worked out by observing RISC iX's behaviour, so it may be technically
wrong. The only implementations of IP-over-Econet for which I've got
sources don't support broadcasts.
Tested using broadcast ping from RISC iX to NetBSD, and using rwhod.
Use m_copydata() to preserve the Econet header, so we don't depend on
notionally-unused areas of an mbuf remaining untouched.
Check that ARP-over-Econet requests are exactly eight bytes long.
Use m_pullup() before trusting mtod().
Between them, these make reception of unicast ARP responses work properly.
time-related system calls through ioctls. For instance, if user daemon is able
to write to /dev/clockctl, then it is able to use the CLOCKCTL_SETTIMEOFDAY
ioctl on it, which will be equivalent to a settimeofday.

checks root privs, and a lower part that does the actual job. The lower part
will be called by the upcoming clockctl driver. Approved by Christos
Also fixed a few cosmetic things
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
occur if SPDB_CONF (and hence DEBUG). also convert the panic in
pci_conf_write() to a SPDB_CONF warning and a return.
this cleans up pcictl(8) support.
allocate memory from kernel_map but some of the objects are freed from
interrupt context, we put objects on a queue instead of freeing them
immediately. then in softdep_process_worklist() (which is called at
least once per second from the syncer), we process that queue and
free all the objects. allocating from kernel_map instead of from kmem_map
allows us to have a much larger number of softdeps pending even in
configurations where kmem_map is relatively small.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
device (rather, the device that carries that attribute) also
carry one or more attributes indicating which type of controller
it might be.
This will allow systems that might have AGP, but would never have
e.g. an Intel PCI-Host bridge, to trim out code that won't be used.
This prevents attaching multiple [E]ISA buses, which we don't support
(Is there any such thing to support? I'm skeptical) and avoids the
"panic: isaattach: ISA bus already seen" that occurs on some laptops
with docking stations and EISA boxes. Since there is only one [E]ISA bus,
logically, the ISA device probe will still find devices on the
docking station.
This does not address the problem of inserting or removing the docking station
at runtime.

attach time. Allow access to these regions in vga_pci_mmap().
Note: we also have to allow access to the legacy ISA "hole" in
vga_pci_mmap(), since the X server needs to be able to read
the legacy BIOS on many cards.
