-
-      <para role="8.0">The &os; <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel now
-	includes Trusted BSD MAC (Mandatory Access Control) support.
-	No MAC policy module is loaded by default.</para>
-
-      <para role="8.0" arch="i386">A loader
-	tunable <varname>hw.clflush_disable</varname> has been added
-	to avoid panic (trap 9)
-	at <function>map_invalidate_cache_range()</function> even if
-	Intel CPU is used.  This tunable can be set
-	to <literal>-1</literal> (default), <literal>0</literal> and
-	<literal>1</literal>.  The <literal>-1</literal> is same as
-	the current behavior, which automatically
-	disables <literal>CLFLUSH</literal> on Intel CPUs without
-	<literal>CPUID_SS</literal> (this should occurr on Xen
-	only).	You can specify <literal>1</literal> when this panic
-	happens on non-Intel CPUs (such as AMD's).  Because disabling
-	<literal>CLFLUSH</literal> can reduce performance, you can try
-	with setting <literal>0</literal> on Intel CPUs
-	without <literal>SS</literal> to
-	use <literal>CLFLUSH</literal> feature.</para>
-
-      <para role="8.0">The &man.jail.8; subsystem has been updated.  Changes include:</para>
-
-      <itemizedlist role="7.2">
-	<listitem>
-	  <para role="8.0">A new virtualization container
-	    named <quote>vimage</quote> has been implemented.  This is
-	    not enabled by default.  To enable this, add the following
-	    kernel options to your kernel configuration file and
-	    rebuild the kernel:</para>
-
-	  <programlisting>options	VIMAGE</programlisting>
-
-	  <para>Note that <literal>options SCTP</literal> in the
-	    <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel is not compatible with
-	    <literal>options VIMAGE</literal>.  This limitation will
-	    be fixed in the next release.</para>
-
-	  <para>The vimage is a jail with a virtualized instance of
-	    the &os; network stack.  It can be created by using
-	    &man.jail.8; command like this:</para>
-
-	  <screen>&prompt.root; jail -c vnet name=<replaceable>vnet1</replaceable> host.hostname=<replaceable>vnet1.example.net</replaceable> path=/ persist</screen>
-
-	  <para>The vimage has own loopback interface and a separated
-	    network stack including the L3 routing tables.  Network
-	    interfaces on the system can be moved by using
-	    &man.ifconfig.8; <option>vnet</option> option between the
-	    different vimage jails and outside of them.</para>
-
-	  <para>Furthermore, the &man.epair.4; pseudo-interface driver
-	    has been added to help communication between vimage jails.
-	    It emulates a pair of back-to-back connected Ethernet
-	    interfaces.	 For example, the following commands create an
-	    interface pair of &man.epair.4;:</para>
-
-	  <screen>&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0 create
-epair0a
-&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0a
-epair0a: flags=8842&lt;BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST&gt; metric 0 mtu 1500
-	ether 02:c0:64:00:07:0a
-&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0b
-epair0b: flags=8842&lt;BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST&gt; metric 0 mtu 1500
-	ether 02:c0:64:00:08:0b</screen>
-
-	  <para>The &man.epair.4; pseudo-interfaces and any physical
-	    interfaces on the system can be moved between vimage jails
-	    by using &man.ifconfig.8; <option>vnet</option> option as
-	    described above.  Even after half of an &man.epair.4; pair
-	    is moved, the back-to-back connection still valid and can
-	    be used for inter-jail communication.</para>
-
-	  <para>Note that vimage is still considered as an
-	    experimental feature.</para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>A jail can now have arbitrary named parameters similar
-	    to environmental variables and the fixed jail parameters
-	    in the previous releases have been replaced with them.
-	    The jail name can now be used for identifying the jail in
-	    &man.jexec.8; and &man.killall.1;.</para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>Multiple IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses per jail are now
-	    supported.  It is even possible to have jails without
-	    an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chrooted
-	    environment with restricted process view and no
-	    networking.</para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>SCTP (&man.sctp.4;) with IPv6 in jails has been
-	    implemented.</para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>Specific CPU binding by using &man.cpuset.1; has been
-	    implemented.  Note that the current implementation allows
-	    the superuser inside of the jail to change the CPU
-	    bindings specified.</para>
