interface allows the ifnet structure to be defined as an opaque
type in NIC drivers. This then allows the ifnet structure to be
changed without a need to change or recompile NIC drivers.
Put differently, NIC drivers can be written and compiled once and
be used with different network stack implementations, provided of
course that those network stack implementations have an API and
ABI compatible interface.
This commit introduces the 'if_t' type to replace 'struct ifnet *'
as the type of a network interface. The 'if_t' type is defined as
'void *' to enable the compiler to perform type conversion to
'struct ifnet *' and vice versa where needed and without warnings.
The functions that implement the API are the only functions that
need to have an explicit cast.
The MII code has been converted to use the driver API to avoid
unnecessary code churn. Code churn comes from having to work with
both converted and unconverted drivers in correlation with having
callback functions that take an interface. By converting the MII
code first, the callback functions can be defined so that the
compiler will perform the typecasts automatically.
As soon as all drivers have been converted, the if_t type can be
redefined as needed and the API functions can be fix to not need
an explicit cast.
The immediate benefactors of this change are:
1. Juniper Networks - The network stack implementation in Junos
is entirely different from FreeBSD's one and this change
allows Juniper to build "stock" NIC drivers that can be used
in combination with both the FreeBSD and Junos stacks.
2. FreeBSD - This change opens the door towards changing ifnet
and implementing new features and optimizations in the network
stack without it requiring a change in the many NIC drivers
FreeBSD has.

Update the manpage to reflect this change.
- Always set the current position to the first null-byte when opening in append
mode. This makes the implementation compatible with glibc's. Update the test
suite.

Add some mention of the functions used by protocol implementations,
upcalls, and other general routines.
Not all functionality is documented; in particular:
o the *at() variants, which are useful only for implementing the
corresponding syscalls.
o soconnect2(), also only used to implement a syscall (socketpair()).
o sockargs(), which is essentually unused and only tangentially
socket-related.
o selsocket(), which is commented as being present solely for use by
netncp and netsmb.
o getsockaddr(), which is just a convenience shortcut for copyin().

Enforce the maximum value for the period sysctl.
The frequency systcl now allows the direct setting of the PWM frequency (it
will try to find the better clkdiv and period for a given frequency, i.e.
the ones that will give the better PWM resolution).
This allows the use lower frequencies on the PWM. Without changing the

Put the superblock in the correct possition for UFS2... There is a bug

flag has been added instead of FUTEX_WAIT to replace the FUTEX_WAIT
logic which needs to do gettimeofday() calls before the futex syscall
to convert the absolute timeout to a relative timeout.
Before this the CLOCK_MONOTONIC used by the FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET op.
When the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is specified the timeout is an absolute
time, not a relative time. Rework futex_wait to handle this.
On the side fix the futex leak in error case and remove useless
parentheses.
Properly calculate the timeout for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC case.

displays after a pause, use the difference in runtime divided by the
length of the pause as the percentage of CPU used instead of the value
calculated by the kernel. In addition, when determing if a process or
thread is idle or not, treat any process or thread that has used any
runtime or performed any context switches during the interval as busy.
Note that the percent CPU is calculated as a double and stored in an
array to avoid recalculating the value multiple times in the comparison
method used to sort processes in the CPU display.
