deal with filename arguments. It is amazing how much you forget over time.
Thanks to the people that reminded me this. I knew there was an easy way
that didn't involve messing with $argv, filehandles, etc, but just could
not remember - all of my books are on the opposite side of the planet..

Some people do not like the new way, and the release building still assumes
modules are built with the world.
theory, this should allow the K7V Athlon motherboard to boot ok with boot
virus protection enabled. However, I have no hardware to test this. It
shouldn't break anything though. :)

address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:
socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command
You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).
Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

Remove a pointless warning in the root device locating code.
Remove the "wd" compatibility name from the "ad" driver.

you upgrade your kernel.
until the incoming connection has either data waiting or what looks like a
HTTP request header already in the socketbuffer. This ought to reduce
the context switch time and overhead for processing requests.
The initial idea and code for HTTPACCEPT came from Yahoo engineers and has
been cleaned up and a more lightweight DELAYACCEPT for non-http servers
has been added

options USERCONFIG being present. Due to the lack of early boot hints
neither sio or sc would succeed the console probe. If USERCONFIG was
active, there was a second cninit() after userconfig had run and that
happened to make the console selection work. If you left out USERCONFIG,
you would end up with no console at all. :-(
This needs a proper fix, especially when sc looses the "at isa" hint.
But for now, this works.

Also improve debug output for mmap, now showing what the emulation
layer mapped to what (-DDEBUG).

implying that they aren't used for the rest of the system.
Fix the lies:
253 is used by mfs (bad MFS for not registering it).
254 is a magic cookie inside of the dev code in at least one place.
255 is -1 which is magic in a different way in the dev code.
So, that means that 200-252 are reserved for local users. A grep for
252 didn't turn anything up, so I'm assuming it and lower are safe.
And I thought I was being smart by allocating our local major numbers
from 254 on down. This caused very very odd problems that were hard
to track down: close not being called, sync failing at reboot, etc.
no clue.
Set sourceid to 0 when booting, which is the correct setting for stdin.
Set sourceid to an arbitrary fd when include'ing, preserving and restoring
the previous sourceid. This is possibly broken(), as 0 is a valid fd. Maybe
we should +1 to this value.
This fixes the version problem widely reported.
