o remove IEEE80211_C_RCVMGT capability
o on transmit craft new nodes as needed using new ieee80211_find_txnode routine
o add ieee80211_find_txnode routine to lookup a node by mac address and
if not present create one when operating in ibss/ahdemo mode; new nodes
are dup'd from bss and the driver is told to treat the node as if a new
association has been created so driver-private state (e.g. rate control
handling) is setup
Obtained from: netbsd (basic idea)
blindy copying the node contents; this turns out to be a bad idea as we
add more state in the node for things like WPA
o track node allocation failures in ieee80211_dup_bss instead of the callers

on architectures that need to call cninit() before the machine is
ready to support mutexes (required by make_dev()).
- Remove make_dev() call from scinit() when flags indicate
unit is the system console, rely on sc_attach_unit() to
handle it.
- When trying to access current screen's status (scr_stat
structure) use the static one provided for the initial
system console if no dev_t is available.
- When calling make_dev() in sc_attach_unit() catch special
case of system's initial console and set up dev_t structure
to include pointer to console's scr_stat struct.

- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
don't try to unlock it and then relock it.
- Push Giant down into proc_rwmem() instead of forcing all the consumers
(including Alpha breakpoint support) to explicitly wrap calls to
proc_rwmem() with Giant.

not quite well by me - if kern.ps_argsopen was set to 0, users weren't
permitted to see arguments of even own processes.
But kern.ps_argsopen is going away, so just remove this check and leave
security checks for p_cansee() function.
1. This check if wrong, because it is true by default
(kern.ps_argsopen is 1 by default) (p_cansee() is not even checked).
2. Sysctl kern.ps_argsopen is going away.
completely understand], md_takeroot() runs before md_preloaded(),
rendering both useless.
As a fix, move the body (effectively one line!) of md_takeroot()
into md_preloaded(), and get rid of the stuff that has become useless.

the driver's RX ring head may fall behind the chip, causing the
stuck traffic, disordered packets, etc. Work around this by
adopting the technique of resyncing RX head used in dc(4) and
xl(4) drivers, but do it in a slightly different place to reduce
the number of resyncs needed.
Also, set the NIC's RX polling period to a more meaningful value,
to stop overloading the PCI bus (this also reduces the number of
resyncs by a factor of 3 or more in a long run; the actual number
is very dependent on a nature of the traffic).
Maintain the statistics counter as the hw.ste_rxsyncs sysctl.
