is of poor quality, and is now an obstacle to MP-ification. It was removed
ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.
This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the
kernel.
/usr/mdec/sbmips/ and document them in installboot(8) even though
it isn't really ported yet. also build the SBMIPS kernels.
unfortunately, sbmips has been broken since mips64 merge, but the
fix can happen in the evbmips version, which we might merge into
the older trees anyway.
XXX: releng can turn off sbmips* builds now for -current.

The commit includes:
- Flash layer, which gives a common API to access flash devices
- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer
- An example OMAP driver which is used on BeagleBoard or alike ARM boards
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion
at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
MD disktab where possible (everything but vax)
the MD disktab was often either empty, or contained entries even for disks
which support geometry autodetection (SCSI), and/or non-interesting/long
obsolete entries
the old records are still available in example disktab in
/usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab in case anyone would need them
needed to fully support the "new distrib world order"):
* remove unnecessary trailing ;
* clean up whitespace
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* add /dev/fd/* support [hp300]
* convert to new pty generation [hp300]
