r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked). Use it in
preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

After long consultations with re@, core members and mmacy, revert
these changes. Followup changes will be made to mark them as
deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date
driver. Followup commits will be made to make this clear in the
installer. Followup commits to reduce POLA in ways we're still
exploring.
It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).
Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate
the negative effects as much as possible.

As discussed on the MLs drm2 conflicts with the ports' version and there
is no upstream for most if not all of drm. Both have been merged in to
a single port.
Users on powerpc, 32-bit hardware, or with GPUs predating Radeon
and i915 will need to install the graphics/drm-legacy-kmod. All
other users should be able to use one of the LinuxKPI-based ports:
graphics/drm-stable-kmod, graphics/drm-next-kmod, graphics/drm-devel-kmod.

This update brings few features:
o Support for the setmaster/dropmaster ioctls. For instance, they
are used to run multiple X servers simultaneously.
o Support for minor devices. The only user-visible change is a new
entry in /dev/dri but it is useless at the moment. This is a
first step to support render nodes [1].
The main benefit is to greatly reduce the diff with Linux (at the
expense of an unreadable commit diff). Hopefully, next upgrades will be
easier.
No updates were made to the drivers, beside adapting them to API
changes.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
