# Note: Cavium provided a port that has atomics similar to these, but

them to void * first. This neatly solves the "how do I print a
register_t" problem because sizeof(void *) is always the same as
sizeof(register_t), afaik.
this is correct. While registers are 64-bit, n32 is a 32-bit ABI and
lives in a 32-bit world (with explicit 64-bit registers, however).
Change an 8, which was 4 + 4 or sizeof(int) + SZREG to be a simple '4
+ SZREG' to reflect the actual offset of the structure in question.
places. Provide n32/n64 register name defintions. This should have
no effect for the O32 builds that everybody else uses, but should help
make N64 builds possible (lots of other changes are needed for that).

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

required by video card drivers. Specifically, this change introduces
vm_cache_mode_t with an appropriate VM_CACHE_DEFAULT definition on all
architectures. In addition, this changes adds a vm_cache_mode_t parameter
to kmem_alloc_contig() and vm_phys_alloc_contig(). These will be the
interfaces for allocating mapped kernel memory and physical memory,
respectively, with non-default cache modes.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

atomic_fetchadd_32. Without it gcc would use it as input
register for v and sometimes generate following code for
function call like atomic_fetchadd_32(&(fp)->f_count, -1):
801238b4: 2402ffff li v0,-1
801238b8: c2230018 ll v1,24(s1)
801238bc: 00431021 addu v0,v0,v1
801238c0: e2220018 sc v0,24(s1)
801238c4: 1040fffc beqz v0,801238b8 <dupfdopen+0x2e8>
801238c8: 00000000 nop
Which is definitly wrong because if sc fails v0 is set to 0
and previous value of -1 is overriden hence whole operation
turns to bogus
