significantly reduces booting time when there is broken floppy disk drive,
controller, cable, BIOS, etc.
When the floppy controller interface is correctly implemented, disk change
signal (DSKCHG) is reflected in the Digital Input Register (DIR) at 0x3f7.
However, there are many cases that the signal is unusable. Moreover, some
BIOS does not reserve the port at all. In those cases, the register may not
function.
address is in the userland address space. The proper thing is either to choose
a virtual address in the kernel address space beyond the KVA, or to use
pmap_mapdev().

allocation failed, this is not required (and is arguably undesirable).
This matches the behavior of sonewconn() under the same circumstances.
locks and the unplock during uipc_rcvd() and uipc_send() by caching
certain values from one structure while its locks are held, and
applying them to a second structure while its locks are held. If
done carefully, this should be correct, and will reduce the amount
of work done with the global unp lock held.

process. UFS must check a whiteout name when it uses the
whiteout, but the current implementation does not check
the whileout name, so sometimes UFS writes over a wrong
whtieout. UFS *MUST* check the whiteout name to use a
corrent whiteout. This bug leads unionfs. panic.
This commit fixes this trouble.

we're unable to allocate the memory for a PTE, we'll wait until we can. If not,
we'll just return.
Use M_NOWAIT|M_USE_RESERVE to allocate PTEs, it is less aggressive than
M_NOWAIT alone.

done this in ptrace syscall, when a pid is large than PID_MAX, the syscall
will search a thread in current process. It permits 1:1 thread library to
get and set a thread's scheduler attributes.
unless current thread is realtime thread, in such case, we set a new zero
priority for it, notice we don't have per-thread nice, the priority
passed by userland is ignored here.
use by ABI emulators.
- Alter the interface of kern_recvit() somewhat. Specifically, go ahead
and hard code UIO_USERSPACE in the uio as that's what all the callers
specify. In place, add a new uioseg to indicate what type of pointer
is in mp->msg_name. Previously it was always a userland address, but
ABI emulators may pass in kernel-side sockaddrs. Also, remove the
namelenp field and instead require the two places that used it to
explicitly copy mp->msg_namelen out to userland.
- Use the patched kern_recvit() to replace svr4_recvit() and the stock
kern_sendit() to replace svr4_sendit().
- Use kern_bind() instead of stackgap use in ti_bind().
- Use kern_getpeername() and kern_getsockname() instead of stackgap in
svr4_stream_ti_ioctl().
- Use kern_connect() instead of stackgap in svr4_do_putmsg().
- Use kern_getpeername() and kern_accept() instead of stackgap in
svr4_do_getmsg().
- Retire the stackgap from SVR4 compat as it is no longer used.
we will initialize the label to biba/low for files that have been created
through an NFS RPC. This is a safe default given the default nature of our
NFS implementation, there is not a whole lot of data integrity there by
default. This also fixes kernel panics associated with file creation over NFS
while creating files on filesystems which have multilabel enabled with BIBA
enabled.

loading for the QLogic cards.
Because isp(4) exists before the root is mounted, it's not really
possible for us to use the kernel's linker to load modules directly
from disk- that's really too bad.
However, the this is still a net win in in that the firmware has
been split up on a per chip (and in some cases, functionality)
basis, so the amount of stuff loaded *can* be substantially less
than the 1.5MB of firmware images that ispfw now manages. That is,
each specific f/w set is now also built as a module. For example,
QLogic 2322 f/w is built as isp_2322.ko and Initiator/Target 1080
firmware is built as isp_1080_it.ko.
For compatibility purposes (i.e., to perturb folks the least), we
also still build all of the firmware as one ispfw.ko module.
This allows us to let 'ispfw_LOAD' keep on working in existing
loader.conf files. If you now want to strip this down to just
the firmware for your h/w, you can then change loader.conf to
load the f/w you specifically want.
We also still allow for ispfw to be statically built (e.g., for
PAE and sparc64).
Future changes will look at f/w unloading and also role switching
that then uses the kernel linker to load different ips f/w sets.

uma(9) will be used for memory allocation.
In case of problems or tracking bugs, there are more useful tools for malloc(9)
