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)

Remove wi(4). pccard is going away, and wi only supports PC Card
devices, though it has a minor amount of glue to also support
PCI cards. However, removing the one without removing the other
is hard, so the whole driver is being removed.

The ice(4) driver is the driver for the Intel E8xx series Ethernet
controllers; currently with codenames Columbiaville and
Columbia Park.
These new controllers support 100G speeds, as well as introducing
more queues, better virtualization support, and more offload
capabilities. Future work will enable virtual functions (like
in ixl(4)) and the other functionality outlined above.
For full functionality, the kernel should be compiled with
"device ice_ddp" like in the amd64 NOTES file, and/or
ice_ddp_load="YES" should be added to /boot/loader.conf so that
the DDP package file included in this commit can be downloaded
to the adapter. Otherwise, the adapter will fall back to a single
queue mode with limited functionality.
A man page for this driver will be forthcoming.

This driver was marked as gone in 12. We're at 13 now. Remove it.
Data from nycbug's dmesg cache shows only one potential user,
suggesting it never was used much. However, even though this device
has been obsolete for 15 years at least, sys/joystick.h is included in
a number of graphics packages still, so that remains. A full exprun
is needed before that can be removed.

I held the mistaken belief this was completely unused. While the
driver is unused and likely not relevant for a long time,
sys/joystick.h lives on in maybe half a dozen ports, even though
hardware to use it hasn't been widely used in maybe 15 years.
Remove mse and all support for bus and inport devices from the tree.
Data from nycbug's dmesg database shows the last sighting of this
driver was in 4.10 on only one machine.

After long consultations with re@, core members and mmacy, revert
these changes. Followup changes will be made to mark them as
deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date
driver. Followup commits will be made to make this clear in the
installer. Followup commits to reduce POLA in ways we're still
exploring.
It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).
Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate
the negative effects as much as possible.

This driver was merged to HEAD one week prior to Exar publicly announcing they
had left the Ethernet market. It is not known to be used and has various code
quality issues spotted by Brooks and Hiren. Retire it in preparation for
FreeBSD 12.0.

Retained EISA mode code for IO PIC and MPTABLES because that's not
EISA bus, per se, and some people have abused EISA to mean "EISA-like

The wl(4) driver supports pre-802.11 PCCard wireless adapters that
are slower than 802.11b. They do not work with any of the 802.11

The si(4) driver supported multiport serial adapters for ISA, EISA, and

bus_space were unanswered.

- Add linprocfs and linsysfs to the linuxulator dox.
- Take the generated includes from the .m files from a subdirectory
instead of putting everything into $(.OBJDIR). This imporves the
human readbility of the source directory contents a lot, if you do not
create a separate OBJDIR.
- Assume UTF-8 encoding for every input file.
- Strip the source and dest path from the output, we are not interested
in the absolute location on the machine where the docs are created,
relative the the root of the FreeBSD source is what interests us.
- Exclude .svn directories.
- Switch to alphabetic index.
- Use one line per INCLUDE_PATH member in the common dox-config.
- Bump the __FreeBSD__ version to 9. [MFC: to 8]
- Switch from hardcoded .m files to an run-time generated one. Takes
a little bit more time to get started with actual work, but at least
is more future-proof. If you generate dox for all subsystems, the
time to find all .m files in the source is magnitutes lower than
producing the docs.
- Make the *DEST_PATH overidable from the environment. This allows to
produce the output directly in the docroot of a webserver.
- Fix the path when telling the user where he can find the API docs.

It uses doxygen to generate the API documentation. For each subsystem
a very small (about 20 lines with comments) subsystem specific Doxyfile
has to be written (have a look at the README for more). All common doxygen
options are specified in a separate file.
The framework is configured to not only generate the HTML version, but also
a PDF version (the paper size is hardcoded to DIN A4 currently and depending
on the subsystem you have to increase some limits in the latex configuration
of your system, the README tells more about this).
It also allows cross-references between the subsystems (it generates doxygen
tag files).
Currently the docs are generated in OBJDIR, but this may change after
coordination with doc@. The makefile is prepared to generate/move various
parts of the generated docs to different destinations.
TARGET_ARCH is respected and some env-vars are set for architecture specific
handling of the source (the README tells more).
Subsystems for which docs are generated:
- cam - crypto - dev_pci
- dev_sound - dev_usb - geom
- i4b - kern - libkern
- linux - net80211 - netgraph
- netinet - netinet6 - netipsec
- opencrypto - vm
