o Add bp_trace (yes, it's in the boot page) that gets zeroed before we
try to wake a core and to which the core being woken can write markers

o Disable the boot page translation to allow the last 4K page to be used

o Fix kernstart in the case of SMP. The start argument is typically page
aligned due to the alignment requirements that come with having a boot
page. The point of using trunc_page is that we get the actual load
address given that the entry point is immediately following the ELF

Use lwsync only when compiling for LP64 and revert to the more proven isync

the isync is needed to make sure I/O accesses are properly serialized with
locks and isync tends to be more effecient than sync.

This substantially reduces lock coverages for the global table lock and

- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not

sync performs a strict superset of the functions of eieio, so using both
is redundant. While here, expand bus barriers to all bus_space operations,
since many drivers do not correctly use bus_space_barrier().
In principle, we can also replace sync just with eieio, for a significant
performance increase, but it remains to be seen whether any poorly-written
drivers currently depend on the side effects of sync to properly function.

The tag enforces a single restriction that all DMA transactions must not
cross a 4GB boundary. Note that while this restriction technically only
applies to PCI-express, this change applies it to all PCI devices as it
is simpler to implement that way and errs on the side of caution.
- Add a softc structure for PCI bus devices to hold the bus_dma tag and
a new pci_attach_common() routine that performs actions common to the
attach phase of all PCI bus drivers. Right now this only consists of
a bootverbose printf and the allocate of a bus_dma tag if necessary.
- Adjust all PCI bus drivers to allocate a PCI bus softc and to call
pci_attach_common() from their attach routines.

These allow boundary constraints to be fully expressed for cases where
