- Implement proper combined mode decoding for Intel controllers to properly
identify SATA and PATA channels and associate ATA channels with SATA ports.
This fixes wrong reporting and in some cases hard resets to wrong SATA ports.
- Improve SATA registers support to handle hot-plug events and potentially
interface errors. For ICH5/6300ESB chipsets these registers accessible via
PCI config space. For later ones they may be accessible via PCI BAR(5).
- For controllers not generating interrupts on hot-plug events, implement
periodic status polling. Use it to detect hot-plug on Intel and VIA
controllers. Same probably could also be used for Serverworks and SIS.

root file system (starting with devfs and a synthesized configuration) can
contain directives for mounting another file system as root. The old root
file system is re-mounted under the new root file system (with /.mount or
/mnt as the mount point) to allow access to the underlying file system.
The configuration allows for creating vnode-backed memory disks that can
subsequently be mounted as root. This allows for an efficient and low-
cost way to distribute and boot FreeBSD software images that reside on
some storage media.
When trying a mount, the kernel will wait for the device in question to
arrive. The timeout is configurable and is part of the configuration.
This allows arbitrarily complex GEOM configurations to be constructed
on the fly.
A side-effect of this change is that all root specifications, whether
compiled into the kernel or typed at the prompt can contain root mount
options.
To protect against malicious software, we demand that the file name is at
a particular location (i.e. appended to the mdio structure) for it to be
treated as in-kernel.

This should make vnode_pager_getpages path a bit shorter and clearer.
Also this should eliminate problems with partially valid pages.
Having this method opens room for future optimizations.
To do: try to satisfy other pages besides the required one taking into
account tradeofs between number of page faults, read throughput and read
latency. Also, eventually vop_putpages should be added too.

Make it harder to exploit certain in_control() related races between the

Old scrolls tell that once upon a time IBM AT BIOS was known to put some
useful system diagnostic information into RTC NVRAM. It is not really
known if and for how long PC BIOSes followed that convention, but I
believe that many, if not all, modern BIOSes do not do that any more
(not mentioning other types of x86 firmware).
Some diagnostic bits don't even make any sense any longer.
The check results in confusing messages upon boot on some systems.
So I am removing it.

too coarse grained to be useful and the default value significantly degrades TCP
performance on moderate to high bandwidth-delay product paths with non-zero loss
(e.g. 5+Mbps connections across the public Internet often suffer).
Replace the outgoing mechanism with an individual per-queue limit based on the
number of MSS segments that fit into the socket's receive buffer. This should
strike a good balance between performance and the potential for resource
exhaustion when FreeBSD is acting as a TCP receiver. With socket buffer
autotuning (which is enabled by default), the reassembly queue tracks the
socket buffer and benefits too.
As the XXX comment suggests, my testing uncovered some unexpected behaviour
which requires further investigation. By using so->so_rcv.sb_hiwat
instead of sbspace(&so->so_rcv), we allow more segments to be held across both
the socket receive buffer and reassembly queue than we probably should. The
tradeoff is better performance in at least one common scenario, versus a devious
sender's ability to consume more resources on a FreeBSD receiver.

the way in which uma_zone_get_cur is implemented.
- Discontinue use of V_tcp_reass_qsize as a global reassembly segment count
variable in the reassembly implementation. The variable was used without
proper synchronisation and was duplicating accounting done by UMA already. The
lack of synchronisation was particularly problematic on SMP systems
terminating many TCP sessions, resulting in poor TCP performance for
connections with non-zero packet loss.

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).
