Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
means that the dynamic linker gets mapped in at the top of available
user virtual memory (typically just below the stack), shared libraries
get mapped downwards from that point, and calls to mmap() that don't
specify a preferred address will get mapped in below those.
This means that the heap and the mmap()ed allocations will grow
towards each other, allowing one or the other to grow larger than
before. Previously, the heap was limited to MAXDSIZ by the placement
of the dynamic linker (and the process's rlimits) and the space
available to mmap was hobbled by this reservation.
This is currently only enabled via an *option* for the i386 platform
(though other platforms are expected to follow). Add "options
USE_TOPDOWN_VM" to your kernel config file, rerun config, and rebuild
your kernel to take advantage of this.
Note that the pmap_prefer() interface has not yet been modified to
play nicely with this, so those platforms require a bit more work
(most notably the sparc) before they can use this new memory
arrangement.
This change also introduces a VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS() macro that picks
the appropriate default address based on the size of the allocation or
the size of the process's text segment accordingly. Several drivers
and the SYSV SHM address assignment were changed to use this instead
of each one picking their own "default".

done by Artur Grabowski and Thomas Nordin for OpenBSD, which is more
efficient in several ways than the callwheel implementation that it is
replacing. It has been adapted to our pre-existing callout API, and
also provides the slightly more efficient (and much more intuitive)
API (adapted to the callout_*() naming scheme) that the OpenBSD version
provides.
Among other things, this shaves a bunch of cycles off rescheduling-in-
the-future a callout which is already scheduled, which the common case
for TCP timers (notably REXMT and KEEP).
The API has been simplified a bit, as well. The (very confusing to
a good many people) "ACTIVE" state for callouts has gone away. There
is now only "PENDING" (scheduled to fire in the future) and "EXPIRED"
(has fired, and the function called).
Kernel version bump not done; we'll ride the 1.6N bump that happened
with the malloc(9) change.
to use generic VGA driver(s):
- Allow VGA drivers to use wsfont instead of builtin font.
- Add vga_reset() function, which will be called from MD consinit(),
to put VGA into text mode. This function is enabled by options VGA_RESET.

kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree

to char-cell based vga(4) driver, and fully compatible with existing
apps like XFree86. Currently it supports 80x25, 80x30, 80x40 and 80x50
text modes using emulation. You can enable it by specifying `options
VGA_RASTERCONSOLE' in your kernel config file.
Note that displaying multilingual text doesn't work yet. Necessary
code is already there, but userland stuff and some functionality isn't
ready for prime time yet. I'm working on them.
Define an attribute for each crypto algorithm, and use that attribute
to select the files that implement the algorithm.
* Give the "wlan" attribute a dependency on the "arc4" attribute.
* Give the "cgd" pseudo-device the "des", "blowfish", "cast128", and
"rijndael" attributes.
* Use the new attribute-as-option-dependencies feature of config(8) to
give the IPSEC_ESP option dependencies on the "des", "blowfish", "cast128",
and "rijndael" attributes.

- Split if_fmv.c into MI/MD part and add ISA-PnP attachment for FMV-183.
(XXX FMV-184 is not tested. It would require extra media-select functions..)
- Fix probe functions of fmv_isa so that FMV-181A/182A will also match.
Fixes port-i386/9476.
