detachment of vfs sysctls. Unloading of vfs LKMs doesn't actually
work for any vfs, since it leaves garbage pointers to memory
allocation control structures.
and use this when masking/unmasking interrupts.
Maintain a mapping from (iopaic number, int pin) tuple to irq number,
and use this when configuring devices and programming the ioapics.
Previous code assumed that irq number was equal to int pin number, and
that the ioapic number was 0.
Don't let an AP enter _cpu_switch before all local apics are initialized.
generating a trap 12 panic. The code blindly assumed that in the event
of a transmit error, the packet that caused the error would still be
at the head of the driver's transmit queue (sc->xl_cdata.xl_tx_head).
However in the case of error 82 (which indicates that a transmit error
occurred after part of the transmit FIFO memory has been reclaimed)
this is not true: the TX queue has already been flushed, and the
pointer to the head of the queue is NULL, so trying to dereference
the pointer to find the transmit descriptor address causes a crash.
The code now checks for a NULL pointer before trying to reload the
chip's download pointer register. There may still be error messages
printed warning of the transmit error, but no panic should occur.
Note that this eror code is only generated with "cyclone" chipsets
(3c900B, 3c905B, and presumeably the 3c980 server adapter). It should
only appear during periods of heavy traffic, probably only on
non-switched networks.

4.1.4. Experimental Protocol
A system should not implement an experimental protocol unless it
is participating in the experiment and has coordinated its use of
the protocol with the developer of the protocol.

Ensure that three of the structures are the size that binutils writes
them. I just love code that doesn't share header files to avoid
problems like these.
With this change rtld-elf works on alpha.
type numbers in vfs attach order (modulo incomplete reuse of old
numbers after vfs LKMs are unloaded). This requires reinitializing
the sysctl tree (or at least the vfs subtree) for vfs's that support
sysctls (currently only nfs). sysctl_order() already handled
reinitialization reasonably except it checked for annulled self
references in the wrong place.
Fixed sysctls for vfs LKMs.
when nfs is an LKM. Declare it in a header file. Don't forget to use
it in non-Lite2 code. Initialize it to -1 instead of to 0, since 0

NetBSD uses strcmp() to avoid this ugly global.
Our write protection of the kernel text on i386's doesn't actually
work in many cases:
- use of the 4MB page completely breaks it.
- CR0_WP isn't set until just before init is started, so the kernel
text is not write protected during kernel initialization.
device drivers about sectors no longer in use.
Device-drivers receive the call through d_strategy, if they have
D_CANFREE in d_flags.
This allows flash based devices to erase the sectors and avoid
pointlessly carrying them around in compactions.

XCVR value read from the EEPROM is completely wrong. I've had one report
of a 3c900 card that returns an xcvr value of 14, which is impossible

Add PCI vendor ID for the 3c980-TX server adapter card, which apparently
also uses the cyclone chip. Graciously supplied Mats O Jansson

Also noted by Mats, the 10mpbs cyclone adapters should be named 3c900B,
not 3c905B. I haven't actually encountered a 10mbps only cyclone adapter
yet, nor anybody who has one, but this makes sense given the naming
scheme used for the older boomerang adapters.
-current commit for st.c, kernel support for /bin/mt's 'comp' option.
(tested with exabyte and DAT tape units. Does not apparently work with
all SCSI tape's, though).
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
- Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions. These will be
obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
area becomes directly addressable.
- Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
and arbitrary type string with it. This can be used eg. for loading
splash-screen images etc.
- Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for
dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the
moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information
to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
can find it itself).
- Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS
for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want
to do this for KLD modules too.)
- Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'.
- Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
- Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
- Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
(not terribly useful for the average user)
- Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
- The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
/boot directory to use that name.
- Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
arch_readin()
