As of FreeBSD 8, this driver should not be used. Applications that use
posix_openpt(2) and openpty(3) use the pts(4) that is built into the
kernel unconditionally. If it turns out high profile depend on the
pty(4) module anyway, I'd rather get those fixed. So please report any
issues to me.
The pty(4) module is still available as a kernel module of course, so a
simple `kldload pty' can be used to run old-style pseudo-terminals.
manipulation of the pvo_vlink and pvo_olink entries is already protected

page queues lock can likely be replaced with the table lock, or removed
if the table lock is already held.

return int, due to the Usual Arithmetic Conversions. Such casts are not
needed for the 32 and 64 bit variants.
While here, add additional parentheses around the x86 variant, to

This will make every attempt to mount a non-mpsafe filesystem to the
kernel forbidden, unless it is expressely compiled with
VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option.
This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.
No MFC is expected for this patch.
Without this patch we were not able to see the assembly function.
Only the function descriptor was visible.
- Distinguish between user-land and kernel when creating the ENTRY() point of
assembly source.
- Make the ENTRY() macro more readable, replace the .align directive with the
gas platform independant .p2align directive.
- Create an END()macro for later use to provide traceback tables on powerpc64.
These fans are not located under the same node as the the RPM controlled ones,
So I had to adapt the current source to parse and fill the properties correctly.
To control the fans we can set the PWM ratio via sysctl between 20 and 100%.

The tag enforces a single restriction that all DMA transactions must not
cross a 4GB boundary. Note that while this restriction technically only
applies to PCI-express, this change applies it to all PCI devices as it
is simpler to implement that way and errs on the side of caution.
- Add a softc structure for PCI bus devices to hold the bus_dma tag and
a new pci_attach_common() routine that performs actions common to the
attach phase of all PCI bus drivers. Right now this only consists of
a bootverbose printf and the allocate of a bus_dma tag if necessary.
- Adjust all PCI bus drivers to allocate a PCI bus softc and to call
pci_attach_common() from their attach routines.

long for specifying a boundary constraint.
- Change bus_dma tags to use bus_addr_t instead of bus_size_t for boundary
constraints.
These allow boundary constraints to be fully expressed for cases where
sizeof(bus_addr_t) != sizeof(bus_size_t). Specifically, it allows a
driver to properly specify a 4GB boundary in a PAE kernel.
Note that this cannot be safely MFC'd without a lot of compat shims due
to KBI changes, so I do not intend to merge it.

possible, and double faults within an SLB trap handler are not. The result
is that it possible to take an SLB fault at any time, on any address, for
any reason, at any point in the kernel.
This lets us do two important things. First, it removes the (soft) 16 GB RAM
ceiling on PPC64 as well as any architectural limitations on KVA space.
Second, it lets the kernel tolerate poorly designed hypervisors that
have a tendency to fail to restore the SLB properly after a hypervisor
context switch.

At the moment grab and ungrab methods of all console drivers are no-ops.
Current intended meaning of the calls is that the kernel takes control of
console input. In the future the semantics may be extended to mean that
the calling thread takes full ownership of the console (e.g. console
output from other threads could be suspended).
