The new implementation of this library provides abstractions for
network drivers, and should be used for all network drivers from now
on. It provides the following functionality:
- a function call table abstraction, hiding the details of the
datalink protocol with simple parameters;
- a state machine for sending and receiving packets, freeing the
actual driver from keeping track of pending requests;
- an abstraction for copying data from and to the network driver,
freeing the actual driver from dealing with I/O vectors while at
the same time providing a copy implementation which is more
efficient than most current driver implementations;
- a generalized implementation of zero-copy port-based I/O;
- a clearer set of policies and defaults.
While the concept is very similar to lib{block,char,fs,input}driver,
one main difference is that libnetdriver now also takes care of SEF
initialization, mainly so that aspects such as recovery policies and
live-update aspects can be changed for all network drivers in a
single place. As always, for the case that the provided message loop
is too restrictive, a set of more low-level message processing
functions is provided.
The netdriver API has been designed so as to allow alleviation of one
current protocol bottleneck: the fact that at most one send request
and one receive request may be pending at any time. Changing this
aspect will however require a significant rewrite of libnetdriver,
and possibly debugging of drivers that are not able to cope with (in
particular) queuing multiple packets for transmission at once.
Beyond that, the design of the new API is based on the current
protocol, and may be changed/extended later to allow for non-ethernet
network drivers, exposure of link status, multicast address
configuration, suspend and resume, and any other features that are in
fact long overdue.

This is required for at least QEMU. However, as of writing, QEMU also
requires fixes in its epro100 emulator before this driver can use it.

Bochs has switched from port base 0x240 to 0x300 for its default
NE2000 ISA configuration, and QEMU is using the same settings.

The expected argument name would include the instance number, which
is not only redundant in many cases (FOOETHn_n=arg.., "n" being the
instance number) and conflicted with what netconf(8) does, but some
drivers need to be able to see the arguments for all instances of its
driver type--for example, dp8390 needs to know how many earlier
instances have been configured to use PCI.

Previously, a TCP option length of zero would cause inet to end up
in an infinite loop.
This resolves#7, reported by Alejandro Hernandez.

After importing the default environment from NetBSD, we discovered that
it doesn't contain /usr/games, which is required for the commands
strfile. This utility is used while generating fortune database.
This patch simply sets TOOL_STRFILE to contain an absolute path.

The jump-to-start hack is not resetting global variables, resulting in
a crash after several such restarts cause an overflow in the network
table. This patch fixes that particular issue, but more similar
issues (in particular memory leaks) are bound to come up. As such this
is a stopgap measure until we can get rid of the old dhcpd altogether.
This resolves the additional issue reported in #2.

This patch adds (very limited) support for memory-mapping pages on
file systems that are mounted on the special "none" device and that
do not implement PEEK support by themselves. This includes hgfs,
vbfs, and procfs.
The solution is implemented in libvtreefs, and consists of allocating
pages, filling them with content by calling the file system's READ
functionality, passing the pages to VM, and freeing them again. A new
VM flag is used to indicate that these pages should be mapped in only
once, and thus not cached beyond their single use. This prevents
stale data from getting mapped in without the involvement of the file
system, which would be problematic on file systems where file contents
may become outdated at any time. No VM caching means no sharing and
poor performance, but mmap no longer fails on these file systems.
Compared to a libc-based approach, this patch retains the on-demand
nature of mmap. Especially tail(1) is known to map in a large file
area only to use a small portion of it.
All file systems now need to be given permission for the SETCACHEPAGE
and CLEARCACHE calls to VM.
A very basic regression test is added to test74.

This obviates the need for several file system implementations to
remember the device on which they are mounted.

This directory is filled dynamically with regular files, one for each
service that RS knows about, named after its label. Its contents are
still subject to (heavy) change, but currently expose the service's
endpoint and number of restarts so far.

- rename start_vtreefs to run_vtreefs, since the function returns upon
termination these days;
- add get_inode_slots function to retrieve the number of indexed slots;
- add support for extra per-inode data for arbitrary storage.

The test would sometimes fail because an alarm triggered before the
system call to be interrupted by the alarm could be started.

Also fix two small IOCTL-related bugs:
- do not print an argument pointer for argument-less IOCTLs;
- print IOCTL contents with -V given once, just like structures.

Fix for problems reported by Alejandro Hernández:
. VM unmap: handle case where there is no nextvr
Fixes for problems found by running Melkor ELF fuzzing tool:
. VM: better handle case where region prealloc fails by
freeing memory that was allocated so far
. MFS fs_readwrite: EOF check should happen for read and
peek requests, not just read
This fixes#4.

With the import of Xorg, a proper separation between login-time and sub
shell-time of the environment setup is necessary.
Instead of re-developping this from scratch, I am taking the opportunity
to import the NetBSD default environment.

Define _NLS_PRIVATE in tools/llvm-tblgen/Makefile so that
<tools/compat/nl_types.h> will pull in <include/nl_types.h>. This is
necessary as Clang's c++/v1/locale implementation contains references
to catopen and other catalog symbols that aren't defined anywhere.
Moreover, the compiler will complain about NL_CAT_LOCALE not being
declared. The compat nl_types.h fixes these discrepancies.
However, <nl_types.h> uses __format_arg to add function attributes to
declarations. On NetBSD __format_arg(fmtarg) is defined by
<sys/cdefs.h> to be __attribute__((__format_arg__ (fmtarg))) for
briefness, but other platforms don't do that. Consequently, the build
will fail on catopen and friends function declarations because the
compiler doesn't know how to handle __format_arg(fmtarg). A fixup to
<tools/compat/nl_types.h> takes care of this, but it won't win any
beauty contest.
