nids(4) was a clever idea in the early 2000's when the market was
flooded with 10/100 NICs with Windows-only drivers, but that hasn't been
the case for ages and the driver has had no meaningful maintenance in
ages. It only supports Windows-XP era drivers.
Also remove:
- ndis support from wpa_supplicant
- ndiscvt(8)

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD
is being built with a C++11 compiler available, we can use BSDL dtc
unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in
sys/contrib/libfdt so the extra copy under contrib/dtc/libfdt can be
removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I've been advised that the model that uses these are fairly resilient, but
we do know the proper path to use (or remove, in the case of ^/targets/...),
so go ahead and update them to reflect that.
Now that we have a way to obtain entropy in capability mode
(getrandom(2)), libcap_random is obsolete. Remove it.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in case anything happens to use it, though I've
found no consumers.

NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

Rather then combining hardlink creation for the geom(8) binary with
shared library build, move libraries to src/lib/geom so they are
built and installed normally. Create a common Makefile.classes
which is included by both lib/geom/Makefile and sbin/geom/Makefile
so the symlink and libraries stay in sync.
The relocation of libraries allows libraries to be build for 32-bit
compat. This also reduces the number of non-standard builds in
the system.
This commit is not sufficent to run a 32-bit /sbin/geom on a 64-bit
system out of the box as it will look in the wrong place for libraries
unless GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriatly in the environment.

ConnectX-4/5 devices in mlx5core.
The dump is obtained by reading a predefined register map from the
non-destructive crspace, accessible by the vendor-specific PCIe
capability (VSC). The dump is stored in preallocated kernel memory and
managed by the mlx5tool(8), which communicates with the driver using a
character device node.
The utility allows to store the dump in format
<address> <value>
into a file, to reset the dump content, and to manually initiate the
dump.
A call to mlx5_fwdump() should be added at the places where a dump
must be fetched automatically. The most likely place is right before a
firmware reset request.

internallib for a while and kept only for gdbtui which was broken using
libreadline.
Since gdb has been mostly deorbitted in all arches, gdbtui was only installed
on arm and sparc64, given it has been removed, gdb has been switched to use
libedit, no consumers are left for libreadline. Thus this removal
only installed on arm and sparc64.
It is the only bits that keeps us having libreadline in base

xlint is currently a fossil. We have much more useful and alive tools
to do now what xlint did twenty years ago.
I did not cleared some stuff which makes lint operational, in
sys/x86/include and sys/sys, but I might do it as followup. The
x86/include/ucontext.h and _types.h hacks made to please lint was the
main reason for my initial proposal to classify xlint as obsolete and
to remove it.
Also I do not intend to clear sccs ids.
