There are some timing concerns which I've yet to fully map out.
In any case, there's an existing software driven mitigation method
for TX interrupts and when TX'ing 11n frames, the whole frame itself
generates an interrupt rather then the subframes.
The ieee80211_swbmiss() callout is not called with the ic lock held, so it's
quite possible the scheduler will run the callout during a state change.
This patch:
* changes the swbmiss callout to be locked by the ic lock
* enforces the ic lock being held across the beacon vap functions
by grabbing it inside beacon_miss() and beacon_swmiss().
This ensures that the ic lock is held (and thus the VAP state
stays constant) during beacon miss and software miss processing.
Since the callout is removed whilst the ic lock is held, it also
ensures that the ic lock can't be called during a state change
or exhibit any race conditions seen above.
Both Edgar and Joel report that this patch fixes the crash and
doesn't introduce new issues.

- there's no reason the semantics of the -x flag are being explained in
the -a flag description
- be more precise regarding the relation between the -a flag and the
security.bsd.see_other_uids sysctl
- describe the format of the -t flag's argument
- 'con' no longer is a possible entry in the 'TT' column
- explain that the 'TT' column refers to pseudo-terminals via mere numbers
- add a hint in the 'tt' keyword description that a keyword 'tty' exists,
which will give the full terminal pathname

Even though POSIX allows us to return simply /dev/tty as a pathname
identifying the controlling terminal of the running process, it is nicer
if this function were actually useful, by returning the actual pathname
of the controlling terminal.
Implement ctermid() by using the kern.devname sysctl to resolve the
actual name of /dev/tty. Don't use devname(3), since it may return bogus
strings like #C:0x123.
POSIX/SUSvN. The sigwait(2) syscall does return EINTR, and libc.so.7
contains the wrapper sigwait(3) which hides EINTR from callers. The
EINTR return is used by libthr to handle required cancellation point
in the sigwait(3).
To help the binaries linked against pre-libc.so.7, i.e. RELENG_6 and
earlier, to have right ABI for sigwait(3), transform EINTR return from
sigwait(2) into ERESTART.

also use the streaming buffer of pre version 5/revision 2.3 hardware as
long as we stay away from context flushes (which iommu(4) so far doesn't
take advantage of). OpenSolaris does the same.
atomic operations behave as if the were followed by a memory barrier so
there's no need to include ones in the acquire variants of atomic(9).
Removing these results a small performance improvement, specifically this
is sufficient to compensate the performance loss seen in the worldstone
benchmark seen when using SCHED_ULE instead of SCHED_4BSD.
This change is inspired by Linux even more radically doing the equivalent
thing some time ago.
Thanks go to Peter Jeremy for additional testing.

Although I tried to fix this earlier by introducing HALDEBUG_G(), it
turns out there seem to be other cases where the pointer value is still
NULL.
* Fix DO_HALDEBUG() and the HALDEBUG macro to check whether ah is NULL
before deferencing it
* Remove HALDEBUG_G() as it's no longer needed
This is hopefully a merge candidate for 9.0-RELEASE as enabling
debugging at startup could result in a kernel panic.

As of FreeBSD 6, devices can only be opened through devfs. These device
nodes don't have major and minor numbers anymore. The st_rdev field in
struct stat is simply based a copy of st_ino.
Simply display device numbers as hexadecimal, using "%#jx". This is
allowed by POSIX, since it explicitly states things like the following
(example taken from ls(1)):
"If the file is a character special or block special file, the
size of the file may be replaced with implementation-defined
information associated with the device in question."
This makes the output of these commands more compact. For example, ls(1)
now uses approximately four columns less. While there, simplify the
column length calculation from ls(1) by calling snprintf() with a NULL
buffer.
Don't be afraid; if needed one can still obtain individual major/minor
numbers using stat(1).

Import the rest of HID improvements from the branch:
- improve report descriptor parser in libusbhid to handle several kinds of
reports same time;
- add to the libusbhid API two functions wrapping respective kernel IOCTLs
for reading and writing reports;
- tune uhid IOCTL interface to allow reading and writing arbitrary report,
when multiple supported by the device;
- teach usbhidctl to set output and feature reports;
- make usbhidaction support all the same item names as bhidctl.
