When an NFS server is port-scanned nfsd sometimes exits. This has
happened 3 times the last few weeks.
Nfsd has been written to exit when accept(2) fails. Unfortunately
accept can sometimes make a "normal" return with errno ECONNABORTED
and in this case nfsd exits prematurely.
Solution:
Check for ECONNABORTED (and also EINTR, since nfsd uses signals)
and continue.

kernel BOOTP options is *not* required if the boot loader can pass
network configuration information to the kernel using the kernel
environment. As such, PXE doesn't require them. However, the NFS
options are required in the kernel (previously not documented).

must first attach to the traced process. If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued. For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors). It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time. When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace(). Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

sequence when machine is started without attached USB mouse. Only do
repeated attempts to re-open device if the usb module has been actually
loaded. Also fix broken logic in doing delays between open attempts - do
delays between attempts, not after each attempt.
Due to previous behaviour being very annoying for notebook owners this
is a good 5.2 MFC candidate.

tcp6_usr_bind(), tcp_usr_connect(), and tcp6_usr_connect() before checking
to see whether the address is multicast so that the proper errno value
will be returned if sa_len is incorrect. The checks are identical to the
ones in in_pcbbind_setup(), in6_pcbbind(), and in6_pcbladdr(), which are
called after the multicast address check passes.

avoid relying on the minimum memory allocation size to avoid problems.
The check is somewhat redundant because the consumers of the returned
structure will check that sa_len is a protocol-specific larger size.

allnodes multicast route if the routing table has not been initialized.
This avoids a panic during boot if an interface detaches before the
routing table is initialized.

setting the new process' p_pgrp again before inserting it in the p_pglist.
Without it we can get the new process to be inserted in a different p_pglist
than the one p2->p_pgrp points to, and this is not something we want to happen.
This is not a fix, merely a bandaid, but it will work until someone finds a
better way to do it.

thus matching the documentation.
Remove the now extraneous (and now conflicting) function declarations
in various libc sources. Remove now unnecessary casts.
