HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

o uses v4 firmware instead of v3. A port will be committed to create
the bwn firmware module.
o supports B/G and LP(low power) PHYs.
o supports 32 / 64 bits DMA operations.
o tested on big / little endian machines so should work on all
architectures.
It'd not connected to the build until the firmware port is committed.
specify list of executables and/or rc scripts that should be executed
after firewall starts/stops.

one previously unknown feature (display contrast). While here, expand on
a comment and remove two defines left over from an old version of the code.
Also update man page to document the above changes, and correct grammar.

maximum file size limit. Default is UINT64_MAX when the option is
not specified. It was useless to set the limit to the total amount of
memory and swap in the system.
Use tmpfs_mem_info() rather than get_swpgtotal() in tmpfs_mount() to
check if there is enough memory available.
Remove now unused get_swpgtotal().

In the current code, the locking is completely broken and may lead
easilly to deadlocks. Fix it by using the proc_mtx, linked to the
suspending thread, as lock for the operation. Keep using the
thread_lock for setting and reading the flag even if it is not entirely
necessary (atomic ops may do it as well, but this way the code is more
readable).
- Fix a deadlock within kthread_suspend().
The suspender should not sleep on a different channel wrt the suspended
thread, or, otherwise, the awaker should wakeup both. Uniform the
interface to what the kproc_* counterparts do (sleeping on the same
channel).
- Change the kthread_suspend_check() prototype.
kthread_suspend_check() always assumes curthread and must only refer to
it, so skip the thread pointer as it may be easilly mistaken.
If curthread is not a kthread, the system will panic.
