All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years
from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including:
+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code
+ various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX
parameters, and private and public variables)
We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally
equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.
GNU rcs is still available as a package:

On some targets 'make showconfig' currently reports both 'no' and 'yes'
for some options. For example:
% make TARGET=mips showconfig | grep SSP
MK_SSP = no
MK_SSP = yes

In FreeBSD 11 ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is installed as objcopy by
default, with the option to switch back to GNU objcopy by setting
WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY in make.conf.
We plan to remove the outdated in-tree binutils in FreeBSD 12, so
remove the temporary transition aid.

All remaining tools using rcs has been switched to directly use diff3(1):
- etcupdate(8)
- freebsd-update(8)
Note that the ident(1) tool is been already replaced long ago with a BSD
licensed version, as such it remains installed.
GNU rcs is still available from ports:
- rcs: newer GPLv3 version

Althought cryptotest itself has a -z mode to test all algorithms at a variety
of sizes, this script allows us to be more selective. Threads and buffer sizes
move in powers of two from 1, for threads, and 256 for buffer sizes.
e.g. cryptorun.sh aes 4 512
Test aes with 1, 2 and 4 processes, and at sizes of 256 and 512 bytes.

The wl(4) driver supports pre-802.11 PCCard wireless adapters that
are slower than 802.11b. They do not work with any of the 802.11

The si(4) driver supported multiport serial adapters for ISA, EISA, and
PCI buses. This driver does not use bus_space, instead it depends on
direct use of the pointer returned by rman_get_virtual(). It is also
still locked by Giant and calls for patch testing to convert it to use
bus_space were unanswered.

This tool parses the ACPI DMAR table looking for DMA remapping devices.
For each device it walks the root table and any context tables
referenced to display mapping info for PCI devices.
Note that acpidump -t already parses the info in the ACPI DMAR tables
directly. This tool examines some of the data structures the DMAR
remapping engines use to translate DMA requests.

This is meant to install a new BE (boot environment) given a fully built
world/kernel. In addition to installing world and kernel in the new BE,
it also automatically performs /etc updates (using etcupdate or mergemaster)
and package updates (using pkg).
Because this process is performed in a new BE, it reduces the need for a
second reboot. It also means a reboot into a partially updated system (due
to install or hardware failure) can't happen.
Inspired by and similar in function to Solaris/illumos-style upgrades.
For all locales with variants:
- if no ambiguity on the locale (only one variant) just use the regular name
- if ambiguity, pick one as default and append @<variant> to the others
respecting POSIX
As a result:
- All the 3 components locales added recently are renamed to the usual 2
components version for all but sr_RS.UTF-8
- Set sr_RS.UTF-8 to the cyrillic variant
- Add sr_RS.UTF-8@latin
- Remove the symlinks aliases they were created to represent the 2 components
version as aliasas and are now useless
- Update the OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc and ObsoleteFiles.inc to reflect those
changes
