branch prediction optimization for LINT, because the kernel was too
large. This commit now removes it altogether since it causes build
failures for GENERIC kernels and the various applicable trends are
such that one can expect that it these failure will cause more
problems than they're worth in the future. These trends include:
1. Alpha was demoted from tier 1 to tier 2 due to lack of active
support. The number of people willing to fix build breakages
is not likely to increase and those developers that do have the
gumption to test MI changes on alpha are not likely to spend
time fixing unexpected build failures first.
2. The kernel will only increase in size. Even though stripped-down
kernels do link without problems now, compiler optimizations (like
inlining) and new (non-optional) functionality will likely cause
stripped-down kernels to break in the future as well.
So, with my asbestos suit on, get rid of potential problems before
they happen.

we don't attach any devices. This was leaving stale device_t's

substantially change the number of crashes that I saw. Both the old
code and the new code seemed to produce the same crashes from the usb
layer. Since the new code also solves a close() crash, go with it
until the underlying issues wrt devices going away can be addressed.
It specifies the default number of retries per a name server.
This makes the code consistent with the manpage and allows to
kill another constant in res_init.c that should have been a
#define'd parameter. (This appears to be a case when the manpage
was better than the code, so the latter was to be fixed.)

Allowing the installation of labels addressing as much of the disk as

to implement and should reduce confusion.

BPFD_LOCK() when removing a descriptor from an interface descriptor
list. Hold both over the operation, and do a better job at
maintaining the invariant that you can't find partially connected
descriptors on an active interface descriptor list.
This appears to close a race that resulted in the kernel performing
a NULL pointer dereference when BPF sessions are detached during
heavy network activity on SMP systems.

Fix a problem in previous: we can't blindly assume that we have
wincnt entries available at the offset the file has been found. If the dos
directory entry is not preceded by appropriate number of long name
entries (happens e.g. when the filesystem is corrupted, or when
the filename complies to DOS rules and doesn't use any long name entry),
we would overwrite random directory entries.
There are still some problems, the whole thing has to be revisited and solved
right.

Fix a panic that occurred when trying to traverse a corrupt msdosfs
filesystem. With this particular corruption, the code in pcbmap()
would compute an offset into an array that was way out of bounds,
so check the bounds before trying to access and return an error if
the offset would be out of bounds.

device and module naming. The following files were repo-copied:
csa.4 -> snd_csa.4
gusc.4 -> snd_gusc.4
maestro3.4 -> snd_maestro3.4
sbc.4 -> snd_sbc.4
uaudio.4 -> snd_uaudio.4
The pcm(4) manpage wasn't renamed to sound(4) as there are nearby
plans to rename "device sound" to "device snd", to address the
ambiguity in naming, so pcm.4 is linked to sound.4 for the moment.
(We also mumble something about the future plans in the manpage.)
Removed links from pcm.4 to als4000.4 and emu10k1.4 -- they now
have their own snd_*.4 manpages.
Fixes for recent snd_*.4 manpages: added missing "device sound"
to the SYNOPSIS, fixed hints (they are still "hint.pcm.<unit>"
in most cases).

The reference counts are there to block detach until the sleepers in
read/write/ioctl have gotten out, not to prevent the open device from
going away. Restore the old behavior so that we have a chance to wake
up sleepers when the usb device goes away, so they can properly return
EIO back to the caller when this happens.
Otherwise, we have a guarnateed panic waiting to happen when a device
detaches with an active read channel.
This should be merged to 5 asap.
and was propagated to nearly every platform. The boundary of the child needs
to consider the boundary of the parent and pick the minimum of the two, not
the maximum. However, if either is 0 then pick the appropriate one.
This bug was exposed by a recent change to ATA, which should now be fixed by
this change. The alignment and maxsegsz tag attributes likely also need
a similar review in the near future.
This is a MT5 candidate.

intentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime

find at a given index is the one that was there last time they looked.
Due to space constraints ifi_epoch is a time_t rather then a struct
timeval. SNMP would prefer higher precision, but this unlikely to be

the alignment and boundary constraints are being respected, which
fixes the reported ATA problems with SiI chips.
I consider the busdma implementation worrisome nonetheless. Not
only is there too much MI code duplicated in MD files, there's a
lot of questionable code. I smell a wholesale, cross-platform
overhaul coming...
