and this manpage is somewhat machine independent.
- Don't redundantly say that SMP support is present for all supported
architectures. Instead, say that it is present for all Tier-1
architectures.
- Note that an SMP kernel not booting on a UP machine is an i386-only
exception.
- Add a paragraph about hyperthreading support including some docco on the
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus sysctl ps@ recently added.
- Note that SMP support for alpha, ia64, and sparc64 debuted in 5.0.
ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
libthr. No changes were made to libpthread by request of deischen,
who will soon commit a real implementation for that library.

While beeing here also correct the following:
- list missing macros in the header
- document MALLOC_DEFINE and MALLOC_DECLARE in the SYNOPSIS section
- document additional include requirements for MALLOC_DEFINE
- M_NOWAIT is not 0 anymore
- remove rotted diagnostic messages
This is an optional feature, disabled by default.
This will be useful to people testing the various POSIX threading
libraries under -CURRENT but can easily serve other needs.

FreeBSD. This method attempts to centralize all the necessary hacks
or work arounds in one of two places in the tree (src/Makefile.inc1
and src/tools/build). We build a small compatibility library
(libbuild.a) as well as selectively installing necessary include
files. We then include this directory when building host binaries.
This removes all the past release compatibilty hacks from various
places in the tree. We still build on tip of stable and current. I
will work with those that want to support more, although I anticipate
it will just work.
Many thanks to ru@, obrien@ and jhb@ for providing valuable input at
various stage of implementation, as well as for working together to
positively effect a change for the better.
