30179a557f In FreeBSD 5, we don't set schg on kernels, so that's not likely 
to be the cause of foot-shooting.

549855b75d A variety of kernel configuration updates for 5.0, largely in the 
form of <note></note> entries.  We now keep kernels in different
places.  We changed a bunch of options.  We deprecated support
for the i386 processor in GENERIC.  We now have PSEUDOFS.  We
dropped MFS for mdmfs.  We have ACLs in GENERIC.  We have ACLs
at all.  We have COMPAT_FREEBSD4.  Many things that should not have
been options have now been forgotten. No, wait.  They were enabled
by default.

<note>We really need two separate documents here: kernel configuration
for FreeBSD 4.x, and kernel configuration for FreeBSD 5.x.  This
quantity of notes is a lot less readable than I'd like.  If someone
wants to pick up this task before RC2, that would be great.</note>

10a0dffa09 Update list of "things you will know after reading this chapter" for 
the security chapter to include that you'll know about ACLs, as
trhodes has committed an ACLs section.

c36b056dcc Commit the draft SMPng architecture document John Baldwin posted to 
arch@ ages ago, with a number of updates I've added for things like
the MAC Framework, locking of SIGIO, sysctl(), timeout(), credentials,
jail, kernel modules, and a few other things.  Note particularly large
holes in documentation for file and file descriptor locking, pipe
locking, select locking, process locking, scheduler locking.  In fact,
most sections need a lot of work, but I figured it was better to get
this into the documentation tree where people could see/fix it, than
let it rot more.  This is not currently hooked up to the build since
it's not yet ready, but can be built easily.
