provides support for hardware-accelerated virtualization on NetBSD.
It is made of an MI frontend, to which MD backends can be plugged. One
MD backend is implemented, x86-SVM, for x86 AMD CPUs.
We install
/usr/include/dev/nvmm/nvmm.h
/usr/include/dev/nvmm/nvmm_ioctl.h
/usr/include/dev/nvmm/{arch}/nvmm_{arch}.h
And the kernel module. For now, the only architecture where we do that
is amd64 (arch=x86).
NVMM is not enabled by default in amd64-GENERIC, but is instead easily
modloadable.
Sent to tech-kern@ a month ago. Validated with kASan, and optimized
with tprof.
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.
node results in a non working config, despite following manual to get setup.
Remove a step for the user by creating a device node for veriexec by default.

for more than one of the -m -p -s -t args (and checks whether any were given
to pick one if not) to be more shell friendly.
Note that while the method here is the same as was discussed on the list,
the actual implementation is free of the typos, and just pure lunacy that
was in the code that was shown there.
Also note these changes are intended to be completely internal, there
should be no visible impact upon the way that MAKEDEV works.
ok:christos. Thanks to pgoyette for the code review.

and in PR port-amd64/51216 :
Create bare (no letter suffix) device names (block & raw) that
refer to the raw device ('c' or 'd' partition as appropriate).
This commit was delayed waiting to see if there was to be any more
discussion - there wasn't a lot.
Caution: this is going to consume 2 more inodes per disc device
configured, everywhere that devices are configured using MAKEDEV
mode 664 and group ownership set to 'gpio'. This allows controlled access
to specifically enabled gpio pins to members of the gpio group. See
gpioctl(8), and, gpio(4) for details.
console while populating a memory disk, use %CONSOLE_CMAJOR% instead
of 0, and let MAKEDEV.awk substitute the appropriate machine-dependent
major number.
This fixes a bug that I introduced in revision 1.82 dated 2007-03-11.
to the controller. This is compatible with the linux and FreeBSD
implementations.
Add the needed conversion for mfi ioctls in COMPAT_LINUX
Allocate a character major number, and create /dev/mfi0 by default
on amd64 and i386.
This allows (along with a hand-created /emul/linux/proc/devices file)
to run the MegaCLI linux binary provided by LSI.

Fix "MAKEDEV: bpp: unknown device" error on sparc{,64}, which is
observed in PR toolchain/45620 but not the fix.
Approved by releng.
