here, make the style of assertion used by pmap_enter() consistent
across all architectures.
On entry to pmap_remove_write(), assert that the page is neither
unmanaged nor fictitious, since we cannot remove write access to
either kind of page.
With the push down of the page queues lock, pmap_remove_write() cannot
condition its behavior on the state of the PG_WRITEABLE flag if the
page is busy. Assert that the object containing the page is locked.
This allows us to know that the page will neither become busy nor will
PG_WRITEABLE be set on it while pmap_remove_write() is running.
Correct a long-standing bug in vm_page_cowsetup(). We cannot possibly
do copy-on-write-based zero-copy transmit on unmanaged or fictitious
pages, so don't even try. Previously, the call to pmap_remove_write()
would have failed silently.
On a soekris Net5501, if you do a watchdog -t 16, followed by a watchdog
-t 0 to disable the watchdog, and then after some time (16s) re-enable
the watchdog the box reboots immediatly. This prevents also to stop and
restart watchdogd(8).
This is because when you stop the watchdog, the timer is not stoped,
only the hard reset is disabled. So when the timer has elapsed, the C2
event of the timer is set.
But when the hard reset is re-enabled, the event is not cleared and the
box reboots.
The attached patch stops and resets the counter when the watchdog is
disabled and do not disable the hard reset of the timer (if the timer
has elapsed it's too late).

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.

Clearing a page table entry's accessed bit (PG_A) and setting the
page's PG_REFERENCED flag in pmap_protect() can't really be justified,
so don't do it.
page's PG_REFERENCED flag in pmap_protect() can't really be justified.
In contrast to pmap_remove() or pmap_remove_all(), the mapping is not
being destroyed, so the notion that the page was accessed is not lost.
Moreover, clearing the page table entry's accessed bit and setting the
page's PG_REFERENCED flag can throw off the page daemon's activity
count calculation. Finally, in my tests, I found that 15% of the
atomic memory operations being performed by pmap_protect() were only
to clear PG_A, and not change protection. This could, by itself, be
fixed, but I don't see the point given the above argument.
Remove a comment from pmap_protect_pde() that is no longer meaningful
after the above change.
pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters. For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences. First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon. Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should. Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon. Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page. However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution. In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping. Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage
mapping within another process!

RX handler.

well as jumbo frame support but these features are not available

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
