researched by glebius, and incorporated by ISC into the next
version of BIND. Unfortunately, it looks like their release
will come after the release of FreeBSD 6, so we will bring
this in now.
The patch addresses a problem with high-load resolvers which
hit memory barriers. Without this patch, running the resolving
name server out of memory would lead to "unpredictable results."
Of course, the canonical answer to this problem is to put more
memory into the system, however that is not always possible, and
the code should be able to handle this situation gracefully in
any case.
struct ifnet most of if_findindex() become a complex no-op. Remove it
and replace it with a corrected version of the four line for loop it
devolved to plus some error handling. This should probably be replaced
with subr_unit at some point.
Switch from checking ifaddr_byindex to ifnet_byindex when looking for
empty indexes. Since we're doing this from if_alloc/if_free, we can
only be sure that ifnet_byindex will be correct. This fixes panics when
loading the ef(4) module. The panics were caused by the fact that
if_alloc was called four time before if_attach was called and thus
ifaddr_byindex was not set and the same unit was allocated again. This
in turn caused the first if_attach to fail because the ifp was not the
one in ifnet_byindex(ifp->if_index).

compatibility options from the current kernel configuration
if built with the latter, not with the world.
[Some other modules seem in need of fixing WRT this, too.]
Add more compatibility options found in GENERIC to the default
opt_compat.h. While not all of them are used in the procfs code,
we can't tell for sure if the system .h files don't need them either,
so let's stay on the safe side.

interrupt comes in later on, which can happen in some uncommon cases.
Another possible fix is to call re_detach() instead of re_stop(), like
ve(4) does, but I am not sure if the latter is really RTTD, so that stick
with this one-liner for now.

the serial console speed (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous
stage boot loader requested a serial console (RB_SERIAL or RB_MULTIPLE)
then the default speed is determined from the current serial port
speed. Otherwise it is set to 9600 or the value of BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
at compile time.
This makes it possible to set the serial port speed once in
/boot.config and the setting will propagate to boot2, loader and
the kernel serial console.
/boot.config or on the "boot:" prompt line via a "-S<speed>" flag,
e.g. "-h -S19200". This adds about 50 bytes to the size of boot2
and required a few other small changes to limit the size impact.
This changes only affects boot2; there are further loader changes
to follow.

- Add locked variants of el_init and el_start.
- Don't initialize the mutex and lock it during el_probe().
- Do initialize the mutex during attach. (el_probe() did destroy the mutex
to cleanup, so this meant the driver was always using a destroyed mutex
when it was running.)
- Setup the interrupt handler after ether_ifattach().
- Fix locking in el_detach() and el_ioctl().
Note: Since I couldn't actually find anyone with this hardware, I'm going
