purgevfs is purely optional and induces lock contention in workloads
which frequently mount and unmount filesystems.
In particular, poudriere will do this for filesystems with 4 vnodes or
less. Full cache scan is clearly wasteful.
Since there is no explicit counter for namecache entries, the number of
vnodes used by the target fs is checked.
The default limit is the number of bucket locks.

Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();
While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.
Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

- Convert "options EVDEV" to "device evdev" and "device uinput", add

- For hybrid drivers that have evdev as an optional way to deliver input

to use it instead of EVDEV
- Remove no-op DECLARE_MODULE in evdev, it's not required, MODULE_VERSION

A single gratuitous ARP (GARP) is always transmitted when an IPv4
address is added to an interface, and that is usually sufficient.
However, in some circumstances, such as when a shared address is
passed between cluster nodes, this single GARP may occasionally be
dropped or lost. This can lead to neighbors on the network link
working with a stale ARP cache and sending packets destined for
that address to the node that previously owned the address, which
may not respond.
To avoid this situation, GARP retransmissions can be enabled by setting
the net.link.ether.inet.garp_rexmit_count sysctl to a value greater
than zero. The setting represents the maximum number of retransmissions.
The interval between retransmissions is calculated using an exponential
backoff algorithm, doubling each time, so the retransmission intervals
are: {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...} (seconds).
Due to the exponential backoff algorithm used for the interval
between GARP retransmissions, the maximum number of retransmissions
is limited to 16 for sanity. This limit corresponds to a maximum
interval between retransmissions of 2^16 seconds ~= 18 hours.
Increasing this limit is possible, but sending out GARPs spaced
days apart would be of little use.

The kernel uses a few negative errno values for internal conditions
such as requesting a system call restart. Normally these errno values
are not exposed to userland. However, kdump needs access to these
values as some of then can be present in a ktrace system call return
record. Previously kdump was defining _KERNEL to gain access to ehse
values, but was then having to manually declare 'errno' (and doing it
incorrectly). Now, kdump uses _WANT_KERNEL_ERRNO instead of _KERNEL
and uses the system-provided declaration of errno.
is NULL and the function jumps to the "release:" label.
For this case, the "inp" was write locked, but the code attempted to
read unlock it. This patch fixes the problem.
This case could occur for NFS over UDP mounts, where the server was
down for a few minutes under certain circumstances.

On ARM if memattr is not overriden mmap(2) maps framebuffer
memory as WBWA which means part of changes to content in userland
end up in cache and appear on screen gradually as cache lines are
evicted. This change adds configurable memattr that hardware fb
implementation can set to get the memory mapping type it

- Add new flag FB_FLAG_MEMATTR that indicates that framebuffer

Prepare for making evdev a module. "Pure" evdev device drivers (like
touchscreen) and evdev itself can be built as a modules regardless of
"options EVDEV" in kernel config. So if people does not require evdev
functionality in hybrid drivers like ums and ukbd they can, for instance,
kldload evdev and utouchscreen to run FreeBSD in kiosk mode.
In cam_periph_runccb, cam_periph_ccbwait was using the value of the ccb
pinfo.index and status fields to determine whether the ccb was done,
but these fields are updated without a contending lock and could glitch
into states that would be erroneously interpreted as done. Instead,
have cam_periph_ccbwait look for the explicit result of the function
cam_periph_done.

with VTune show that the percentage of time spent in invlrng_single_page on an

UEFI standard is unclear on this, where it is clear on the size of
the variable).
2. Dynamically allocate the buffers so we can grow them if someone

These two fixes allow me to examine all the variables in my BIOS and
also removes the repeated printing of variables.
