we're at least consistent with what tcsendbreak(3) is documented
to do.
MFC after: 2 weeks
Note, the MFC will be to sys/dev/dgb/dgm.c on the RELENG_4 branch
I am not sure if this is absolutely necessary on all systems. Yet,
there certainly are motherboards and notebook systems which require
this, although there are other systems which just don't. I hope we
shall know when to do this on which systems, as the development of our
ACPI subsystem progresses... (I know we didn't need this for the APM
resume.)
all the debugging code into the function versions of the mutex operations
in kern_mutex.c. This reduced the __mtx_* macros to simply wrappers of
the _{get,rel}_lock_* macros, so the __mtx_* macros were also abolished in
favor of just calling the _{get,rel}_lock_* macros. The tangled hairy mass
of macros calling macros is at least a bit more sane now.
* Don't get confused when memory regions don't lie on page boundaries -
remember our page size is typically larger than the firmware's page size.
* Add a function ia64_running_in_simulator() which is intended to detect
whether the kernel is running in SKI or on real hardware.

telling sysinstall to 'restart' will do no such thing since many of
the options are still set and so you won't be prompted for them

variable to check for debug functionality. Previously, you had to set
both 'debug' and 'SYSINSTALL_DEBUG' to get a log of sysinstall's
activities. Now, only 'debug' is necessary.
ppc to go into EPP mode. These 8 inputs are timestamped in polled
loop so their resolution will be nanoseconds but their granularity
will only be 1/hz.
Remove explicit mention of IP stack, since it might not be accurate for all
interfaces.
Change if_enable to if_capenable, as it is spelled.

have version 1.x firmware. This might also need to go into the release
documentation, as many people seem to have been bitten by this.
