Yes, I know that IFADDR ioctl is supposed to be deprecated... Note
that the patch was modified by me to fit better into the driver. -DG

While porting CAP to 386bsd/pk0.2.4 and now to FreeBSD Release 1.0
I found a couple of bugs associated with the packet filter. Here
are the fixes. I'm posting them here because they apply to
FreeBSD and 386bsd/pk0.2.4 and possibly to other *BSD.
The first occurs when using the packet filter to write raw
ethernet packets. The header consisting of the sender and
destination addresses and the protocol is removed and later
added back on, but with the byte order of the protocol reversed.
The fix ensures that the byte order in the protocol field is
swapped when it is removed.
The second fix ensures that SIOCGIFADDR works for BPF as claimed
in the man pages, by adding it to the ed driver. Similar fixes
will be needed for other ethernet drivers.

file override to disable fifo on 16550s:
I bought a board with two 16550's, but one of those ports has a mouse
on it. The sio driver always enables the fifo, which is a bad thing
for mice and X. The mouse is jerky and hard to use. The simple thing
is be to treat one of the ports as a non-fifo'ed UART, and I use the
flags option in my config file.
So, my config file has:
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 flags 0x2 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
(patch deleted)
following is a summary:
1) increased object cache back up to a more reasonable value.
2) removed old & bogus cruft from machdep.c (clearseg, copyseg,
physcopyseg, etc).
3) inlined many functions in pmap.c
4) changed "load_cr3(rcr3())" into tlbflush() and made tlbflush inline
assembly.
5) changed the way that modified pages are tracked - now vm_page struct
is kept updated directly - no more scanning page tables.
6) removed lots of unnecessary spl's
7) removed old unused functions from pmap.c
8) removed all use of page_size, page_shift, page_mask variables - replaced
with PAGE_ constants.
9) moved trunc/round_page, atop, ptoa, out of vm_param.h and into i386/
include/param.h, and optimized them.
10) numerous changes to sys/vm/ swap_pager, vnode_pager, pageout, fault
code to improve performance. LRU algorithm modified to be more
effective, read ahead/behind values tuned for better performance,
etc, etc...
cd.c:
Initialize channel info in CDIOCSETVOL ioctl.
Correct CDIOCSTOP and CDIOCEJCET ioctls to use scsi_stop_unit
instead of scsi_start_unit.
Add CDIOCALLOW and CDIOCPREVENT ioctls.
ch.h:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
scsi_base.c:
Add scsi_stop_unit routine.
sd.c:
Add mising indirection through sc_link to sd_get_parms routine
when checking for media loaded.
st.c:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
Clear the SDEV_WAITING flag in ststart if we do the wakeup call.
Cuddle { braces up where possible on if statements
Add missing splx(s) calls before some returns.
Remove extra semicolon that was keeping uha_init from returning
before the timeout occured. This should speed probing up quite
a bit!
0) FreeBSD additional include files additions
1) Rod's arpacom changes
2) Function type and return code cleanup, and all functions have correct
casting to the correct data types
3) Bugfix where driver would not function due to missing structure not
given a value.
4) General cleanup. (Theo did a lot already, I just did some more)
Removed com port comments, since we are about to depricate the driver.
Fix several plaes in LINT where people have been cutting and pasting using
xterms :-(
the device close routine. This works because the device close calls
the line discipline close (which only flushes the output buffers) and
the ttyclose() routine, which does little of nothing except screw with
the session and process group fields (which is what was causing all
the problems).
Further it implements crontab -e.
I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are
that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond
used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as
Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD.
NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING:
1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron
*EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in
/etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify
usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's
BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway)
2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy
in /etc from /usr/src/etc.
'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron
will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab.
3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note
that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself
and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab.
The default logfile file is the same as before:
syslog.conf:cron.* /var/cron/log
