than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to
be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which
the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with
broken console since it is at the wrong speed.
- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.
This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.

to awaken all waiters when a contested mutex is released instead of just
the highest priority waiter. If the various threads are awakened in
sequence then each thread may acquire and release the lock in question
without contention resulting in fewer expensive unlock and lock
operations. This old behavior of waking just the highest priority is
still used if this option is specified. Making the algorithm conditional
on a kernel option will allows us to benchmark both cases later and
determine which one should be used by default.

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also
available from me upon request.

Second (PPS) timing interface. The support is non-optional and by
default uses the DCD line signal as the pulse input. A compile-time

Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.
The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.
The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.
Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.

Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now

found only many tv-cards.
We currently use more ore less evil hacks (slow_msp_audio sysctl) to
configure the various variants of these chips in order to have
stereo autodetection work. Nevertheless, this doesn't always work
even though it _should_, according to the specs.
This is, for example, the case for some popular Hauppauge models sold
sold in Germany.
However, the Linux driver always worked for me and others. Looking at
the sourcecode you will find that the linux-driver uses a very much
enhanced approach to program the various msp34xx chipset variants,
which is also found in the specs for these chips.
This is a port of the Linux MSP34xx code, written by Gerd Knorr
<kraxel@bytesex.org>, who agreed to re-release his code under a
BSD license for this port.
A new config option "BKTR_NEW_MSP34XX_DRIVER" is added, which is required
to enable the new driver. Otherwise the old code is used.
The msp34xx.c file is diff-reduced to the linux-driver to make later
modifications easier, thus it doesn't follow style(9) in most cases.
