IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
taking a variable to set need to make sure they protect their locals; if
$var_to_set positional argument coincides with a local the expected call
to `setvar' will fail to reach outside of the function's namespace. When
such collisions are experienced (as I did in the rewrite of usermgmt) the
solution is to append a full or abbreviated version of the function name
to the local (ultimately eliminating collisions). This is rarely needed
and only occurs when you have a lot of like-named functions that pass
very similar $var_to_set positional arguments to each other (such as-is
the case with an expansive library such as `dialog.subr').
is not associated with user "username". E.g., user "foo" has primary group
"wheel" and is unassociated with group "foo", yet userdel would delete the
group "foo" when deleting user "foo" (despite the fact that user "foo" is
not associated with group "foo" in any way).

processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered right
before entering the guest.
The order of event injection into the guest is:
- hardware exception
- NMI
- maskable interrupt
In the Intel VT-x case, a pending NMI or interrupt will enable the interrupt
window-exiting and inject it as soon as possible after the hardware exception
is injected. Also since interrupts are inherently asynchronous, injecting
them after the hardware exception should not affect correctness from the
guest perspective.
Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.
