segments (except memory-mapped devices) in the ELF core file. This
is really nice. You get access to the data areas of all shared
libraries, and even to files that are mapped read-write.
In the future, it might be good to add a new resource limit in the
spirit of RLIMIT_CORE. It would specify the maximum sized writable
segment to include in core dumps. Segments larger than that would
be omitted. This would be useful for programs that map very large
files read/write but that still would like to get usable core dumps.

Converted at_shutdown queues to use the queue(3) macros.
object format of the executable being dumped. This is the first
step toward producing ELF core dumps in the proper format. I will
commit the code to generate the ELF core dumps Real Soon Now. In
the meantime, ELF executables won't dump core at all. That is
probably no less useful than dumping a.out-style core dumps as they
have done until now.

work for any vfs, since it leaves garbage pointers to memory
allocation control structures.
and use this when masking/unmasking interrupts.
Maintain a mapping from (iopaic number, int pin) tuple to irq number,
and use this when configuring devices and programming the ioapics.
Previous code assumed that irq number was equal to int pin number, and
that the ioapic number was 0.
Don't let an AP enter _cpu_switch before all local apics are initialized.
type numbers in vfs attach order (modulo incomplete reuse of old
numbers after vfs LKMs are unloaded). This requires reinitializing
the sysctl tree (or at least the vfs subtree) for vfs's that support
sysctls (currently only nfs). sysctl_order() already handled
reinitialization reasonably except it checked for annulled self
references in the wrong place.
Fixed sysctls for vfs LKMs.
when nfs is an LKM. Declare it in a header file. Don't forget to use
it in non-Lite2 code. Initialize it to -1 instead of to 0, since 0

NetBSD uses strcmp() to avoid this ugly global.

Device-drivers receive the call through d_strategy, if they have

This allows flash based devices to erase the sectors and avoid
pointlessly carrying them around in compactions.

The fix is to move currentldt to the per-cpu area. It includes
