require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

that last sentence doesn't make any sense, I'm not surprised. It's rather

directories with lots of symlinks could cause excessive disk I/O.

Declare netisr correctly and in the right place.

The bug caused hung ptys when a process talked to itself using nonblocking
i/o and exited while the slave pty had output to flush. ttywait() was
called and hung. Signals didn't work because the process was exiting.
`comcontrol /dev/ttyp0 drainwait 1' worked to terminate the wait. This
shows that comcontrol is not limited to hardware control. It has no i386
or driver dependencies and doesn't belong in src/sbin/i386.

initializing proc0's frame base, too, using cpu_set_init_frame(). It's
a kludge because that macro is intended to be used only for init, but
does what we want nonetheless.

some (hopefully) less offensive stupidity:
If we detect that a user has loaded a module that fails to initialize
itself correctly, panic. There really isn't a safe way to recover from
something like this; we can't know that the module is bad until after
the entry point is called, by which time it's too late to do anything
about it.
- Add $Id$ string.
- Fix comment ("we might *not* be able to unload the
module afterwards without panicking...")
- Get rid of variable 'j' that I used in name checking
for(;;) loop and use 'i' instead (I thought there'd be
a problem with this, but there isn't).
if_tun_mod, etc...) from crashing the system. These modules are useful,
but because they don't yet have proper load()/unload() functions,
they can lead to panics: if, for example, you load the if_ppp module,
any user can panic the system by running modstat.
You can also hang the system outright if you try to unload the PPP
module too.
Changes are as follows:
- Save the name passed to us during the RESERVE stage for name matching
(we can't load if_ppp_mod twice: we've have two ppp0's and two ppp1's,
which is beyond strange). This makes the lkmexists() cheks somewhat
redundant, but there's no way around it that I can see.
- If we call the module entry point and find that we have no lkm_any
structure in our 'private' section, create a fake one. This keeps
modstat happy. We mark such modules as LM_UNKNOWN.
- Don't allow LM_UNLOAD modules to be unloaded: it just ain't
possible. (Unless someone wants to write a pppunattach() function. :( )
- In lkmunreserve(), mark private.lkm_any as NULL so we don't get
confused later. I think this is bogus, but I can't prove it.
XXX: the name matching used to keep the user from loading two
instances of the same module can easily be defeated simply by
changing the module name or, in the case of the oddball modules,
simply by renaming the module files. I haven't found a nice simple
way to tell one module from another.

This change was first implemented in 1.1.5. It was rewritten for 2.1.
The clist access functions allow a simpler implementation at some cost
in correctness and speed. There needs to be an ungetc() function to
recover from EFAULT, and it wastes time to copy through a temporary
buffer.
Don't snoop on single characters that weren't read due to EFAULT.
