    hi,folks:
    There are few confuses with me after cvsupd(10.28.2003) to 4.9R
    I found that in my GERNERIC/LINT file i couldn't find
    anything about PAE options.... :( and I found these 2
    files modified date is:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9763 4 28 2003 /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 104976 10 23 03:04 /sys/i386/conf/LINT
    it seems that cvsup didn't update thes 2 files???????
    and at the /usr/src/UPDATING file , I didn't see the 4.9 REALEASE line
    follow is cut of UPDATING file

    20031022:
    Support for HyperThread logical CPUs has now been enabled by
    default. As a result, the HTT kernel option no longer exists.
    Instead, the logical CPUs are always started so that they can
    handle interrupts. However, the extra logical CPUs are prevented
    from executing user processes by default. To enable the logical
    CPUs, change the value of the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus from 1 to
    0. This value can also be set from the loader as a tunable of
    the same name.

    20030923:
    Fix a bug in arplookup(), whereby a hostile party on a locally
    attached network could exhaust kernel memory, and cause a system
    panic, by sending a flood of spoofed ARP requests. See
    FreeBSD-SA-03:14.arp.
