since the branch caches on at least Athlon XP through Athlon 64 CPU's
don't understand such instructions and guarantee a cache miss taking
at least 10 cycles. Use the documented workaround "ret $0" instead
("nop; ret" also works, but "ret $0" is probably faster on old CPUs).
Normal code (even asm code) doesn't branch to "ret", since there is
usually some cleanup to do, but the __mcount, .mcount and .mexitcount
entry points were optimized too well to have the minimum number of
instructions (3 instructions each if profiling is not enabled) and
they did this. I didn't see a significant number of cache misses for
.mexitcount, but for the shared "ret" for __mcount and .mcount I
observed cache misses costing 26 cycles each. For a send(2) syscall
that makes about 70 function calls, the cost of these cache misses
alone increased the syscall time from about 4000 cycles to about 7000
cycles. 4000 is for a profiling (GUPROF) kernel with profiling disabled;
after this fix, configuring profiling only costs about 600 cycles in the
4000, which is consistent with almost perfect branch prediction in the
mcounting calls.

- added sysctls to if_enc(4) to control whether the firewalls or

for incoming and outgoing IPsec packets.
- if_enc work with IPv6 now as well.

bpf will see inner and outer headers or just inner or outer
headers for incoming and outgoing IPsec packets.
This is useful in bpf to not have over long lines for debugging
or selcting packets based on the inner headers.
It also properly defines the behavior of what the firewalls see.
Last but not least it gives you if_enc(4) for IPv6 as well.
[ As some auxiliary state was not available in the later
input path we save it in the tdbi. That way tcpdump can give a

- On amd64, just assume type #1 is always used. PCI 2.0 mandated
deprecated type #2 and required type #1 for all future bridges which
was well before amd64 existed.
- For i386, ignore whatever value was in 0xcf8 before testing for type #1
and instead rely on the other tests to determine if type #1 works. Some
newer machines leave garbage in 0xcf8 during boot and as a result the
kernel doesn't find PCI at all (which greatly confuses ACPI which expects
PCI to exist when PCI busses are in the namespace).

ZFS porting style didn't extend this, instead using a heap of additional
header files that don't get installed.
My intention had been to allow OpenSolaris external code to build on
FreeBSD out of the box (i.e. without a src tree).
Make clear that this is not a good idea when called from
tcp_output()->ipsec_hdrsiz_tcp()->ipsec4_hdrsize_tcp()
as we do not know if IPsec processing is needed at that point.

T_DIRECT filtering so that disk drives can be attached via the
pass driver. Add CAM locking. Don't mark CAM commands as SG64
since the hardware isn't designed to deal with 64-bit passthru
commands. Hopefully the bounce buffer changes that were done
for the management/ioctl interface are robust enough to handle
this deficiency for CAM as well.

Add a new option to newfs(8), -r, to specify reserved space at the
end of the device. It can be useful, e.g., when the device is to
become a member of a gmirror array later w/o losing the file system
on it.
Document the new option in the manpage.
While I'm here, improve error handling for -s option, which is
syntactically similar to -r; and document the fact that -s0 selects
the default fs size explicitly, which can be useful, e.g., in a
menu-based wrapper around newfs(8) requiring some value be entered
for the fs size.
Also fix a small typo in the help line for -s (missing space).
