timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
to serial encap, change its data link type to DLT_PPP_SERIAL.
* Work around some serious bogosity in the filtering code which utterly
breaks proper functioning of BPF. The PPP code and pppd(8) WILL be changed
to fix this.
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
trivial multicast support, and support for xon/xoff output flow
control to the PPP subsystem. Fixed several bugs, including making
the accumulation and resetting of statistics more consistent. State
for the VJ compressor is now dynamically allocated.
improvements. The PPP kernel code is now split into if_ppp.c,
containing generic PPP support, and ppp_tty.c, which specifically
supports PPP on async tty devices (as a line discipline). This is
so that other devices can be supported without making them look
like ttys.
