87eb816986 Some changes to reflect 6.0-STABLE/RELEASE:
- Mention that this is -STABLE
 - Mention that only 5.3+ is supported for source upgrade
 - When just building a kernel we assume that the user got a
   system that is fresh enough
 - The in-place update is supported for 5.x-STABLE and 6.x-STABLE
 - Since we don't support systems that is prior to 5.3, don't
   mention about mergemaster three years before.
 - Since source upgrade from 4.x is no longer supported, we
   are supposed that COMPAT_FREEBSD5X is better suited for the
   source upgrade
 - At the end, call this a -STABLE

0e1eb2fee5 Remove a note that claims that the debugging options are turned on
by default, to match the reality that these has been turned off on
the 6-STABLE branch since 6.0-BETA6.

This is a direct commit against RELENG_6 since it is not applicable
for HEAD.

c724d1075b - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a new
ifconfig_DEFAULT variable.  Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
   applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
   variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
 - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
   removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
   in the list of canidates.
 - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
   options so nat works.

d2fcbc31f7 cleanup a danging reference to cleaning up /etc/fstab. Since we don't
support 4->6 upgrades, this is moot.  Most 4.x installations even,
have things compatible with 5 at thsi point, but some don't, so I'll
leave it in the branch...

e5a9c072c1 Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wall
clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.  None are know to
exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

3155a16bbf Welcome to the 21st century: increase MAXSHELLCMDLEN from 128 bytes to
PAGE_SIZE.

Unlike originator of the PR suggests retain MAXSHELLCMDLEN definition
(he has been proposing to replace it with PAGE_SIZE everywhere), not only
this reduced the diff significantly, but prevents code obfuscation and also
allows to increase/decrease this parameter easily if needed.

branched, as well as the 5.3 release date, as shown in the CVS logs

d06f3bef4e Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.
A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel.  Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols)  and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.
