These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

If I interpret the C standard correctly, the storage specifier should be
placed before the inline keyword. While at it, replace __inline by
inline in the files affected.
The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
legal in the spec. Add newline to the verbose messages we print when
debugging when this happens. The Hitachi HT-4840-11 is the only card
to hit these in years, and it works well enough if we're liberal about
what we accept.
says that in such cases we can pick any interrupt. One of these cards
is the LG11 Wireless LAN card. I don't have one of these, but I do
know that this doesn't hurt any cards I've tried it with.

procedure. There were some subtle differences before that could lead
to a variety of bugs, including resources being lost (in one case
forever). pccard_probe_and_attach_card does this now, and includes
comments about what's going on and why, since it isn't obvious from
the code. Please let me know if I've missed anything...
Provide a new function called pccard_select_cfe that allows drivers to
select which configuration entry to use. This is needed for some
older pre-MFC standard cards with many functions that want to activate
all their functions by selecting alternative entries, or to work
around broken ones. pccard_select_cfe will migrate into the
pccard_if.m interface as its interface stabilizes to keep all the
pccard drivers from referencing any symbols in the pccard.ko module
directly.
Fix a printf to refer to the right function name.
