o change rssi to be signed in ieee80211_nodestats
o add noise floor in ieee80211_nodestats (use an implicit hole to
preserve layout); return it as zero until we can update the api's
so the driver can provide noise floor data
o add a bandaid so IEEE80211_IOC_STA_STATS works for sta mode; when
all nodes are in the station table this will no longer be needed
o fix braino in IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO implementation; was supposed
to take a mac address and return info for that sta or all stations
if ff:ff:ff:ff:ff was supplied--but somehow this didn't get implemented;
implement the intended semantics and leave a compat shim at the old
ioctl number for the previous api
Note this changes the api for IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO but old binaries
will continue to work. FreeBSD_version bumped so apps can track the
change (no such applications are known to exist but just in case).
Extend i4b to support CAPI manager based ISDN controllers (CAPI manager is
part of c4b, CAPI for BSD). This may be a preparation to add CAPI for BSD to
the source tree, in case the decision to MFC c4b itself is positive. Until
then users of c4b at least do not need to build a new kernel or base system
to compile and run c4b.

Move the functionality controlled by "options TDFX_LINUX"
from 3dfx.ko to a separate module, 3dfx_linux.ko.
The option is retained in RELENG_6 for POLA reasons
while it has been turned into "device tdfx_linux" in HEAD.

The ObsoleteFiles removal/test targets
- check-old
- delete-old
- delete-old-libs
and the corresponding docs.
Note: Someone may want to have a look at the man-page and perhaps MFC
some other parts (unrelated to ObsoleteFiles).

most of the sysctl's (those which would introduce a new interface).
The spdif_enabled sysctl is still there (or more correctly: added
to another driver).
A rough overview what's there now:
- new driver for ATI chips (snd_atiixp)
- support for some Intel HDA chips in AC97 mode (no real HDA
support!), this doesn't work with every mainboard and is
subject to the wiring on the mainboard (no servicable parts
inside)
- MPSAFE and fixes for snd_als4000(4), snd_es137x(4),
snd_via82c686(4), snd_via8233(4) and snd_ich(4)
- 24bit and 32bit sound format support
- feeder infrastructure (format, rate) has been reworked, new
feeder (volume) has been introduced
- lots of LOR and panic issues fixed
- and a lot of small or not so small fixes I may have forgotten...
As noted in UPDATING: you may want to recompile mplayer (after booting
into the new world) to get all new features.
Tested by: a lot of people

- Mention that this is -STABLE
- Mention that only 5.3+ is supported for source upgrade
- When just building a kernel we assume that the user got a
system that is fresh enough
- The in-place update is supported for 5.x-STABLE and 6.x-STABLE
- Since we don't support systems that is prior to 5.3, don't
mention about mergemaster three years before.
- Since source upgrade from 4.x is no longer supported, we
are supposed that COMPAT_FREEBSD5X is better suited for the
source upgrade
- At the end, call this a -STABLE

by default, to match the reality that these has been turned off on
the 6-STABLE branch since 6.0-BETA6.
This is a direct commit against RELENG_6 since it is not applicable
for HEAD.

ifconfig_DEFAULT variable. Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
- Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
in the list of canidates.
- When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
options so nat works.
Approved by: re (network interface startup blanket)
support 4->6 upgrades, this is moot. Most 4.x installations even,
have things compatible with 5 at thsi point, but some don't, so I'll
leave it in the branch...
