rev.1.1040. It is a miscellaneous isa+pci driver, but came back
described as a pci-only driver and placed in an i4b pci subsection
after its migration to /sys/conf/NOTES. Put it back where it used to
be, fully unsorted in the `Miscellaneous hardware' section. Reduced
nearby disorder in this section by moving configuration of the digi
driver to where it was for the old digiboard drivers, so that the
order at least matches the order in the table of contents.
- references to removed math emulators for NPX_DEBUG
- header for the null set of mandatory devices
- reference to the removed (and bogus when it existed) sysctl
kern.timecounter.method.
FIxed some nearby disorder (descriptions of CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X,
CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG, CPU_DISABLE_SSE,
CPU_ELAN_XTAL and CPU_SOEKRIS, and options for all of these except
CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE).
CPU_ENABLE_TCC enables Thermal Control Circuitry (TCC) found in some
Pentium(tm) 4 and (possibly) later CPUs. When enabled and detected,
TCC allows to restrict power consumption by using machdep.cpuperf*
sysctls. This operates independently of SpeedStep and is useful on
systems where other mechanisms such as apm(4) or acpi(4) don't work.
Given the fact that many, even modern, notebooks don't work properly
with Intel ACPI, this is indeed very useful option for notebook owners.

at it, use the ANSI C generic pointer type for the second argument,
thus matching the documentation.
Remove the now extraneous (and now conflicting) function declarations
in various libc sources. Remove now unnecessary casts.

replacement of struct proc by struct thread. This bug could cause a
NULL pointer dereferencation under certain circumstances (e. g. while
running /etc/rc.d/pcvt).
Put a CTASSERT() on the size of the struct.
Use the struct where it is easy to do so in elan_mmcr.c
Add the Elan specific hardware reset code (also from jb@).
Make sigaltstack as per-threaded, because per-process sigaltstack state
is useless for threaded programs, multiple threads can not share same
stack.
The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,
the orignal P_ALTSTACK is now moved into td_pflags and renamed to
TDP_ALTSTACK.
For single thread or Linux clone() based threaded program, there is no
semantic changed, because those programs only have one kernel thread
in every process.

DELAY(1) instead. After wading through old commit logs, I found that the
outb() was added not as part of the test but as an intentional delay. In
fact, according to Shanley's PCI book, the configuration 1 data and address
ports should only be accessed using aligned 32-bit accesses (i.e. inl()
and outl()). Thus, using outb() to just the last byte of the port violates
the PCI spec it would seem. On at least one box doing so broke the probe
for PCI, whereas changing it to a DELAY(1) fixed the probe.

nearly eight megabytes of kernel virtual address space per gigabyte

- Increase UMA_BOOT_PAGES by two. This enables the removal of

initialization, specifically, after pmap_init() but before
pmap_init2(). During pmap_init2(), a new allocator is installed.)
