lindev(4) [1] is supposed to be a collection of linux-specific pseudo
devices that we also support, just not by default (thus only LINT or
module builds by default).
While currently there is only "/dev/full" [2], we are planning to see more
in the future. We may decide to change the module/dependency logic in the
future should the list grow too long.
This is not part of linux.ko as also non-linux binaries like kFreeBSD
userland or ports can make use of this as well.

Introduce hw.hptrr.attach_generic loader tunable to deny hptrr driver
attach chips with generic Marvell (non-HighPoint) PCI identification.
These chips are also supported by ata(4). Some vendors, like Supermicro,
are using same chips without providing HPT RAID BIOS.

- Add unit to the short month names for Japanese locales.
Without unit, the output of the application like ls(1)
is complicated.
- Since %b contains unit, %b is not suitable for c_fmt,
now. Use %_m instead.

This patch fixes two bugs in sglist(9) and improves robustness of the API via
better semantics if a request to append an address range to an existing list
fails.
- When cloning an sglist, properly set the length in the new sglist instead of
leaving the new list empty.
- Properly compute the amount of data added to an sglist via
_sglist_append_buf(). This allows sglist_consume_uio() to properly update
uio_resid.
- When a request to append an address range to a scatter/gather list fails,
restore the sglist to the state it had at the start of the function call
instead of resetting it to an empty list.

Rather than fix questionable ifnet list locking in the implementation of

since FreeBSD 6 in favour of per-ifnet polling flags.

Add support for backing up the old kernel when installing a new kernel
using freebsd-update. This applies to using freebsd-update in "upgrade
mode" and normal freebsd-update on a security branch.
The backup kernel will be written to /boot/kernel.old, if the directory
does not exist, or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a
previous backup. Otherwise freebsd-update will generate a new directory
name for use by the backup. By default symbol files are not backed up
to save diskspace and avoid filling up the root partition.
This feature is fully configurable in the freebsd-update config file,
but defaults to enabled.
