o In pccard_ether add code to start children of a 802.11
device, that are configured in rc.conf.
o In devd.conf provide a regex matching all 802.11 devices,
and on match run pccard_ether to spawn children.

connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

Rationale: ident(1) is useful out of RCS, lot of scripts are using ident(1) and
failing when base is built WITHOUT_RCS.
This version is:
- fully compatible with RCS 5.7 ident.
- fully compatible with RCS 5.9 ident.
- passes all ident test from GNU RCS 5.9 test suite
This version has support for: svn extension for the Keyword id (double colon and
# before last $)
Différences with GNU RCS ident:
- no long options as found in GNU RCS 5.9 (but not commented there).
- '-V' reports nothing but has been added for compatibility.

This should make all consoles available, whether it
is VGA, HDMI, serial, or JTAG, but more importantly
enables all consoles when ttyu0 is not predictable.
For example, the Pandaboard ES apparently has three
consoles available, but the DB9/RS232 serial port is
ttyu2, so not available by default after the system
boots.

Of note:
- This commit adds native FreeBSD/arm release build support without
requiring out-of-tree utilities.
- Part of this merge removes the WANDBOARD-{SOLO,DUAL,QUAD} kernel
configuration files, for which the IMX6 kernel configuration file
should be used instead.
- The resulting images have a 'freebsd' user (password 'freebsd'),
to allow ssh(1) access when console access is not available (VGA
or serial). The default 'root' user password is set to 'root'.
- The /etc/ttys file for arm images now enable both ttyv0 and ttyu0
by default.

Now when a lib is marked as PRIVATELIB it is renamed into libprivate$foo instead
of being installed in /usr/lib/private and playing with rpath.
Also allow to install headers for PRIVATELIBS in that case the headers will be
installed in /usr/include/private/$foo
Keep the headers under a private namespace to prevent third party build system
to easily find them to ensure they are only used on purpose.
This allows for non base applications to statically link against a library in
base which is linked to a privatelib
Treating PRIVATELIBS as regular libraries allows to push them into our current
compatX packages if needed.
While here finish promotion of libevent as PRIVATELIB
Install header for bsdstat and libucl
