o uniform the driver_intr_t parameter name to 'ithread'
o delete any reference to INTR_FAST
o document a bit the difference between the filter and ithread

- the issues with wakeup_one are due to address space clashes between
unrelated groups of threads.
- sleep() was removed in FreeBSD 2.2.
- date the page today, not 4 days ago.
- replace grammatically correct "woken" with "woken up" for
consistency with the function name.
- BIOCGDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRECTION get or set the setting determining
whether incoming, outgoing, or all packets on the interface should be
returned by BPF. Set to BPF_D_IN to see only incoming packets on the
interface. Set to BPF_D_INOUT to see packets originating locally and
remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing
packets on the interface. This setting is initialized to BPF_D_INOUT
by default. BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT are obsoleted by these but
kept for backward compatibility.
- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.
Note that libpcap has been modified to support BPF_D_OUT direction for
pcap_setdirection(3) and PCAP_D_OUT direction is functional now.

attribute. Also define some macros to manipulate one of these
structures. Explain their use in the extattr.9 manual page.
The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing
the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would
be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is
currently written as follows:
/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
*/
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eap, u_char **eac)
{
u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0;
int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen;
uint32_t ul;
pe = ptr + length;
nlen = strlen(name);
for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) {
p0 = p;
bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul));
pn = p + ul;
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (pn > pe)
break;
p += sizeof(uint32_t);
if (*p != nspace)
continue;
p++;
eapad2 = *p++;
if (*p != nlen)
continue;
p++;
if (bcmp(p, name, nlen))
continue;
ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen;
eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8);
if (eapad1 == 8)
eapad1 = 0;
ealength += eapad1;
ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2;
p += nlen + eapad1;
if (eap != NULL)
*eap = p0;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = p;

After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this:
/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.

ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eapp, u_char **eac)
{
struct extattr *eap, *eaend;
eaend = (struct extattr *)(ptr + length);
for (eap = (struct extattr *)ptr; eap < eaend; eap = EXTATTR_NEXT(eap)){
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (EXTATTR_NEXT(eap) > eaend)
break;
if (eap->ea_namespace != nspace ||
eap->ea_namelength != length ||
bcmp(eap->ea_name, name, length))
continue;
if (eapp != NULL)
*eapp = eap;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = EXTATTR_CONTENT(eap);
return (EXTATTR_CONTENT_SIZE(eap));
}
return(-1);

Not only is it considerably shorter, but it hopefully more readable :-)
want an equivalent of DELAY(9) that sleeps instead of spins. It accepts
a wmesg and a timeout and is not interrupted by signals. It uses a private
wait channel that should never be woken up by wakeup(9) or wakeup_one(9).

transition to mbuma (FreeBSD 5.3) and the fact that mbufs are now limited
almost entirely to packet storage, with straight UMA zones being used for
most other network data types.
Apart from minor cleanup of the text, it should document
in reasonable detail what the status of the code is.
RELENG_6 has some minor differences there in the way automatic
loading/unloading is handled, but hopefully this should be
fixed by MFC time.
The examples come from Max Laier and Sam Leffler.
