vnode operations. This permits the rights of the user (typically root)
used to turn on accounting to be used when writing out accounting entries,
rather than the credentials of the process generating the accounting
record. This fixes accounting in a number of environments, including
file systems that offer revocation support, MAC environments, some
securelevel scenarios, and in some NFS environments.

the initproc credential from the proc0 credential. Otherwise, the
proc0 credential is used instead of initproc's credentil when authorizing
start_init() activities prior to initproc hitting userland for the
first time. This could result in the incorrect credential being used
to authorize mounting of the root file system, which could in turn cause
problems for NFS when used in combination with uid/gid ipfw rules, or
with MAC.

Remove some unnecessary assignments to mbuf fields in sis_newbuf(),
the "length" fields are of no use while the mbuf is in the receive ring.

to parse the binary .kld file as a list of symbols. Fix this by
simply deleting the unwanted argument from the ARGV[] array instead
of trying to skip over it.
to the address of the user's aiocb rather than the kernel's aiocb. (In other
words, prior to this change, the ident field returned by kevent(2) on
completion of an AIO was effectively garbage.)

cninit. This allows a console driver to replace the existing console
by calling cninit again, eg during the device probe. Otherwise the
multiple console code sends output to both, which is unfortunate if
they're using the same hardware.
about calls to SYSCTL_OUT() made with locks held if the buffer has not
been pre-wired. SYSCTL_OUT() should not be called while holding locks,
but if this is not possible, the buffer should be wired by calling
sysctl_wire_old_buffer() before grabbing any locks.
that LIO_READ and LIO_WRITE were requests for kevent()-based
notification of completion. Modify _aio_aqueue() to recognize LIO_READ
and LIO_WRITE.
Notes: (1) The patch provided by the PR perpetuates a second bug in this
code, a direct access to user-space memory. This change fixes that bug
as well. (2) This change is to code that implements a deprecated interface.
It should probably be removed after an MFC.

- bus_space'ify
- generate fake ethernet address using read_random() instead of reading
from timer i/o ports
Other minor fixes:
- remove "hack" in connect_to_master()
- use M_ZERO
- remove unused variable in sbni_ioctl()
- properly release irq in sbni_attach_isa() on attach errors
and the AT24C08 small serial flash parts. We still report these as
the same part (since we group things already), but now we recognize
the small serial versions as well.
firmware revision as well (not sure which firmware versions are needed
for this, but the 6.x and 8.x 'software' versions that I have seem to
support it).
Add dBm comm quality RID. This is like the normal comm quality rid,
except the signal and noise numbers are normalized to dBm. Some
revisions of the prism firmware, however, don't support this RID, and
some that do support it return 0 for quality and/or noise. Your
milage may vary.
the mbuf contains the ethernet header (eh) as well, which ether_input()
will strip off as needed.
This permits the removal (in a backward compatible way) of the
header removal code which right now is replicated in all drivers,
sometimes in an inconsistent way. Also, because many functions
called after ether_input() require the eh in the mbuf, eventually
we can propagate the interface and handle outdated drivers just
in ether_input().
Individual driver changes to use the new interface will follow as
we have a chance to touch them.
NOTE THAT THIS CHANGE IS FULLY BACKWARD COMPATIBLE AND DOES NOT BREAK
BINARY COMPATIBILITY FOR DRIVERS.

Also take this chance to cleanup the code in fxp_intr_body.
Add a missing block of code to disable interrupts when
reinitializing the interface while doing polling (the RELENG_4
version was correct).

investigate the problem described below.
I am seeing some strange livelock on recent -current sources with
a slow box under heavy load, which disappears with this change.
This might suggest some kind of problem (either insufficient locking,
or mishandling of priorities) in the poll_idle thread.
