in-core pointers to summary information. An array in this region
(fs_csp) could overflow on filesystems with a very large number of
cylinder groups (~16000 on i386 with 8k blocks). When this happens,
other fields in the superblock get corrupted, and fsck refuses to
check the filesystem.
Solve this problem by replacing the fs_csp array in 'struct fs'
with a single pointer, and add padding to keep the length of the
128-byte region fixed. Update the kernel and userland utilities
to use just this single pointer.
With this change, the kernel no longer makes use of the superblock
fields 'fs_csshift' and 'fs_csmask'. Add a comment to newfs/mkfs.c
to indicate that these fields must be calculated for compatibility
with older kernels.

have spoken with quite a few folks about this and the support for doing
this was pretty strong. I dont remember names though, so I cannot share
the blame :-(. Note that this does not *remove* DD mode, it just stops
waving it at new users. You can still set it via config files etc, and
the bootblocks and kernel still support it. You can still use disklabel
to make true DD disks.
time I tinkered around here. Since INTREN is called from the interrupt
critical path now, it should not be too expensive. In this case, we
look at the bits being changed to decide which 8 bit IO port to write to
rather than unconditionally writing to both. I could probably have gone
further and only done the write if the bits actually changed, but that
seemed overkill for the usual case in interrupt threads.

The default is 1(ON), which means that /dev/random device will

setting kern.random.sys.seeded to 0(OFF) will cause /dev/random
to block until the next reseed, at which stage the sysctl
will be changed back to 1(ON).
While I'm here, clean up the sysctls, and make them dynamic.

* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the

The tightening up of version number checking also fixes a bug where
a package file such as gtk.tgz would have resulting in gtk-engines
