25e168c12a Add an updating entry for the recent change in network stack locking 
default for debug.mpsafenet, pointing at the recent announcement and
things to try if instability is experienced.

d243747d92 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel 
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

the time being.  Also add a note that says we are going to remove the
band-aides for 4.early -> 6.0 after 5.3-RELEASE so people get used to
the idea, even though it has been planned since before 5.0 was
released.

fe9f220a60 Align netgraph message fields ready for 64-bit (and 128 bit :-) machines. 
requires a recompile of netgraph users.
Also change the size of a field in the bluetooth code
that was waiting for the next change that needed recompiles so
it could piggyback its way in.

99fe82d8e6 Ports related rc.d cleanups: 
o Separate out local (ports) scripts that use rc.d, and the old style
  startup/shutdown scripts and execute them separately. On startup the
  rc.d style scripts are executed first and then the old-style scripts.
  On shutdown, exactly the reverse happens.
o The rc.d ports scripts should now behave more like base system scripts.
  Scripts ending in .sh will be sourced into the current shell, while the
  rest will be executed in a subshell. Previously, all ports scripts,
  regardless of the .sh suffix, were executed in a subshell.
o The parent script, /etc/rc.d/localpkg, passes its command line arguments
  straight to the rc.d ports scripts. This means they should now honor
  faststop and faststart commands as well. Old style scripts, should not see
  any differences. They will still get either a start or stop command.
o The initial phrase shown during shutdown has been changed to use
  "local packages" instead of "daemon processes" to be more inline with the
  phrase used during local package startup. The phrases are also used only for
  old-style ports script startup/shutdown, whereas previously they were being
  used for both rc.d and old-style scripts. This should make startup/shutdown
  output a bit less ugly.

that used those old scripts has also been removed.

you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from

less space, I think 30MB is a good number.
