Remove uscanner(4) driver

This exists for compatibility with a Linux interface which was apparently
deprecated in Linux 2.6. There are various mailing list threads going
back to 2004 where the usefulness of this driver is discussed, but
the conclusion is that scanner software has all moved to using ugen(4)
instead, and enabling this driver will not help you scan things.

mark nsmb major obsolete

Sync with head.

remove urio(4), a driver for the Rio500 MP3 player.

At this point it is highly unlikely this 1999 device still has users,
but it still comes up in the context of maxv's USB-fuzzing (and any device
could pretend to be a urio(4)), so it's best to get rid of it.

Renamed all major entries to obsolete, as was done in previous removals.

This still requires an update to sanitizers, but they're located in
"external", perhaps it should be first committed upstream?

Proposed on tech-kern a month ago.

Sync with HEAD

Systematize handling of removed drivers.

 - Every driver that was removed and whose number hasn't already been
   reused is now listed with a commented-out "obsolete" line.
 - The format of these has been systematized. Future format changes can
   probably be safely done with a script.
 - This does not include a few cases of assignments that only lasted a
   couple days, or stuff from before major reorgs. Some of these may
   be included nonetheless, because there was a lot of ground to cover
   and therefore not a lot of time to dig into history in detail.

Note that the obsolete listings do not mean the major numbers can
never be reused; that's up to portmasters and/or core. It does mean
that they won't be reused by accident, however, which in some cases
(depending on the driver, how widely used it was, its family of device
nodes, their default permissions, etc.) can be quite dangerous.

Note that some of the things now explicitly listed as obsolete are
really ancient history. My scan went back as far as when the majors
files were added. (But not before that.)

Ssync with HEAD

Remove ISDN from the kernel. It has remained unmaintained for a long time,
is of poor quality, and is now an obstacle to MP-ification. It was removed
ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.

This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the
kernel.

update from HEAD

Sync with HEAD

Update device dependency information - the sysmon major device now depends on the sysmon module itself, not on the individual components.

Rebase to HEAD as of a few days ago.

file majors.aarch64 was added on branch tls-maxphys on 2014-08-20 00:02:39 +0000

Preliminary files for AARCH64 (64-bit ARM) support.
Enough for a distribution build.
