There are risks associated with waiting on a preemptible epoch section.
Change the name to make them not be the default and document the issue
under CAVEATS.

Currently 'man -k iflib' would find you the right pages for iflib
documentation, namely iflibdd(9) and iflibdi(9) but 'man iflib' would leave
you in the dark. This allows both approaches to find the relevant
documentation.

Prior to this change the manual page documented ifdi_queues_alloc which has
been replaced by separate methods for tx and rx queues.

Also remove the commented out documentation. The documentation arrived
with the import of the copy.9 manpage. I suspect the implementations
came from NetBSD while bootstrapping the Arm and MIPS ports.

Add a new "interleave" allocation policy which stripes pages across
domains with a stride or width keeping contiguity within a multi-page
region.
Move the kernel to the dedicated numbered cpuset #2 making it possible
to assign kernel threads and memory policy separately from user. This
also eliminates the need for the complicated interrupt binding code.
Add a sysctl API for viewing and manipulating domainsets. Refactor some
of the cpuset_t manipulation code using the generic bitset type so that
it can be used for both. This probably belongs in a dedicated subr file.
Attempt to improve the include situation.

Forwarded packets passed through PFIL_OUT, which made it difficult for
firewalls to figure out if they were forwarding or producing packets. This in
turn is an issue for pf for IPv6 fragment handling: it needs to call
ip6_output() or ip6_forward() to handle the fragments. Figuring out which was
difficult (and until now, incorrect).
Having pfil distinguish the two removes an ugly piece of code from pf.
Introduce a new variant of the netpfil callbacks with a flags variable, which
has PFIL_FWD set for forwarded packets. This allows pf to reliably work out if
a packet is forwarded.

altq(4) to match altq(9). This makes preserving the history section as the
author of ALTQ easier in the history section, rather than calling it a framework
in the description & a system in the history.
Add a history section to altq(4) and extend the history section in altq(9)

Remove how to format K&R stuff. The project hasn't been using it in
new code for a long time. It's so obsolete, we don't need a statement
to never use it. Add a statement requesting that comments about
parameters be preserved when converting to ASNI style, per Kirk.

camelCase tends to be preferred for function identifiers, while
internal_underscores are preferred for variable identifiers. This convention
makes it a little bit easier to eyeball whether variable/function usage is
correct.
The optional commas for final table values are preferred to reduce chances
for error.
The intent of this guideline is to avoid creating global variables in module
scope. Its main purpose is to serve as a reminder that variables at module
scope also need to be declared.
We want to avoid global variables in general, but this is easier to mess up
when designing things in the module scope.
VirtIO V1 provides configuration in multiple VENDOR capabilities so this
