t2.xxx
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 65598384 Dec 10 12:13 t1.xxx
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 65598384 Dec 10 12:14 t2.xxx
+ time cmp t1.xxx t2.xxx
3.78user 0.70system 1:33.43elapsed 4%CPU
+ time cmpmadv t1.xxx t2.xxx
4.21user 1.05system 0:30.93elapsed 17%CPU
This change is as a result of an observation made by BDE.
partition is 0, which is outside the slice unless the disk is
dangerously dedicated. There is little error checking later, and
following garbage metadata outside the slice usually caused crashes,
Empty 'a' partitions are fairly easy to create by cloning the label
for the whole disk.
Fixed a missing newline in a related error message.
type to be int so that errors can be returned.
2) Use the new SIOCSIFMTU ether_ioctl support in the few drivers that are
using ether_ioctl().
3) In if_fxp.c: treat if_bpf as a token, not as a pointer. Don't bother
testing for FXP_NTXSEG being reached in fxp_start()...just check for
non-NULL 'm'. Change fxp_ioctl() to use ether_ioctl().
ACTUALLY_LKM_NOT_KERNEL until the real fix comes through. Whatever
flag that is used to indicate building LKMs will have be be substituted
in the future. This allows proper selection of the usage of the
efficient, single instruction in the kernel, but alas, doesn't allow
for use in userland or LKMs :-(. Them's the breaks!!!
with one of the following (I486_CPU,I586_CPU,I686_CPU) so it can take
advantage of the very quick bswap insn. This keeps LKMs from being
built to take advantage of the insn, but also makes sure that the LKMs
can be run on all CPUs. (The LKMs don't pick up the CPU options :-( ).
that map entries are coalesced when appropriate. Also, conditionalize
some code that is currently not used in vm_map_insert. This mod
has been added to eliminate unnecessary map entries in buffer map.
Additionally, there were some cases where map coalescing could be done
when it shouldn't. That problem has been resolved.
modules sort of works now. Their devswitch entries aren't cleaned
up, so accessing them after they have been unloaded causes a panic
in spec_open().

line with BSD/OS and Linux's username limits, making transitioning from
either operating system a lot easier than it is now. I'm currently
running with this change on my system, as are several others, and have
experienced no ill effects.
This is not for 2.2! This needs to get shaken out longer term in 3.0.

to miss reselections from some devices and since the reselection response
timeout is only 200ns, enabling reselections too late may be the cause of our
problem.
function ed_attach_NE2000_pci() in if_ed.c passes
an uninitialized block of memory (got with malloc())
to ed_attach. This prevents a proper initialization
of the device descriptor and in my case causes a panic
during the probe, while printing out device info.
