we want to accept V4 subnets in CIDR notation consistently which
means we need to interpret the mask in context of the IP address.
so parseipmask() now has an additional v4 flag argument which
offsets the prefixlength by 96 so a /24 will be interpreted
as a /120.
parseipandmask() is the new function which handles this automatically
depending on the ip address type.
v4parsecidr() is now obsolete.

all screen implementations use a Memimage* internally
for the framebuffer, so we can return a shared reference
to its Memdata structure in attachscreen() instead of
a framebuffer data pointer.
this eleminates the softscreen == 0xa110c hack as we
always use shared Memdata* now.
Under the normal close sequence, when we receive a FIN|ACK, we enter
TIME-WAIT and respond to that LAST-ACK with an ACK. Our TCP stack would
send an ACK in response to *any* ACK, which included FIN|ACK but also
included regular ACKs. (Or PSH|ACKs, which is what we were actually
getting/sending).
That was more ACKs than is necessary and results in an endless ACK storm
if we were under the simultaneous close sequence. In that scenario,
both sides of a connection are in TIME-WAIT. Both sides receive
FIN|ACK, and both respond with an ACK. Then both sides receive *those*
ACKs, and respond again. This continues until the TIME-WAIT wait period
elapses and each side's TCP timers (in the Plan 9 / Akaros case) shut
down.
The fix for this is to only respond to a FIN|ACK when we are in TIME-WAIT.
Executing .KS after .1C exhibits a bug.
Instead on the next page, the text between .KS and .KE is shown at
the bottom of the page (where footnote would be).
To reproduce the bug: http://sprunge.us/xyCUX7
The bug can be fixed by changing two lines in tmac.s:
if \\n(NX<1 .bp\}
to
if \\n(NX<=1 .bp\}
and
if \\n(NX<1 'bp\}
to
if \\n(NX<=1 'bp\}
At this moment plan9 is using vendorinfo to communicate
some specific plan9 parameters, but there are some boards
that use this attribute to set specific values. This
patch allows netbooting of these boards using ndb attributes
instead of hard coded solutions in dhcpd(1). Vendor attribute
is used for that purpose because it is also used for the
same purpose in bootp.
Lookupip() was already reading rootpath, but it didn't read the
address of the rootserver. As they are very related it makes sense to
read them at the same time.
This patch also fixes a typo, where vendorclass was used instead of
vendor, resulting that vendor ndb attribute was never used.
always start the pager kproc in swapinit(), simplifying kickpager().
allow zero conf.nswap and conf.nswppo. avoid allocating the reference
map and iolist arrays in that case.
use ulong for ioptr and iolist indices.
don't panic when writing pages out to the swapfile fails. just
requeue the page in the io transaction list so we will try
again next time executeio() is run or just free the page when
the swap reference was dropped.
remove unused pagersummary() function.
