This keeps the logical cpu's halted in the idle loop. By default
the logical cpu's are halted at startup. It is also possible to
halt any cpu in the idle loop now using machdep.hlt_cpus.
Examples of how to use this:
machdep.hlt_cpus=1 halt cpu0
machdep.hlt_cpus=2 halt cpu1
machdep.hlt_cpus=4 halt cpu2
machdep.hlt_cpus=3 halt cpu0,cpu1

1) Its critical for HTT. There's less foot-shooting opportunity.
2) I've seen significant improvements in interactive response to commands
over ssh sessions. I assume this is less lock contention.
3) As incentive to finish the idle cpu IPI wakeup stuff.
4) The machine on my desk was blowing hot air in my general direction
because somebody forgot to turn the hlt on, and it saves 50 watts per
cpu..
The machdep.cpu_idle_hlt sysctl is still available, but now the default

where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

doesn't do it. This fixes all known causes of "Context switches not
allowed in the debugger" in mi_switch(). The main cause was trap_fatal()
calling kdb_trap() with interrupts enabled. Switching to ithreads for
interrupt handling then made fatal traps more fatal and harder to debug.
The problem was limited in -current because most interrupt handlers are
blocked by Giant, but it occurred almost deterministically for me because
my clock interrupt handlers are non-fast and not blocked by Giant.

are machine dependent because they are not required to update the tlb when
mappings are added or removed, and doing so is machine dependent.
In addition, an implementation may require that pages mapped with pmap_kenter
have a backing vm_page_t, which is not necessarily true of all physical
pages, and so may choose to pass the vm_page_t to pmap_kenter instead of the
physical address in order to make this requirement clear.
pmap_release.
- Merged pmap_release and pmap_release_free_page. When pmap_release is
called only the page directory page(s) can be left in the pmap pte object,
since all page table pages will have been freed by pmap_remove_pages and
pmap_remove. In addition, there can only be one reference to the pmap and
the page directory is wired, so the page(s) can never be busy. So all there
is to do is clear the magic mappings from the page directory and free the
page(s).

Additional checks might be required on other platforms to prevent

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

Fixed memory leak in the "nodevice" option implementation.
Use these instead of sed(1) in MD NOTES.
Use a single makefile (sys/conf/makeLINT.mk) to generate
LINT for all architectures. (Previous versions missed
the LINT dependency on Makefile, and i386 version also
missed the dependency on ${NOTES}.)
Fixed bugs in the previous NOTES conversion using the
"nodevice" token and sed(1):
- i386 LINT lost "device pst".
- pc98 LINT lost SC_*, MAXCONS and KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOAD
options, and got needless DPT_* options.
- Added nooptions PPC_DEBUG, PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV
to sparc64 LINT so that it has a chance to config(8).
This basically returns us to where we were before.

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

- Changed VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS to be defined in terms of PTDPTDI. In order for
assumptions about the recursive page table map to work it must be the base

#if'ed out for a while. Complete the deed and tidy up some other bits.
We need to be able to call this stuff from outer edges of interrupt
handlers for devices that have the ISR bits in pci config space. Making
the bios code mpsafe was just too hairy. We had also stubbed it out some
time ago due to there simply being too much brokenness in too many systems.
This adds a leaf lock so that it is safe to use pci_read_config() and
pci_write_config() from interrupt handlers. We still will use pcibios
to do interrupt routing if there is no acpi.. [yes, I tested this]
