32b926e0fb Change the return value of sema_timedwait() so it returns 0 on
success and a proper errno value on failure.  This makes it
consistent with cv_timedwait(), and paves the way for the
introduction of functions such as sema_timedwait_sig() which can
fail in multiple ways.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and add a note to UPDATING.

b3e71bbbf2 Commit a message to UPDATING indicating that during network stack locking
merges, debug.mpsafenet will no longer be safe to use, and that it should
be turned off (which is the default).  I will commit a follow-up message
to UPDATING (and post to freebsd-current) when it's safe to turn it on,
with a description of under what circumstances it is safe to use.

00c5ffa497 Change time_t from a 32-bit value to a 64-bit value, on FreeBSD/sparc64
only.  This is a  MAJOR  incompatible change for the sparc64 platform,
but will not effect FreeBSD on other architectures.

f1e94c6f29 Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.
