Devfs now does all the device management, eschew use of MAKEDEV.

Note: I haven't yet tested all the commands here, I suspect some
instances of "ccd0c" may need to become simply "ccd0".

5c8f4cdd6d Drop in a real-quick section on the MAC Framework and pluggable policy 
modules in FreeBSD 5.0.  Give brief descriptions of the policies that
we have available.  Since the man pages are still getting dropped in,
temporarily put in XXX's for the missing man page cross references--
we'll fix that tonight.

30179a557f In FreeBSD 5, we don't set schg on kernels, so that's not likely

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>

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.

analagous to the approach used to name chapters as external files in
chapters.ent.

so refer people to that instead.  [See the message 'Suggestion: add a
