Merge yamt-pf42 branch. (import newer pf from OpenBSD 4.2) ok'ed by peter@. requested by core@ [YAMAMOTO Takashi]

Don't try to standby on a lid_switch pressed event, this has a few problems: [Jared D. McNeill]
1. ACPI S1 doesn't work properly for many people on NetBSD
2. It prevents someone from using their laptop with an external display

Make pmap_extract() lockless. Reviewed by chs@ who reports a ~1% reduction in system time during a kernel build on a quad core amd64 system. [Andrew Doran]

Fix for biowait hangs, and possibly other condvar hangs. Also should fix PR kern/38761. The condvar must access the sleepq with the sleepq lock held, doing so is causing inconsistent sleepq state to be read. This is because some accesses to the sleepq don't come via the cv code, but are call directly into sleepq_changepri and sleepq_lendpri, which take the sleepq lock, and removes then re-inserts lwps into the sleepq. Running a build.sh with -j8 now completes on my quad-core, also tested by Simon@ on a 8-core server and matt@ on a quad-core. [Chris Gilbert]

Branch simonb-wapbl: Initial commit of Wasabi System's WAPBL (Write Ahead Physical Block Logging) journaling code. Originally written by Darrin B. Jewell while at Wasabi and updated to -current by Antti Kantee, Andrew Doran, Greg Oster and Simon Burge. Wasabi's marketing material is available here [Simon Burge]

Unify splraiseipl(9) implementation among m68k ports as per suggestion from isaki@ on port-m68k. [Izumi Tsutsui]

Always update the desired power status of each CardBus function, even if we cannot remove power from the function because its device property 'pmf-powerdown' is present and equal to false. Because we were not tracking the power status properly before, we were not taking cards out of reset after a suspend/resume cycle on their CardBus bridge. We would lose the use of the card that way. [David Young]

kernel: Device attach and detach notifications are now exposed via /dev/drvctl [Jared D. McNeill ]

uberry(4): A driver to allow RIM BlackBerries to charge from the USB port [Christos Zoulas]

Stop and start bluetooth services across suspend. [Jared D. McNeill ]

Add bio(4) support, heavily from OpenBSD. The driver doesn't know which physical drives belong to which logical drive, so all the physical drives will show up for logical drive 0, and also appear for logical drives that are rebuilding so that the rebuild state will show the physical drive being rebuilt. [Michael L. Hitch]

Run shutdown hooks whether or not the kernel has panicked. Restores NetBSD's shutdown behavior of more than 6 years before rev 1.176. Ok joerg@.

It is essential that we restore some hardware to initial conditions before rebooting, in order to avoid interfering with the BIOS bootstrap. For example, if NetBSD gives control back to the Soekris comBIOS while the kernel text is write-protected, the BIOS bootstrap hangs during the power-on self-test, "POST: 0123456789bcefghip". In principle, bus masters can also interfere with BIOS boot. [David Young]
