The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

APM BIOS was relevant only to early laptops (approximately P166 or

this code has been untested for a long time (as far as I can
tell). The APM compat code in ACPI and the apm(8) command is not being
retired. Both of these items are still in use (apm(8) is more
scriptable than the replacement acpiconf, for the most part). This has
been commented out of i386 GENERIC since 2002. This code is not

The NOTES files have a bunch of hint lines that are removed when
generating LINT. However, we can achieve the same effect by prepending
each of the lines with 'envvar' so the NOTES files become standard
config(8) files. No functional changes as the sed script to generate
the LINT files filters these either way.

The goal of this driver is consolidate information about SuperIO chips
and to provide for peaceful coexistence of drivers that need to access
SuperIO configuration registers.
While SuperIO chips can host various functions most of them are
discoverable and accessible without any knowledge of the SuperIO.
Examples are: keyboard and mouse controllers, UARTs, floppy disk
controllers. SuperIO-s also provide non-standard functions such as
GPIO, watchdog timers and hardware monitoring. Such functions do
require drivers with a knowledge of a specific SuperIO.
At this time the driver supports a number of ITE and Nuvoton (fka
Winbond) SuperIO chips.
There is a single driver for all devices. So, I have not done the usual
split between the hardware driver and the bus functionality. Although,
superio does act as a bus for devices that represent known non-standard
functions of a SuperIO chip. The bus provides enumeration of child
devices based on the hardcoded knowledge of such functions. The
knowledge as extracted from datasheets and other drivers.
As there is a single driver, I have not defined a kobj interface for it.
So, its interface is currently made of simple functions.
I think that we can the flexibility (and complications) when we actually
need it.
I am planning to convert nctgpio and wbwd to superio bus very soon.
Also, I am working on itwd driver (watchdog in ITE SuperIO-s).
Additionally, there is ithwm driver based on the reverted sensors
import, but I am not sure how to integrate it given that we still lack
any sensors interface.
