Rather than rendering a different version of the release notes for
every architecture, we now produce a single release notes document
that covers all architectures.
This change makes document maintenence easier (because there is no
longer a need to support each architecture specifically in the
src/release/doc/ and www/ build infrastructures). It's also
easier to read because there is now exactly one release notes document,
and readers can see changes that affected various subsets of
architectures.

rather than treating them as a fatal exception and halting. At least one
storage BIOS (some newer mpt(4) parts) have a breakpoint instruction in
their disk read routine.

Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.
driving xl_watchdog() in order to avoid races accessing if_timer.
While at it relax the watchdog a bit by reloading it in xl_txeof()/
xl_txeof_90xB() if there are still packets enqueued.

- Don't bother to set if_mtu to ETHERMTU, ether_ifattach() does that.

This operation is a part of a reorganization of the release notes,
which will (when completed) provide one version of the release notes
covering all architectures, rather than multiple versions (each
describing one architecture).

of the nvenet lib upgrade (the constant went from 63 (2^n - 1) to
32 (2^n)). For reasons that are not obvious to me this fixes the driver
on at least some NICs.

makes restore less efficient, but it makes a bigger effore to read
corrupted dumps. Specifiacally, when in degreded mode:
1) Restore shifts the input by 1 byte if it sees a problem,
rather than one tape block.
2) It doesn't assume the inodes are stored in ascending order.
3) It turns some panics into warning printfs.
We also verify some fields more carefully than before.
There's probably more a degreded mode could do, but this seems to
help a lot.

with- not hope for the best. Change some things which were gated
off of 24XX to be gated off of 2K login support. Convert some
isp_prt calls to xpt_print calls.
Add a note that suggests a cleanup.
Note: This patch was derived based on looking at the pvrxxx/pvr250
ports' Makefiles only, and may be incomplete. It is not derived from
anything I saw from Hauppage.
was written into a user's address space. The fix is to modify uiomove_fromphys
to sync the icache when an executable user-space page is written into.
Alan Cox suggested that there should probably be a higher-level interface
to this in the ptrace code, but agreed that this is an OK short-term solution.
Files changed:
pmap.h - declaration of pmap_page_executable()
pmap_dispatch.c - pass through the page_executable call to the mmu object
mmu_oea.c - implement the page_executable method by examining the PTE_EXEC
field in the vm_page_t
uio_machdep.c - in uiomove_fromphys(), if the op was a UIO_WRITE to user-space,
and if the page is executable, sync the icache since this is at the least
a breakpoint-write from gdb.
