because everything is emulated anyway. (We presently have incomplete
support for hardware FPUs.)

is used.
Although the module _builds_, it fails to load because of a missing symbol from
ieee80211_tdma.c.
Specifics:
* Always build ieee80211_tdma.c in the module;
* only compile in the code if IEEE80211_SUPPORT_TDMA is defined.
The USB code as it stands includes the bus glue along _with_ the controller
code. So the ohci/ehci modules actually build the USB controller code and
the PCI bus glue.
It'd be nice to ship separate modules for the PCI glue and the USB
controller (so for example if there were a USB controller hanging off
the internal SoC bus as well as an external PCI device) it could be done.
This is primarily done to save a few bytes here and there on embedded
systems with limited flash space for kernels - a very limited (sub-1MB)
space may be available for the kernel and may only support gzip encoding.
The rootfs can be LZMA compressed.

on-board, glued to the AR71xx CPU. These may forgo separate WMAC EEPROMs
(which store configuration and calibration data) and instead store
it in the main board SPI flash.
Normally the NIC reads the EEPROM attached to it to setup various PCI
configuration registers. If this isn't done, the device will probe as
something different (eg 0x168c:abcd, or 0x168c:ff??.) Other setup registers
are also written to which may control important functions.
This introduces a new compile option, AR71XX_ATH_EEPROM, which enables the
use of this particular code. The ART offset in the SPI flash can be
specified as a hint against the relevant slot/device number, for example:
hint.pcib.0.bus.0.17.0.ath_fixup_addr=0x1fff1000
hint.pcib.0.bus.0.18.0.ath_fixup_addr=0x1fff5000
TODO:
* Think of a better name;
* Make the PCIe version of this fixup code also use this option;
* Maybe also check slot 19;
* This has to happen _before_ the SPI flash is set from memory-mapped
to SPI-IO - so document that somewhere.
to being more generic.
Other embedded SoCs also throw the configuration/PCI register
info into flash.
For now I'm just hard-coding the AR9280 option (for on-board AR9220's on
AP94 and commercial designs (eg D-Link DIR-825.))
TODO:
* Figure out how to support it for all 11n SoC NICs by doing it in
ar5416InitState();
* Don't hard-code the EEPROM size - add another field which is set
by the relevant chip initialisation code.
* 'owl_eep_start_loc' may need to be overridden in some cases to 0x0.
I need to do some further digging.
to read strings completely to know the actual size.
As a side effect it fixes the issue with kern.proc.args and kern.proc.env
sysctls, which didn't return the size of available data when calling
sysctl(3) with the NULL argument for oldp.
Note, in get_ps_strings(), which does actual work for proc_getargv() and
proc_getenvv(), we still have a safety limit on the size of data read in
case of a corrupted procces stack.

- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.

This function updates path string to vnode's full global path and checks
the size of the new path string against the pathlen argument.
In vfs_domount(), sys_unmount() and kern_jail_set() this new function
is used to update the supplied path argument to the respective global path.
Unbreaks jailed zfs(8) with enforce_statfs set to 1.

possible, and double faults within an SLB trap handler are not. The result
is that it possible to take an SLB fault at any time, on any address, for
any reason, at any point in the kernel.
This lets us do two important things. First, it removes the (soft) 16 GB RAM
ceiling on PPC64 as well as any architectural limitations on KVA space.
Second, it lets the kernel tolerate poorly designed hypervisors that
have a tendency to fail to restore the SLB properly after a hypervisor
context switch.
