To avoid clashes with a build-host's header files, especially on
*BSD, the host-tools versions of fdisk and disklabel search for
#includes such as disklabel.h, disklabel_acorn.h, disklabel_gpt.h,
and bootinfo.h in a new #includes namespace, nbinclude/. That is,
they #include <nbinclude/sys/disklabel.h>, <nbinclude/machine/disklabel.h>,
<nbinclude/sparc64/disklabel.h>, instead of <sys/disklabel.h> and
such. I have also updated the system headers to #include from
nbinclude/-space when HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H is #defined.
where the printing of `version' is already performed.
This has the benefit of allowing the copyright to be available
via dmesg(8) on platforms which need the `msgbuf' to be setup
in cpu_startup() before printed output is remembered.
- don't use managed mappings/backing objects for wired memory allocations.
save some resources like pv_entry. also fix (most of) PR/27030.
- simplify kernel memory management API.
- simplify pmap bootstrap of some ports.
- some related cleanups.
to select the maximum segment size for each bus_dmamap_load (up to the maxsegsz
supplied to bus_dmamap_create). dm_maxsegsz is reset to the value supplied to
bus_dmamap_create when the dmamap is unloaded.
wdc_regs structure, and array of which (indexed per channel) is pointed
to by struct wdc_softc.
- Move the resulting wdc_channel structure to atavar.h and rename it to
ata_channel. Rename the corresponding flags.
- Add a "ch_ndrive" member to struct ata_channel, which indicates the
maximum number of drives that can be present on the channel. For now,
this is always 2. Add an ATA_MAXDRIVES constant that places an upper
limit on this value, also currently 2.
registers are registers that overlap with others on many controllers, but
which may actually be distinct on some controllers. Right now, the two
shadows are:
- wd_status (usually overlaps wd_command)
- wd_features (usually overlaps wd_error)
Add a new helper function, wdc_init_shadow_regs(), used to initialize
the shadow register handles on controllers where they do actually overlap.

- wdc_xfer to ata_xfer
- channel_queue to ata_queue
and move them to <dev/ata/atavar.h> so they can be used by non-wdc ATA
controllers. Clean up the member names of these structures while at it.
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
