- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
linking to this API (suggested by mux)
- Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
- Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
to express their intention explicitly.
- Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
- The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
- Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly
(tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).

From alc:
Move pageable pipe memory to a seperate kernel submap to avoid awkward
vm map interlocking issues. (Bad explanation provided by me.)
From me:
Rework pipespace accounting code to handle this new layout, and adjust
our default values to account for the fact that we now have a solid
limit on allocations.
Also, remove the "maxpipes" limit, as it no longer has a purpose.
(The limit on kva usage solves the problem of having two many pipes.)
application could cause a wired page to be freed. In general,
vm_page_hold() should be preferred for ephemeral kernel mappings of pages
borrowed from a user-level address space. (vm_page_wire() should really be
reserved for indefinite duration pinning by the "owner" of the page.)

how it is used. The last parameter was always FALSE.
Note: In theory, gcc would perform constant propagation and dead code
elimination to achieve the same effect as removing the last parameter,
which is always FALSE. In practice, recent versions do not. So, there
is little point in letting unused code pessimize execution.

word between the 8139C+ and the 8169. The 8139C+ has a 'frame alignment
error bit' (bit 27) but the 8169 does not. Rather than simply mark this
bit as reserved, RealTek removed it completely and shifted the remaining
status bits one space to the left. This was causing rl_rxeofcplus()
to misparse the error and checksum bits.
To workaround this, rl_rxeofcplus() now shifts the rxstat word one
bit to the right before testing any of the status bits (but after
the frame length has been extracted).
the time the card is inserted and the time that the card is
configured. This can lead to interrupt storms. The O2Micro suggested
workaround is to route the card function interrupt to IRQ1. It
appears from my testing that this is an acceptable workaround for most
chipsets (there's still some issue with the ricoh chipset).
Also, only look at the NOT_A_CARD bit when the bridge tells us there's
a card present. At least one test caused this to be true after the
card was removed, but the author couldn't recreate it with the
workaround in place. The change is more conservative than the
previous code, but still has the work around that wasn't present in
the older code.
note the existence of the 8169S and 8110S components. (The 8169
is just a MAC, the 8169S and 8110S contain both a MAC and PHY.)
- Properly handle list and buffer addresses as 64-bit. The RX and
TX DMA list addresses should be bus_addr_t's. Added RL_ADDR_HI()
and RL_ADDR_LO() macros to obtain values for writing into chip
registers.
- Set a slightly different TIMERINT value for 8169 NICs for improved
performance.
- Change left out of previous commit log: added some additional
hardware rev codes for other 10/100 chips and for the 8169S/8110S
'rev C' gigE MACs.
BGE_MACSTAT_MI_COMPLETE bit in the MAC status register as a link

the standard.
1) When the bridge tells us that we have a card that isn't recognized, we
use the force register to force the CV_TEST to run. This test causes the
bridge to re-evaluate the card. Once this re-evaluation process happens,
we get a new interrupt that may say it is ready to process. We try this up
to 20 times. Tests have shown that this appears to correctly reset the
'Unknown card type' problem that I saw on my Sony PCG-505TS.
2) Take a page from OLDCARD and always read the CSC register in the ISR.
Some TI (and it seems maybe Ricoh) chipsets require this to behave
properly. This work around appears to work due to some power management
protocols that were improperly implemented. Maybe it can be removed when
this driver supports the full PME# protocol described in the standards.
3) Minor additional debug printf when debugging is enabled.
4) Minor additional commentary for things that are obvious only after study.
# I'm committing this from my Sony PCG-505TS using shared PCI interrupts
# and NEWCARD, but there are some issues with the Ricoh bridge still, but
# at least now I can boot with the card inserted and have it work.
a reference to the containing object. The purpose of the reference
being to prevent the destruction of the object and an attempt to free
the wired page. (Wired pages can't be freed.) Unfortunately, this
approach does not work. Some operations, like fork(2) that call
vm_object_split(), can move the wired page to a difference object,
thereby making the reference pointless and opening the possibility
of the wired page being freed.
A solution is to use vm_page_hold() in place of vm_page_wire(). Held
pages can be freed. They are moved to a special hold queue until the
hold is released.
