on UltraSPARC workstations. The driver is based on OpenBSD's SBus
cs4231 driver and heavily modified to incorporate into sound(4)
infrastructure. Due to the lack of APCDMA documentation, the DMA
code of SBus cs4231 came from OpenBSD's driver.
The driver runs without Giant lock and supports both SBus and EBus
based CS4231 audio controller. Special thanks to marius for providing
feedbacks during the driver writing. His feedback made it possible
to write hiccup free playback code under high system loads.

count to prevent sockets from being garbage collected during
socket-specific system calls. This is the same approach used in
most VFS-specific system calls, as well as generic file descriptor
system calls such as read() and write().
To do this, add a utility function getsock(), which is logically
identical to getvnode() used for the same purpose in VFS. Unlike
fgetsock(), it returns with the file reference count elevated, but
no bump of the socket reference count. Replace matching calls to
fputsock() with fdrop().
This change is made to all socket system calls other than
sendfile() and accept(), but the approach should be applicable to
those system calls also.
This shaves about four mutex operations off of each of these
system calls, including send() and recv() variants, adding about
1% to pps on minimal UDP packets for UP using netblast, and 4% on
SMP.

that indicates that the caller does not want a page with its busy flag set.
In many places, the global page queues lock is acquired and released just
to clear the busy flag on a just allocated page. Both the allocation of
the page and the clearing of the busy flag occur while the containing vm
object is locked. So, the busy flag might as well never be set.
This flag gets set whenever the thread posts an event on the GEOM
event queue, and if the flag is set when the thread is prepared
to return to userland from the kernel, g_waitidle() will be called
to make sure that the posted events have completed.
This can replace an insufficient number of g_waitidle() calls in
various other places, and has the advantage of being failsafe: Any
system call which does a VOP_OPEN()/VOP_CLOSE will now correctly
wait for any geom events it posted as part of spoils or tastes.

or pru_attach is NULL. With loadable protocols the SPACER dummy protocols
have valid function pointers for all methods to functions returning just
EOPNOTSUPP. Thus the early abort check would not detect immediately that
attach is not supported for this protocol. Instead it would correctly
get the EOPNOTSUPP error later on when it calls the protocol specific
attach function.
Add testing against the pru_attach_notsupp() function pointer to the
early abort check as well.
