  or directly from here:

  MD5: 7bddb0ff3564cc03c180b5f10286db2e


Notes:

   * Focus is shifting on preparing ALTQ for the Giantlock-free
     environment in 5-CURRENT, which will become the default for the
     network stack at some point in time.

   * There are still quite a few drivers that could be ALTQ enabled
     without much effort.


Changelog:
 - fxp(4) fix (credit goes to Max Layer)
 - net80211 fix (idem)
 - disabled TBR interaction in fxp(4) -- Pyun YongHyeon experienced
   IRQ storms under SMP; plus architecture independency fix
 - dc(4) small fix related to architecture independency
 - dc(4) not-working fix from Max Laier, spotted by rik
 - rl(4) ALTQ diffs rewritten & simplified (spotted by Pyun YongHyeon)
 - updated ALTQ core files to enable the MPSAFE bit and mark some
   timecounters as volatile (credit to Pyun YongHyeon)
 - updated the ALTQ kernel configuration file
 - updated README
