Now it is user-controlled through ifconfig(8).
The former ``automagic'' way of operation created more
trouble than good. First, VLAN_MTU consumers other than
vlan(4) had appeared, e.g., ng_vlan(4). Second, there was
no way to disable VLAN_MTU manually if it were causing
trouble, e.g., data corruption.
Dropping the ``automagic'' should be completely invisible
to the user since
a) all the drivers supporting VLAN_MTU
have it enabled by default, and in the first place
b) there is only one driver that can really toggle VLAN_MTU
in the hardware under its control (it's fxp(4), to which
I added VLAN_MTU controls to illustrate the principle.)
the system" resource limit code: When checking if the caller has superuser
privileges, we should be checking the *real* user, not the *effective*
user. (In general, resource limiting is done based on the real user, in
order to avoid resource-exhaustion-by-setuid-program attacks.)
Now that a SUSER_RUID flag to suser_cred exists, use it here to return
this code to its correct behaviour.

somewhat clearer, but more importantly allows for a consistent naming
scheme for suser_cred flags.
The old name is still defined, but will be removed in a few days (unless I
hear any complaints...)

ACPI_DEBUG. This upset the ordering that acpi_probe_order() was meant to
provide, causing devices to attach before the sysresource object. This
debugging feature has been unnecessary for a while so just remove it.

vinumdrive geom with an exclusive bit. This should fix the problem
when underlying partitions overlap (i.e. the 'a' partition is at
the same offset as the 'c' partition).
Ideas borrowed from pjd@, quite a bit of testing by
Matthias Schuendehuette <msch@snafu.de>.
Properly wait for not busy and introduce a timeout for devices not
setting busy (as they should).
Leave a printf in there that states how long the wait was, as I'd like
to get an idea of the variations here. The time needed seems also to be
affected by whether a medium is present or not.
FOREACH_SAFE. Remove bad cast of retp and instead use an additional
arg to pass back the number of valid outputs. Use the package convenience
functions for parsing packages.
o Separate out local (ports) scripts that use rc.d, and the old style
startup/shutdown scripts and execute them separately. On startup the
rc.d style scripts are executed first and then the old-style scripts.
On shutdown, exactly the reverse happens.
o The rc.d ports scripts should now behave more like base system scripts.
Scripts ending in .sh will be sourced into the current shell, while the
rest will be executed in a subshell. Previously, all ports scripts,
regardless of the .sh suffix, were executed in a subshell.
o The parent script, /etc/rc.d/localpkg, passes its command line arguments
straight to the rc.d ports scripts. This means they should now honor
faststop and faststart commands as well. Old style scripts, should not see
any differences. They will still get either a start or stop command.
o The initial phrase shown during shutdown has been changed to use
"local packages" instead of "daemon processes" to be more inline with the
phrase used during local package startup. The phrases are also used only for
old-style ports script startup/shutdown, whereas previously they were being
used for both rc.d and old-style scripts. This should make startup/shutdown
output a bit less ugly.

Has Reservations: eik
(in particular, bge(4) hasn't supported rxcsum since if_bge.c#1.5)
Clean up some aspects of capabilities usage, i.e. stop using
if_hwassist to see whether we are doing offload now because if_hwassist
is for TCP/IP layer and it is subordinate to if_capenable.

vmspace to the new vmspace in vmspace_exec() is mostly wasted effort. With
one exception, vm_swrss, the copied fields are immediately overwritten.
Instead, initialize these fields to zero in vmspace_alloc(), eliminating a
bcopy() from vmspace_exec() and a bzero() from vmspace_fork().

In microbenchmarks, this appears to reduce the cost of
pipe();close();close() on UP by 10%, and SMP by 7%. The vast majority
of the cost of allocating a pipe remains VM magic.
