- this causes POSIX locking to use the thread group leader
(p->p_leader) as the locking thread for all advisory locks.
In non-kernel-threaded code p->p_leader == p, so this will have
no effect.
This results in (more) correct POSIX threaded flock-ing semantics.
It also prevents the leader from exiting before any of the children.
(so that p->p_leader will never be stale) in exit1().
We have been running this patch for over a month now in our lab
under load and at customer sites.

This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.
This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.
Insure that device mappings get MAP_PREFAULT(_PARTIAL) set,
so that 4M page mappings are used when possible.

to either enqueue or free their mbuf chains, but tcp_usr_send() was
dropping them on the floor if the tcpcb/inpcb has been torn down in the
middle of a send/write attempt. This has been responsible for a wide
variety of mbuf leak patterns, ranging from slow gradual leakage to rather
rapid exhaustion. This has been a problem since before 2.2 was branched
and appears to have been fixed in rev 1.16 and lost in 1.23/1.28.
Thanks to Jayanth Vijayaraghavan <jayanth@yahoo-inc.com> for checking
(extensively) into this on a live production 2.2.x system and that it
was the actual cause of the leak and looks like it fixes it. The machine
in question was loosing (from memory) about 150 mbufs per hour under
load and a change similar to this stopped it. (Don't blame Jayanth
for this patch though)
An alternative approach to this would be to recheck SS_CANTSENDMORE etc
inside the splnet() right before calling pru_send() after all the potential
sleeps, interrupts and delays have happened. However, this would mean
exposing knowledge of the tcp stack's reset handling and removal of the
pcb to the generic code. There are other things that call pru_send()
directly though.

New function getmemsize_pc98 is added in this commit, since PC98 is
quite different in obtaining memory size from IBM-PC. Many lines of
this function is shareable with IBM-PC's getmemsize function, but
sharing needs many #ifdef PC98 statements. Therefore, I gave up
sharing code with IBM-PC's and just added new function.
happens if you have a BIOS with a 'Plug & Play OS' setting and you leave
it set to 'Yes.' This is wrong for FreeBSD (and LoseNT): it should be set
to 'No.' Apparently it's still possible to map the iobase of the NIC and
have the card work by reading the config space manually (which is what
the driver does if pci_map_port() fails) but we need to warn the user to
do fix their machine anyway. Anyway, warn the user to check the 'Plug &
Play OS' setting in their BIOS if mapping the io space fails.
