- Make MD poffd(8) retire, and use MI powerd(8) instead of it.
- Make /dev/pow1 retire, because nobody holds /dev/pow0 any longer.
Use /dev/pow0 for pow(4) ioctl.
- POWIOCSSIGNAL ioctl which is for poffd(8) is also obsoleted.
in the root of the tree being modified, rather than in the system default
tree. This permits module compat_netbsd32 to initialize its shadow tree
at load time.
Discussed on tech-kern, with no objections.

embedding the address of its xxx_mountroot() in swapnetbsd.c. This
permits booting of kernels with hard-wired filesystem type even if the
filesystem is in a loadable module (ie, not linked into the kernel
image).
Discussed on current-users. Tested on amd64 and i386 with both hard-
wired and '?' filesystem times, and on both modular and monolithic
kernels.
Thanks to pooka@ for code review and suggestions.

the base NetBSD system. It uses Linux LVM2 tools and our BSD licensed
device-mapper driver.
The device-mapper driver can be used to create virtual block devices which
maps virtual blocks to real with target mapping called target. Currently
these targets are available a linear, zero, error and a snapshot (this is
work in progress and doesn't work yet).
The lvm2tools adds lvm and dmsetup binary to based system, where the lvm
tool is used to manage and administer whole LVM and the dmestup is used to
communicate iwith device-mapper kernel driver. With these tools also
a libdevmapper library is instaled to the base system.
Building of tools and driver is currently disable and can be enabled with
MKLVM=yes in mk.conf. I will add sets lists and rc.d script soon.

- Patch in atomic_cas_64() twice. The first patch is early and makes it
the MP-atomic version available if we have cmpxchg8b. The second patch
strips the lock prefix if ncpu==1.
- Fix the i486 atomic_cas_64() to not unconditionally enable interrupts.
writable tracks on session opening. Note that this an optionally implemented
feature and thus no error will be generated if it fails; the drive will most
likely autorepair it.
