assignments to the literal values it would have returned.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.
like, determines the path to a pid file as it is specified in a conf file.
Use the new feature for rc.d/named and rc.d/devd, the 2 services in the
base that list their pid files in their conf files.
Remove the now-obsolete named_pidfile, and warn users if they have it set.

- Add rc.d/stf and rc.d/faith for stf(4) and faith(4).
- Remove rc.d/auto_linklocal and rc.d/network_ipv6.
- Move rc.d/sysctl to just before FILESYSTEMS because rc.d/netif
depends on some sysctl variables.

to allow them to do a "clean" shutdown.
I purposely avoided making changes to network-related stuff since the
system shutting down is pretty conclusive, and there may be complicated
dependencies on the network that I would rather not try to unravel.
I also skipped kerberos-related stuff for the reasons above, and
because I have no way to test it.
notification so all interfaces including pseudo are reported. When netif
creates the clones at startup devctl_disable has not been turned off yet so the
interfaces will not be initialised twice, enforce this by adding an explicit
order between rc.d/netif and rc.d/devd.
This change allows actions to taken in userland when an interface is cloned
and the pseudo interface will be automatically configured if a ifconfig_<int>=""
line exists in rc.conf.

critical remote systems. This lets us run commands from devd that
aren't on the / partition. This also means we can remove some kludges
from the networking startup that I added a while ago that caused other
problems.
There's still a race in starting devd that needs to be fixed in devd
so that things present at boot will be configured by the time devd
does daemon(). That race will be fixed later.
Instead, load them as part of the rc.d system. This allows us to prioritize
the initidiskless script so it runs before the configuration files are loaded
and allows us to get rid of the exit 2 hack in /etc/rc. The exit 2 never
worked anyway since it did not unset the prior configuration, causing the
diskless code to not operate properly.
Do a major cleanup and revamping of the diskless code for RCNG. This will
be backported to the non-RCNG scripts as well as -stable.
