specified in the kernel config file - but setting options MAXMEM works
exactly the same. Userconfig overrides of this have not worked for
ages.
Also, change the getenv for the loader override to hw.physmem based on a
prior suggestion from Mike Smith. I think he still wants to change this
some, but this shouldn't get in his way. This is a forced setting of
the memory size, not a "cap". We probably should have a plain 'maxmem'
variable as well which does do a cap, without loosing the bios memory
configuration data.
memory size. If somebody wants to change the name, fine - I used this
since it's consistant with the config variable it replaces.
This is intended to replace the npx0 msize hack (which no longer works).
SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface. kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook. This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process. This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.
One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process. It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit. This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available". This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.
1. Rise is recognized in identdcpu.c.
2. The TSC is not written to. A workaround for the CPU bug is being
applied to clock.c (the bug being that the mP6 has TSC enabled
in its CPUID-capabilities, but it only supports reading it. If we
try to write to it (MSR 16), a GPF occurs.) The new behavior is that
FreeBSD will _not_ zero the TSC. Instead, we do a bit of 64-bit
arithmetic.

sure that i686_mem was only used when
1. CPUID had MTRR set (this was there before)
2. the CPU was GenuineIntel (not there)
3. the CPU is a 686 (also not there)
This should prevent any problems with CPUs that set MTRR but aren't
compatibile with Intel's interface (none that I know of yet.)
automatically hacks on the active copy of the IDT if f00f_hack()
has changed it. This also allows simplifications in setidt().
This fixes breakage of FP exception handling by rev.1.55 of
sys/kernel.h. FP exceptions were sent to npx.c's probe handlers
because npx.c "restored" the old handlers to the wrong copy of the
IDT. The SYSINIT for f00f_hack() was purposely run quite late to
avoid problems like this, but it is bogusly associated with the
SYSINIT for proc0 so it was moved with the latter.

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.
I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.
Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.
Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.
The old version only worked right when the time was read strictly
more often than every 1/HZ seconds, but we only guarantee reading
it every (1/HZ + epsilon) seconds. Part of rev.1.126-1.127 attempted
to fix this but didn't succeed. Detect counter rollover using the
heuristic from the old version of microtime() with additional
complications for supporting calls from fast interrupt handlers.
This works provided i8254 interrupts are not delayed by more than
1/(2*HZ) seconds.
This needs more comments, and cleanups for the SMP case, and more
testing of the SMP case before it is merged into RELENG_3.

- Remove all references to mfs from cpu_rootconf(). mfs_init is
called prior to cpu_rootconf(), so it can set mountrootfsname to mfs
and (more imporantly) set rootdev using the (bogus in Bruce's opinion)
special major number of 255.
* Re-work the resource allocation code to use helper functions in subr_bus.c.
* Add simple isa interface for manipulating the resource ranges which can be

ADMtek AL981 "Comet" chipset. The AL981 is yet another DEC tulip clone,
except with simpler receive filter options. The AL981 has a built-in
transceiver, power management support, wake on LAN and flow control.
This chip performs extremely well; it's on par with the ASIX chipset
in terms of speed, which is pretty good (it can do 11.5MB/sec with TCP
easily).
I would have committed this driver sooner, except I ran into one problem
with the AL981 that required a workaround. When the chip is transmitting
at full speed, it will sometimes wedge if you queue a series of packets
that wrap from the end of the transmit descriptor list back to the
beginning. I can't explain why this happens, and none of the other tulip
clones behave this way. The workaround this is to just watch for the end
of the transmit ring and make sure that al_start() breaks out of its
packet queuing loop and waiting until the current batch of transmissions
completes before wrapping back to the start of the ring. Fortunately, this
does not significantly impact transmit performance.
This is one of those things that takes weeks of analysis just to come
up with two or three lines of code changes.
