dev/microcode

  + tht/microcode.h                       

  > tehuti are allowing us to distribute their firmware under a 4 clause bsd
  > license. thanks to Alexander Indenbaum and Nick Bhavsar at Tehuti for
  > sorting this out. (dlg@)

  ~ tht/microcode.h                       + tht/Makefile
  + tht/build.c                           + tht/tht-license

  ~ tht/build.c                           

  > the tht firmware isnt technically a firmware, its a series of commands
  > interleaved with data, which is copied directly into the task fifo of a
  > tht controller. the commands and data are all 32bit words, and they all
  > have to be little endian. this byteswaps the host ordered values in
  > microcode.h into little endian values for the controller to eat.
  > you can now build the firmware correctly on big endian archs. (dlg@)

  ~ tht/microcode.h                       

  > format and knf the array so it looks more like c and less like a csv.

dev/pci

  ~ if_tht.c                              

  > this is two (and a half) changes, but im too lazy to split them up.
  > the first is the addition of handlers for the fifos. you can now check if
  > there the fifo is ready to be used, pre sync it for use, do many
  > incremental updates to it, then post sync it to tell the hardware that
  > you've done something. the ready, pre, and post funcs are done for both
  > the reader and writer fifos, but only updates to the writer fifos is
  > implemented so far.
  > the second change is the firmware loading. i needed the above changes to do
  > this, and i needed firmware loading to test them, so this change gets both.
  > so we have a mountroot hook (that was the half change) that allocates the
  > tx task fifo, reads the firmware from disk, and then pushes the firmware
  > onto the fifo. once that is done it spins till the firmware is ready, then
  > cleans up everything it allocated for loading the firmware.
  > this diff wont time out if anything goes wrong during fw_load. if anyone
  > wants to look at a nice way of doing it, please do. (dlg@)

kern

  ~ vfs_cache.c                           

  > After we bumped the maximal number of vnodes by quite a bit we became
  > painfully aware of what the comment:
  > "This makes the algorithm O(n^2), but do you think I care?"
  > actually means. I started to care.
  > Fix up the cache_purgevfs algorithm to not be O(n^2) since it's not
  > preemptible anyway and while I'm here, make this code actually return
  > the cache entries to the pool instead of hogging them and implement a
  > marginally faster free list. This way we return memory to the system
  > when some parameters change.
  > miod@ ok (art@)
