Documentation update.

Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.

Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes.  I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

+/stand/sysinstall moved even more towards a system management tool.
+
+The syscons and psm drivers now have a new underlying shared keyboard
+driver, eliminating many of the previously existing problems with
+their mutual interaction.
+
+2.2 is the first release that includes full CD-R support for the
+Plasmon RF41xx, HP4020i, and Philips CDD2000 drives.  The driver is
+still under development (in particular to extend its usability for
+other devices), but it has been proved to be stable by now.
+
+Support for NFSv3 clients and servers went into the 2.2 sources
+shortly after branching off the 2.0.5/2.1.X tree.  There are also
+other options available with NFS, like the ability to turn an NFSv2
+server into asychronous write mode (which is in violation of the
+specs, but has precedents e.g. in SGI Irix).
+
+The mount option `async' allows asynchronous metadata updates on UFS
+file systems, something that is the default e.g. on Linux' ext2fs.
+This speeds up many i-node intensive filesystem operations (like
+rm -r) at the cost of an increased risk in case of a system crash.
+The installation itself makes use of this feature, and could be
+drastically accelerated by this.  (A bindist-only installation from a
+SCSI CD-ROM can now complete in less than 5 minutes on a fast
+machine!)
+
+The ATAPI CD-ROM support is now reported to work for quite an
+impressive number of drives.  In other words, all the drives that
+basically adhere to the ATAPI standard are likely to work.
+
+There are many new drivers available in the kernel, too many to keep
+them in mind.  Tekram supplied a driver for their DC390 and DC390T
+controllers.  These controllers are based on the AMD 53c974, and the
+driver is also able to handle other SCSI controllers based on that
+chip.  Of course, with Tekram being generous enough to support the
+FreeBSD project with their driver, we'd like to encourage you to buy
+their product.  The `ed' and `lnc' drivers now support auto-config-
+uration for the respective PCI ethernet cards, including many NE2000
+clones and the AMD PCnet chips.  The SDL RISCom N2 support is new, as
+well as the PCI version of the Cyclades driver.
+
+Support for APM BIOSes is now in a much better shape.
+
+The manual section 9 has been started, describing `official' kernel
+programming interfaces.  We are still seeking volunteers to document
+interfaces here!
