things a bit:
- use dpcpu data to track the ifps with packets queued up,
- per-cpu locking and driver flags
- along with .nh_drainedcpu and NETISR_POLICY_CPU.
- Put the mbufs in flight reference count, preventing interfaces
from going away, under INVARIANTS as this is a general problem
of the stack and should be solved in if.c/netisr but still good
to verify the internal queuing logic.
- Permit changing the MTU to virtually everythinkg like we do for loopback.

DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).

controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.

Extend the loader to parse the root file system mount options in /etc/fstab,
and set a new loader variable vfs.root.mountfrom.options with these options.
The root mount options must be a comma-delimited string, as specified in
/etc/fstab.
Only set the vfs.root.mountfrom.options variable if it has not been
set in the environment.
sys/kern/vfs_mount.c
====================
When mounting the root file system, pass the mount options
specified in vfs.root.mountfrom.options, but filter out "rw" and "noro",
since the initial mount of the root file system must be done as "ro".
While we are here, try to add a few hints to the mountroot prompt
to give users and idea what might of gone wrong during mounting
of the root file system.

- Do not iterate int 15h, function e820h twice. Instead, we use STAILQ to
store each return buffer and copy all at once.
- Export optional extended attributes defined in ACPI 3.0 as separate
metadata. Currently, there are only two bits defined in the specification.
For example, if the descriptor has extended attributes and it is not
enabled, it has to be ignored by OS. We may implement it in the kernel
later if it is necessary and proven correct in reality.
- Check return buffer size strictly as suggested in ACPI 3.0.

and UFS2 supported, there's enough bytes left that we don't have to
nibble from the disklabel.
Thus, the entire 2nd sector is now reserved for the disklabel, which
makes the bootcode compatible again with disklabels that have more
than 8 partitions -- such as those created and supported by gpart.

The old BTX passed the general purpose registers from the 32-bit client to
the routines called via virtual 86 mode. The new BTX did the same thing.
However, it turns out that some instructions behave differently in virtual 86
mode and real mode (even though this is under-documented). For example, the
LEAVE instruction will cause an exception in real mode if any of the upper
16-bits of %ebp are non-zero after it executes. In virtual 8086 mode the
upper 16-bits are simply ignored. This could cause faults in hardware
interrupt handlers that inherited an %ebp larger than 0xffff from the 32-bit
client (loader, boot2, etc.) while running in real mode.
To fix, when executing hardware interrupt handlers provide an explicit clean
state where all the general purpose and segment registers are zero upon
entry to the interrupt handler. While here, I attempted to simplify the
control flow in the 'intusr' code that sets up the various stack frames
and exits protected mode to invoke the requested routine via real mode.
A huge thanks to Tor Egge (tegge@) for debugging this issue.

functions used in the bootloader. The goal is to make the code more
readable and smaller (especially because we have size issues
in the loader's environment).
High level description of the changes:
+ define some string manipulation functions to improve readability;
+ create functions to manipulate module descriptors, removing some
duplicated code;
+ rename the error codes to ESOMETHING;
+ consistently use set_environment_variable (which evaluates
$variables) when interpreting variable=value assignments;
I have tested the code, but there might be code paths that I have
not traversed so please let me know of any issues.
Details of this change:
--- loader.4th ---
+ add some module operators, to remove duplicated code while parsing
module-related commands:
set-module-flag
enable-module
disable-module
toggle-module
show-module
--- pnp.4th ---
+ move here the definition related to the pnp devices list, e.g.
STAILQ_* , pnpident, pnpinfo
--- support.4th ---
+ rename error codes to capital e.g. ENOMEM EFREE ... and do obvious
changes related to the renaming;
+ remove unused structures (those relevant to pnp are moved to pnp.4th)
+ various string functions
- strlen removed (it is an internal function)
- strchr, defined as the C function
- strtype -- type a string to output
- strref -- assign a reference to the string on the stack
- unquote -- remove quotes from a string
+ remove reset_line_buffer
+ move up the 'set_environment_variable' function (which now
uses the interpreter, so $variables are evaluated).
Use the function in various places
+ add a 'test_file function' for debugging purposes
