The wl(4) driver supports pre-802.11 PCCard wireless adapters that
are slower than 802.11b. They do not work with any of the 802.11
framework and the driver hasn't been reported to actually work in a
long time.

The si(4) driver supported multiport serial adapters for ISA, EISA, and
PCI buses. This driver does not use bus_space, instead it depends on
direct use of the pointer returned by rman_get_virtual(). It is also
still locked by Giant and calls for patch testing to convert it to use
bus_space were unanswered.

- Added a generic bhnd_nvram_parser API, with support for the TLV format
used on WGT634U devices, the standard BCM NVRAM format used on most
modern devices, and the "board text file" format used on some hardware
to supply external NVRAM data at runtime (e.g. via an EFI variable).
- Extended the bhnd_bus_if and bhnd_nvram_if interfaces to support both
string-based and primitive data type variable access, required for
common behavior across both SPROM and NVRAM data sources.
- Extended the existing SPROM implementation to support the new
string-based NVRAM APIs.
- Added an abstract bhnd_nvram driver, implementing the bhnd_nvram_if
atop the bhnd_nvram_parser API.
- Added a CFE-based bhnd_nvram driver to provide read-only access to
NVRAM data on MIPS SoCs, pending implementation of a flash-aware
bhnd_nvram driver.

This is a driver for a pre-ATAPI ISA CD-ROM adapter. As noted in
the manpage, this driver is only useful as a backend to cdcontrol to
play audio CDs since it doesn't use DMA, so its data performance is
"abysmal" (and that was true in the mid 90's).
The module works together with ipfw(4) and implemented as its external
action module.
Stateless NAT64 registers external action with name nat64stl. This
keyword should be used to create NAT64 instance and to address this
instance in rules. Stateless NAT64 uses two lookup tables with mapped
IPv4->IPv6 and IPv6->IPv4 addresses to perform translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Create lookup tables:
# ipfw table T46 create type addr valtype ipv6
# ipfw table T64 create type addr valtype ipv4
2. Fill T46 and T64 tables.
3. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
4. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64stl NAT create table4 T46 table6 T64
5. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from any to table(T46)
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from table(T64) to 64:ff9b::/96
6. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.
Stateful NAT64 registers external action with name nat64lsn. The only
one option required to create nat64lsn instance - prefix4. It defines
the pool of IPv4 addresses used for translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
2. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64lsn NAT create prefix4 A.B.C.D/28
3. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip from any to A.B.C.D/28
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip6 from any to 64:ff9b::/96
4. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.

* add ipfw_bpf_mtap2() function to pass mbuf to BPF;
* introduce new additional ipfwlog0 pseudo interface. It differs from
ipfw0 by DLT type used in bpfattach. This interface is intended to
used by ipfw modules to dump packets with additional info attached.
Currently pflog format is used. ipfw_bpf_mtap2() function uses second
argument to determine which interface use for dumping. If dlen is equal
to ETHER_HDR_LEN it uses old ipfw0 interface, if dlen is equal to
PFLOG_HDRLEN - ipfwlog0 will be used.

CloudABI executables already provide support for passing in vDSOs. This
functionality is used by the emulator for OS X to inject system call
handlers. On FreeBSD, we could use it to optimize calls to
gettimeofday(), etc.
Though I don't have any plans to optimize any system calls right now,
let's go ahead and already pass in a vDSO. This will allow us to
simplify the executables, as the traditional "syscall" shims can be
removed entirely. It also means that we gain more flexibility with
regards to adding and removing system calls.

Chelsio NICs are a bit unique compared to some other NICs in that they
expose different functionality on different physical functions. In
particular, PF4 is used to manage the NIC interfaces ('t4nex' and 't5nex').
However, PF4 is not able to create VF devices. Instead, VFs are only
supported by physical functions 0 through 3. This commit adds 't4iov'
and 't5iov' drivers that attach to PF0-3.
One extra wrinkle is that the iov devices cannot enable SR-IOV until the
firwmare has been initialized by the main PF4 driver. To handle this
case, a new t4_if kobj interface has been added to permit cross-calls
between the PF drivers. The PF4 driver notifies sibling drivers when it
is fully attached. It also requests sibling drivers to detach before it
detaches. Sibling drivers query the PF4 driver during their attach
routine to see if it is attached. If not, the sibling drivers defer
their attach actions until the PF4 driver informs them it is attached.
VF devices are associated with a single port on the NIC. VF devices
created from PF0 are associated with the first port on the NIC, VFs
from PF1 are associated with the second port, etc. VF devices can
only be created from a PF device that has an associated port. Thus,
on a 2-port card, VFs are only supported on PF0 and PF1.

default. At least initially, the feature to support multiple TCP stacks is
aimed at supporting advanced use cases and TCP development, but it is not
necessarily aimed at a wide audience. Therefore, there is no need to build
and install the extra TCP stacks by default. Instead, the people who are
using or developing this functionality can add the extra option to build/
install the extra TCP stacks.
However, we do want to build the extra TCP stacks as part of test builds
(e.g. LINT or tinderbox) to ensure that developers who are testing their
changes will know that their changes do not break the additional TCP
stack modules.
After this change, a user will need to add WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1 to
make.conf or the kernel config in order to build the extra TCP modules.

This is the initial framework to call into the MCI HAL routines and drive
the basic state engine.
The MCI bluetooth coex model uses a command channel between wlan and
bluetooth, rather than a 2-wire or 3-wire signaling protocol to control things.
This means the wlan and bluetooth chip exchange a lot more information and
signaling, even at the per-packet level. The NICs in question can share
the input LNA and output PA on the die, so they absolutely can't stomp
on each other in a silly fashion. It also allows for the bluetooth side
to signal when profiles come and go, so the driver can take appropriate
control. There's also the possibility of dynamic bluetooth/wlan duty cycle
control which I haven't yet really played with.
It configures things up with a static "wlan wins everything" coexistence,
configures up the available 2GHz channel map for bluetooth, sets a static
duty cycle for bluetooth/wifi traffic priority and drives the basics needed to
keep the MCI HAL code happy.
It doesn't do any actual coexistence except to default to "wlan wins everything",
which at least demonstrates that things do indeed work. Bluetooth inquiry frames
still trump wifi (including beacons), so that demonstrates things really do
indeed seem to work.
Tested:
* AR9462 (WB222), STA mode + bt
* QCA9565 (WB335), STA mode + bt
TODO:
* .. the rest of coexistence. yes, bluetooth, not people. That stuff's hard.
* It doesn't do the initial BT side calibration, which requires a WLAN chip
reset. I'll fix up the reset path a bit more first before I enable that.
* The 1-ant and 2-ant configuration bits aren't being set correctly in
if_ath_btcoex.c - I'll dig into that and fix it in a subsequent commit.
* It's not enabled by default for WB222/WB225 even though I believe it now
can be - I'll chase that up in a subsequent commit.
