Summary

Those include:

  • Add a rune to load if_tap at boot.
  • Remove the restriction to use MMCFG PCI accesses for Xen >= 4.11.

The <tip> needs to have an empty line above it and the <para> inside should be indented. Run textproc/igor over your changed file to get some useful reports on what to change.

I need to dig into whether we can use the &latest; or &latest2; variables to automatically reflect the latest FreeBSD releases here. That way, we don't need to remember to bump this every time a new release comes out. For now, you could wrap that release number in <replaceable>s to indicate that something else could be put in that position.

Thanks, all fixed :).

Apply requested fixes, run igor.

Looks good. Can you commit that directly or should I take care of it?
