poll(2) or kqueue(2). Previously we rejected fd's higher than FD_SETSIZE
for kevent(2), and larger than sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) for poll(2). However,
the check for poll(2) wasn't really needed. open(2) and socket(2) won't
return an fd you can't pass to either poll(2) or kevent(2). This fixes
a but where gethostbyname() would fail if you had more than 1023 files
open in a process.

While here, remove Xrefs to all other wlan drivers except the Intel ones,
these often get confused. Also remove pointers to the old ipw and iwi webpages,
they don't include any useful information that's not in the manpages yet.

RTC state, then it may clobber the RTC index register, so the index
register must be restored before using it to restore control registers
in rtc_restore().
The following problems remain:
- rtc_restore() is only called if pmtimer is configured. Buggy
suspend/resumes are more likely to clobber the index register than
a control register, so pmtimer is more needed than it used to be.
- pmtimer doesn't exist for amd64.
- Restoring of the RTC state may race with rtcintr(). If an RTC
interrupt is handled before the state is restored, then rtcin(RTC_INTR)
in rtcintr() may read from the wrong register, so rtcintr() may spin
forever. This may be mitigated by the most common state clobbering
being to turn off RTC interrupts.

behind _FREEFALL_CONFIG). This is done mainly to make NIS even more
resistant to packet loss.
This is not enabled by default for "normal" FreeBSD since it might cause
the server providing the RPC service to be hit heavily with RPC traffic
in case of problems. freefall.FreeBSD.org and hub.FreeBSD.org have been
running with a patch similar to this for a couple of weeks.

packet loss when talking to a NIS server.
- Set 1 second retry timeout to further realistically handle UDP
packet loss for yp_next packet bursts. If the packet hasn't come
back within 1 second its rather unlikely to come back at all. There
is still back-off mechanism in RPC so if there is another reason
than packet loss for the lack of response within 1 second, the NIS
server will not be totally bombarded with requests.
This reduces the risk of NIS failing with:
yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
considerably. This is mainly a problem if you have larger NIS maps
(like at FreeBSD.org) since enumerations of the lists will cause a UDP
packet bursts where a few packets being lost once in a while do
happen.
