o gctl_delete_param() -- intended for parameters that are consumed
by geom(8) itself and which should not be passed to the kernel.
o gctl_has_param() -- intended to check if optional parameters are
present.
Both are needed by gpart(8) to process the optional parameter for
writing bootcode to a partition (as part of the bootcode verb).
However, the kernel is itself not involved in this matter and the
parameter needs to be removed from the request destined for the
kernel.
- Store the softc of the device in the 'si_drv1' of the cdev.
- Lookup the softc via 'si_drv1' in cdev methods rather than using the
minor number as a unit for devclass_get_softc().
- Lookup the device_t via the softc field in cdev methods rather than
using the minor number as a unit for devclass_get_device().
- Add a mutex to the softc to protect 'sc_opened'.
- Remove D_NEEDGIANT as all the smbus drivers are now MPSAFE and this driver
is now MPSAFE.
- Remove some checks for NULL softc pointers that can't happen and don't
bzero the softc during attach.
work. (Moreover, I don't believe that they have ever worked as intended.)
The explanation is fairly simple. Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE perform
vm_page_dontneed() on each page within the range given to madvise(). This
function moves the page to the inactive queue. Specifically, if the page is
clean, it is moved to the head of the inactive queue where it is first in
line for processing by the page daemon. On the other hand, if it is dirty,
it is placed at the tail. Let's further examine the case in which the page
is clean. Recall that the page is at the head of the line for processing by
the page daemon. The expectation of vm_page_dontneed()'s author was that
the page would be transferred from the inactive queue to the cache queue by
the page daemon. (Once the page is in the cache queue, it is, in effect,
free, that is, it can be reallocated to a new vm object by vm_page_alloc()
if it isn't reactivated quickly enough by a user of the old vm object.) The
trouble is that nowhere in the execution of either MADV_DONTNEED or
MADV_FREE is either the machine-independent reference flag (PG_REFERENCED)
or the reference bit in any page table entry (PTE) mapping the page cleared.
Consequently, the immediate reaction of the page daemon is to reactivate the
page because it is referenced. In effect, the madvise() was for naught.
The case in which the page was dirty is not too different. Instead of being
laundered, the page is reactivated.
Note: The essential difference between MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE is
that MADV_FREE clears a page's dirty field. So, MADV_FREE is always
executing the clean case above.
This revision changes vm_page_dontneed() to clear both the machine-
independent reference flag (PG_REFERENCED) and the reference bit in all PTEs
mapping the page.

o Replace an unconditional 30ms DELAY (yes, busy wait) with a check of the
SIBUSY bit in the SelfST register before accessing the eeprom. This changes
the time to read the EEPROM from 2 * 20 * 30ms (1.2s) to < 20*25us (.0005s)
and make the attach of the card tolerable when ethernet media is present.
Include data from the datasheet about why this works. While this is a 2500x
speed increase, it doesn't really matter at all once the card is probed...
o set dev earlier in softc.
ln(1) checks to see if the source of a symlink, i.e. the file it
should point to actually exists. The default is the old ln
behavior, that does not check, to avoid surprising people who may
be using ln(1) in scripts or other non-interactive places.

to support MII and to try and resolve some performance issues found when trying
to use the sn(4) driver on the Gumstix network boards.
For reference, the SMSC LAN91C111 is a non-PCI ethernet part whose lineage
dates back to Ye Olde Days of ISA. It seems to get some use in the embedded
space these days on parts lacking on-board MACs or on-board PCI controllers,
such as the XScale PXA line of ARM CPUs.
This also includes a driver for the SMSC LAN83C183 10/100 PHY.

The CTRL() macro seems to perform character to control-character
conversion (i.e. 'A' to 0x01) to lowercase characters. This is actually
not valid. If we use lowercase characters, conversions such as
CTRL('\\') and CTRL('?') will result to invalid conversions.
Because we must still support old source code that uses CTRL() (bad!),
we make CTRL() accept both forms. When the character is a lowercase
character, we perform the old style conversion.

- Add a private timer to manage transmit watchdogs rather than using
if_timer/if_watchdog.
