(1) Invoke cpp to bring in files via #include (although the old
/include/ stuff is supported still).
(2) bring in files from either vendor tree or freebsd-custom files
when building.
(3) move all dts* files from sys/boot/fdt/dts to
sys/boot/fdt/dts/${MACHINE} as appropriate.
(4) encode all the magic to do the build in sys/tools/fdt/make_dtb.sh
so that the different places in the tree use the exact same logic.
(5) switch back to gpl dtc by default. the bsdl one in the tree has
significant issues not easily addressed by those unfamiliar with
the code.
This is (almost!) enough to actually probe, attach, configure a default
port group and do some basic work. It's also totally hard-coded for
the Qualcomm Atheros DB120 board - it doesn't yet have any of the code
from OpenWRT which parses extra configuration data to know how to program
the switch. The LED stuff is also missing.
But, it's enough to facilitate board, PHY, switch and VLAN bringup,
so I am committing it now.

it works okay. As before it is unfinished: timeout aren't
driven by TCP session state. To enable the HASH_ALL mode,
one needs in kernel config:
options FLOWTABLE_HASH_ALL
o Reduce the alignment on flentry to 64 bytes. Without
the FLOWTABLE_HASH_ALL option, twice less memory would
be consumed by flows.
o API to ip_output()/ip6_output() got even more thin: 1 liner.
o Remove unused unions. Simply use fle->f_key[].
o Merge all IPv4 code into flowtable_lookup_ipv4(), and do same
flowtable_lookup_ipv6(). Stop copying data to on stack
sockaddr structures, simply use key[] on stack.
o Move code from flowtable_lookup_common() that actually works
on insertion into flowtable_insert().

all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

- netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving
100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels
(no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said
*moving* not *processing*);
- kqueue support (BHyVe needs it);
- improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC,
host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues.
The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature.
- optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications
that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies.
- segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs.
and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.
My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial
amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks.
There are some external repositories that can be of interest:
https://code.google.com/p/netmap
our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including
linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here,
such as python bindings.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap
a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support.
With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap
feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter
packets at 10-15 Mpps.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw
a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap
to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps
range per core for simple rulesets.
Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some
point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them.
And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better
than the version currently in 10 and 9.

Move the GPIOBUS lock macros to gpiobusvar.h as they are now shared between
the OFW and the non OFW versions of GPIO bus.
Export gpiobus_print_pins() so it can also be used on the OFW GPIO bus.

a new physmem.c file. The new code provides helper routines that can be
used by legacy SoCs and newer FDT-based systems. There are routines to
add one or more regions of physically contiguous ram, and exclude one or
more physically contiguous regions of ram. Ram can be excluded from crash
dumps, from being given over to the vm system for allocation management,
or both. After all the included and excluded regions have been added,
arm_physmem_init_kernel_globals() processes the regions into the global
dump_avail and phys_avail arrays and realmem and physmem variables that
communicate memory configuration to the rest of the kernel.
Convert all existing SoCs to use the new helper code.
This was an optimization used only by a few xscale platforms. Part of
the optimization was to create a direct map for all physical pages, and
that resulted in making multiple mappings of pages in a way that bypassed
the logic in pmap.c to handle VIVT cache aliasing. It also just generally
made the code more complex and hard to maintain for all SoCs.

get the Routerboard 800 up and running with the vendor device tree. This
does not implement some BERI-specific features (which hopefully won't be
necessary soon), so move the old code to mips/beri, with a higher attach
priority when built, until MIPS interrupt domain support is rearranged.
This also fixes asserts on removal of the module for the mpc74xx.
The PowerPC 970 processors have two different types of events: direct events
and indirect events. Thus far only direct events are supported. I included
some documentation in the driver on how indirect events work, but support is

preliminary versions of a new armv6 port. I took them and made them
