Improvements:
* /etc/rc.suspend,rc.resume are always run, no matter the source of the
suspend request (user or kernel, apm or acpi)
* suspend now requires positive user acknowledgement. If a user program
wants to cancel the suspend, they can. If one of the user programs
hangs or doesn't respond within 10 seconds, the system suspends anyway.
* /dev/apm is clonable, allowing multiple listeners for suspend events.
In the future, xorg-server can use this to be informed about suspend
even if there are other listeners (i.e. apmd).
Changes:
* Two new ACPI ioctls: REQSLPSTATE and ACKSLPSTATE. Request begins the
process of suspending by notifying all listeners. acpi is monitored by
devd(8) and /dev/apm listener(s) are also counted. Users register their
approval or disapproval via Ack. If anyone disapproves, suspend is vetoed.
* Old user programs or kernel modules that used SETSLPSTATE continue to
work. A message is printed once that this interface is deprecated.
* acpiconf gains the -k flag to ack the suspend request. This flag is
undocumented on purpose since it's only used by /etc/rc.suspend. It is
not intended to be a permanent change and will be removed once a better
power API is implemented.
* S5 (power off) is no longer supported via acpiconf -s 5 or apm -z/-Z.
This restores previous behavior of halt/shutdown -p being the interface.
* Miscellaneous improvements to error reporting

114 bytes of cmos ram in the PC clock chip. The big difference between
this and the Linux version is that we do not recalculate the checksums

We use this at work when cloning identical machines - we can copy the

sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.
The type must always be an int or an unsigned int.
Remove the instances where a sizeof(variable) is passed to stop
people accidently cut and pasting these examples.
In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit
types, which would truncate the value to be exported. In these
cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.
Probabilly, a general approach is not the better solution here, so we should
solve the sched_lock protection problems separately.

handler is wrapped in a couple of functions - a filter wrapper and an
ithread wrapper. In this case (and just in this case), the filter
wrapper could ask the system to schedule the ithread and mask the
interrupt source if the wrapped handler is composed of just an ithread
handler: modify the "old" interrupt code to make it support
this situation, while the "new" interrupt code is already ok.

- Add a new MAX_APIC_ID constant for the highest valid APIC ID for modern
systems.
- Size the various arrays in the MADT, MP Table, and SMP code that are
indexed by APIC IDs to allow for up to MAX_APIC_ID.
- Explicitly go through and assign logical cpu ids to local APICs before
starting any of the APs up rather than doing it while starting up the
APs. This step is now where we honor MAXCPU.

- Split the intr_table_lock into an sx lock used for most things, and a
spin lock to protect intrcnt_index. Originally I had this as a spin lock
so interrupt code could use it to lookup sources. However, we don't
actually do that because it would add a lot of overhead to interrupts,
and if we ever do support removing interrupt sources, we can use other
means to safely do so w/o locking in the interrupt handling code.
- Replace is_enabled (boolean) with is_handlers (a count of handlers) to
determine if a source is enabled or not. This allows us to notice when
a source is no longer in use. When that happens, we now invoke a new
PIC method (pic_disable_intr()) to inform the PIC driver that the
source is no longer in use. The I/O APIC driver frees the APIC IDT
vector when this happens. The MSI driver no longer needs to have a
hack to clear is_enabled during msi_alloc() and msix_alloc() as a result
of this change as well.
- Add an apic_disable_vector() to reset an IDT vector back to Xrsvd to
complement apic_enable_vector() and use it in the I/O APIC and MSI code
when freeing an IDT vector.
- Add a new nexus hook: nexus_add_irq() to ask the nexus driver to add an
IRQ to its irq_rman. The MSI code uses this when it creates new
interrupt sources to let the nexus know about newly valid IRQs.
Previously the msi_alloc() and msix_alloc() passed some extra stuff
back to the nexus methods which then added the IRQs. This approach is
a bit cleaner.
- Change the MSI sx lock to a mutex. If we need to create new sources,
drop the lock, create the required number of sources, then get the lock
and try the allocation again.
