implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

Tested on: i386 (4 cpu box with a kernel module that used 4 threads
that randomly chose between read locks and write locks
that ran w/o panicing for over a day solid. It usually
panic'd within a few seconds when there were bugs during
testing. :) The kernel module source is available on
request.)
It should play nicely with the existing BSD ptys.
By default, the system will use the BSD ptys, one can set the sysctl
kern.pts.enable to 1 to make it use the new pts system.
The max number of pty that can be allocated on a system can be changed with the
sysctl kern.pts.max. It defaults to 1000, and can be increased, but it is not
recommanded, as any pty with a number > 999 won't be handled by whatever uses

lock_obj objects:
- Add new lock_init() and lock_destroy() functions to setup and teardown
lock_object objects including KTR logging and registering with WITNESS.
- Move all the handling of LO_INITIALIZED out of witness and the various
lock init functions into lock_init() and lock_destroy().
- Remove the constants for static indices into the lock_classes[] array
and change the code outside of subr_lock.c to use LOCK_CLASS to compare
against a known lock class.
- Move the 'show lock' ddb function and lock_classes[] array out of
kern_mutex.c over to subr_lock.c.
I couldn't find the ID for the EG1064 anywhere in our sources

- provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
touch every file [1]
- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)
MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)
Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
or not.

- Added support for ATI_fragment_shader registers for r200.
- Improved r300 support, needed for latest r300 DRI driver.
- (possibly) r300 PCIE support, needs X.Org server from CVS.
- Added support for PCI Matrox cards.
- Software fallbacks fixed for Rage 128, which used to render badly or hang.
- Some issues reported by WITNESS are fixed.
- i915 module Makefile added, as the driver may now be working, but is untested.
- Added scripts for copying and preprocessing DRM CVS for inclusion in the
kernel. Thanks to Daniel Stone for getting me started on that.
