defined based on WITH/WITHOUT_CTF settings, default is WITHOUT_CTF,
NO_CTF overrides WITH_CTF (used by Makefile.inc1)
- CTFCONVERT_CMD/NORMAL_CTFCONVERT are now defined to empty string
if make(1) can handle empty commands
- CTFCONVERT_CMD=... is a hack (should be defined to empty string instead):
make(1) should be taught to ignore empty commands silently in compat mode
(as it does in !compat mode, GNU make also silently ignores empty commands)
and to skip printing empty commands in !compat mode
- config(8) should generate ${NORMAL_CTFCONVERT} invocation without '@':
this will allow to simplify kern.pre.mk even more and lessen the number
of shell invocations during kernel build when CTF is turned off
- WITH_CTF can now be converted to usual MK_CTF=yes/no infrastructure

I/O from userspace, capable of line rate at 10G, see
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/
At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/
plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in
tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1]
In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel
with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code
that you can find in
sys/dev/netmap/head.diff
The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to
the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days
after talking to the driver maintainers.
Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G
cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re").
I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe".
Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties
can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me
for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices.

[1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory.
We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains
the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code
in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is
the policy used for all of userspace code.
Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the
manpages in the relevant subdirs.
This enables locking consumers to pass their own structures around as const and
be able to assert locks embedded into those structures.

curthread-accessing part of mtx_{,un}lock(9) when using a r210623-style
curthread implementation on sparc64, crashing the kernel in its early
cycles as PCPU isn't set up, yet (and can't be set up as OFW is one of the
things we need for that, which leads to a chicken-and-egg problem). What
happens is that due to the fact that the idea of r210623 actually is to
allow the compiler to cache invocations of curthread, it factors out
obtaining curthread needed for both mtx_lock(9) and mtx_unlock(9) to
before the branch based on kobj_mutex_inited when compiling the kernel
without the debugging options. So change kobj_class_compile_static(9)
to just never acquire kobj_mtx, effectively restricting it to its
documented use, and add a kobj_init_static(9) for initializing objects
using a class compiled with the former and that also avoids using mutex(9)
(and malloc(9)). Also assert in both of these functions that they are
used in their intended way only.
While at it, inline kobj_register_method() and kobj_unregister_method()
as there wasn't much point for factoring them out in the first place
and so that a reader of the code has to figure out the locking for
fewer functions missing a KOBJ_ASSERT.
