Fix typo (missing space).

I would like to add bit more:

  • 4BSD: Switch from MAXCPU fixed-length array to DPCPU for runq_pcpu (D58000 please review)

Ok, reviewed this one, which needs more work, but will list it.

These are quite minor and to be reviewed, it's probably easier to mention them in next report.

Done, although that sounds slightly strange to my ears, but I'm not a native speaker.

One thing that makes it sound a bit strange is that the FreeBSD doc style has a rule about not using contractions (such as "ULE's").

English speakers use them all the time, English books use them all the time, and non-formal English writing (such as emails, blog posts, git commit messages, etc.) use them all the time. I even see them in some academic conference and journal papers!

So it's [sic] very understandable that when we avoid them, the language doesn't [sic] sound normal.

Contractions are to be avoided, yes. But then, a fine point of grammar (at least from my POV). Feels pretty obvious to me that 's is a contraction when replacing is ("the cat's black"). But is the possessive "'s" really considered a contraction also? Out of curiosity, contraction of what?

Sorry, my bad! You're correct, "ULE's" was ok, and it's not a contraction.

The original text was:

with current ULE's design,

which has the word "current" in the wrong place. I suggest either:

with the current ULE design [my originally proposed text]

or

with ULE's current design [which might flow better?]
