- Document different semantics for ACPI_WMI_PROVIDES_GUID_STRING_METHOD
acpi_wmi.c:
- Modify acpi_wmi_provides_guid_string_method to return absolut number of
instances known for the given GUID.
acpi_hp.c:
- sysctl dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose to toggle debug output
- A modification so this can deal with different array lengths
when reading the CMI BIOS - now it works ok on HP Compaq nx7300
as well.
- Change behaviour to query only max_instance-1 CMI BIOS instances,
because all HPs seen so far are broken in that respect
(or there is a fundamental misunderstanding on my side, possible
as well). This way a disturbing ACPI Error Field exceeds Buffer
message is avoided.
- New bit to set on dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail (0x8) to
also query the highest guid instance of CMI bios
acpi_hp.4:
- Document dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose sysctl in man page
- Document new bit for dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail
- Add a section to manpage about hardware that has been reported
to work ok

inbound data waiting on a filedescriptor, such as a pipe or a socket,
for instance by using select(2), poll(2), kqueue(2), ioctl(FIONREAD)
etc.
But we have no way of finding out if written data have yet to be
disposed of, for instance, transmitted (and ack'ed!) to some remote
host, or read by the applicantion at the far end of the pipe.
The closest we get, is calling shutdown(2) on a TCP socket in
non-blocking mode, but this has the undesirable sideeffect of
preventing future communication.
Add a complement to FIONREAD, called FIONWRITE, which returns the
number of bytes not yet properly disposed of. Implement it for
all sockets.
Background:
A HTTP server will want to time out connections, if no new request
arrives within a certain period after the last transmitted response
has actually been sent (and ack'ed).
For a busy HTTP server, this timeout can be subsecond duration.
In order to signal to a load-balancer that the connection is truly
dead, TCP_RST will be the preferred method, as this avoids the need
for a RTT delay for FIN handshaking, with a client which, surprisingly
often, no longer at the remote IP number.
If a slow, distant client is being served a response which is big
enough to fill the window, but small enough to fit in the socket
buffer, the write(2) call will return immediately.
If the session timeout is armed at that time, all bytes in the
response may not have been transmitted by the time it fires.
FIONWRITE allows the timeout to check that no data is outstanding
on the connection, before it TCP_RST's it.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

I tried re-ordering ether_ifdetach(), but this created a new race
where sometimes, when under heavy receive load (>1Mpps) and running
tcpdump, the machine would panic. At panic, the ithread was still in
the original (not dead) if_input() path, and was accessing stale BPF
data structs. By using a dying flag, I can close the interface prior
to if_detach() to be certain the interface cannot send packets up in
the middle of ether_ifdetach.
handling in order to reduce interrupt overhead which results in
better performance.
- Call ether_ifdetach(9) before stopping the controller and the
callouts detach in order to prevent active BPF listeners to clear
promiscuous mode which may lead to the tick callout being restarted
which will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- Add explicit IFF_DRV_RUNNING checking in order to prevent extra
link up/down events when using dhclient(8).
- Use the correct macro for deciding whether 2/3 of the available TX
descriptors are used.
- Wrap the RX fault printing in #ifdef CAS_DEBUG in order to not
unnecessarily frighten users and as debugging was the actual
intention. Real errors caused by these faults still will be
accumulated as input errors. It might be a good idea to later on
add driver specific counters for the faults though.

longer useful for the FD_STYPE and FD_SOPTS ioctls to insist on being
issued on a writable file descriptor. Otherwise, there's no longer a
chance to set the drive type or options when a read-only medium is
present in the drive, as there is no way to obtain a writable fd then.
call ether_ifdetach(9) before stopping the controller and the
callouts. The consensus is that the latter is now safe to do and
should also solve the problem of active BPF listeners clearing
promiscuous mode can result in the tick callout being restarted
which in turn will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- honor parent DMA tag limitations, as man page requires,
- allow data buffer to be allocated within full 64bit address range, when
support is announced by hardware,
- add quirk, disabling 64bit addresses for broken chips, use it for MCP78.
This removes unnecessary PCI #includes dependency for systems with ATA
