As suggested more than once in the lists, drop -M from flags to mfs
for /tmp and /var. This makes the memory discs swap-backed instead
of malloc-backed. A swap-backed memory disc should not be worse
than a malloc-backed one in any scenario because it will start
touching swap only when needed. OTOH, a malloc-backed disc can
starve limited kernel resources and evenually crash the system.
Reflect the change in the rc.conf(5) manpage. Also stop telling
lies there about softupdates: it does not waste disc space, it
just can delay its freeing.

Implement ifnet cloning for tun(4)/tap(4).
Make devfs cloning a sysctl/tunable which defaults to on.
If devfs cloning is enabled, only the super-user may create
tun(4)/tap(4)/vmnet(4) instances. Devfs cloning is still enabled by
default; it may be disabled from the loader or via sysctl with
"net.link.tap.devfs_cloning" and "net.link.tun.devfs_cloning".
Disabling its use affects potentially all tun(4)/tap(4) consumers
including OpenSSH, OpenVPN and VMware.

and subsequent feedback received. See the commit log

The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).
Note that in RELENG_6 sys/arm/xscale/ixp425, sys/dev/ipw and
sys/dev/mxge do not exist or have not been updated to use firmware(9).

+ add debugging code IWI_LOCK_CHECK() to print (under sysctl debug.iwi)
missing locks;
+ make sure that iwi_ioctl() wait until the previous iwi_cmd() terminates.
Align the interfaces for the various watchdogs and make the interface
behave as expected.
Also:
- Return an error if WD_PASSIVE is passed in to the ioctl as only
WD_ACTIVE is implemented at the moment. See sys/watchdog.h for an
explanation of the difference between WD_ACTIVE and WD_PASSIVE.
- Remove the I_HAVE_TOTALLY_LOST_MY_SENSE_OF_HUMOR define. If you've
lost your sense of humor, than don't add a define.
Specific changes:
i80321_wdog.c
Don't roll your own passive watchdog tickle as this would defeat the
purpose of an active (userland) watchdog tickle.
ichwd.c / ipmi.c:
WD_ACTIVE means active patting of the watchdog by a userland process,
not whether the watchdog is active. See sys/watchdog.h.
kern_clock.c:
(software watchdog) Remove a check for WD_ACTIVE as this does not make
sense here. This reverts r1.181.

Don't exit from watchdogd on receiving a signal if we cannot stop the watchdog.
That'll require -KILL. This avoids resetting your system on one of the
watchdogs that you cannot disable.

background_dhclient_<ifn> rc.conf variables.
- Default to sending a client identifer.
- When an invalid host name option is sent, delete it and accept the
lease.
- Fix usage, the call to getopt, and a typo in rc.d/dhclient.
Sync the hardware list with the driver and with what I could find on

Also remove the module from the FILES section, it's already covered in
