difficult (and until now, incorrect).
Having pfil distinguish the two removes an ugly piece of code from pf.

ECN (ABE)" proposal to the New Reno congestion control algorithm module.
ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to
ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response.
More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn
The implementation introduces four new sysctls:
- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to
enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections.
- net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta_ecn set the
multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion
signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e.
beta=50 and beta_ecn=80.
- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to
non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing
loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more
conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of
experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore.
The values of beta and beta_ecn can also be set per-connection by way of the
TCP_CCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CC_NEWRENO_BETA or
CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.

implements two SMBus controllers (iMC-SMBs).
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Because motherboard firmware or the BMC might try to use the iMC-SMBs for
monitoring DIMM temperatures and/or managing an NVDIMM, the driver might
need to temporarily disable those functions, or take a hardware interlock,
before using the iMC-SMBs. Details on how to do this may vary from board to
board, and the procedure may be proprietary. It is strongly suggested that
anyone wishing to use this driver contact their motherboard vendor, and
modify the driver as described in the manual page and in the driver itself.

Attaching syscon_generic earlier than BUS_PASS_DEFAULT makes it more
difficult for specific syscon drivers to attach to the syscon node and to
get ordering right. Further discussion yielded the following set of
decisions:
- Move syscon_generic to BUS_PASS_DEFAULT
- If a platform needs a syscon with different attach order or probe
behavior, it should subclass syscon_generic and match on the SoC specific
compat string
- When we come across a need for a syscon that attaches earlier but only
specifies compatible = "syscon", we should create a syscon_exclusive driver
that provides generic access but probes earlier and only matches if "syscon"
is the only compatible. Such fdt nodes do exist in the wild right now, but
we don't really use them at the moment.
Additionally:
- Any syscon provider that has needs any more complex than a spinlock solely
for syscon access and a single memory resource should subclass syscon
directly rather than attempting to subclass syscon_generic or add complexity
to it. syscon_generic's attach/detach methods may be made public should the
need arise to subclass it with additional attach/detach behavior.
We introduce aw_syscon(4) that just subclasses syscon_generic but probes
earlier to meet our requirements for if_awg and implements #2 above for this
specific situation. It currently only matches a64/a83t/h3 since these are
the only platforms that really need it at the time being.
