718cf2ccb9 sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

d8b878873e - Extract the IODEV_PIO interface from ia64 and make it MI.
In the end, it does help fixing /dev/io usage from multithreaded
  processes.
- On i386 and amd64 the old behaviour is kept but multithreaded
  processes must use the new interface in order to work well.
- Support for the other architectures is greatly improved, where
  necessary, by the necessity to define very small things now.

Manpage update will happen shortly.

409a390c33 Use io(4) for I/O port access on ia64, rather than through sysarch(2).
I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.

Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

cacdd70cc7 Remove D_NEEDGIANT from io(4).
There is no need to mark this device node to use Giant. The only
architectures that use io(4) (i386 and amd64) only change a flag in
td->td_frame, which is only accessed by curthread.

Apart from this change, I think some fishy things may happen when using
/dev/io in multithreaded applications. I haven't tested, but looking at
the code, the flag doesn't get cleared when close() is called from
another thread, but this may not be this important.

I'm not removing D_NEEDGIANT from mem(4), because this driver isn't
Giant safe at all (it calls GIANT_REQUIRED).

721351876c Remove the unused major/minor numbers from iodev and memdev.
Now that st_rdev is being automatically generated by the kernel, there
is no need to define static major/minor numbers for the iodev and
memdev. We still need the minor numbers for the memdev, however, to
distinguish between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

8ab2f5ecc5 Break out the MI part of the /dev/[k]mem and /dev/io drivers into
their own directory and module, leaving the MD parts in the MD
area (the MD parts _are_ part of the modules). /dev/mem and /dev/io
are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards
a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing
preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.
