This is done per request/suggestion from John Baldwin
who introduced the option. Trying to resume normal
system operation after a panic is very unpredictable
and dangerous. It will become even more dangerous
when we allow a thread in panic(9) to penetrate all
lock contexts.
I understand that the only purpose of this option was
for testing scenarios potentially resulting in panic.

This patch adds support for the Netlogic XLP mips64 processors in
the common MIPS code. The changes are :
- Add CPU_NLM processor type
- Add cases for CPU_NLM, mostly were CPU_RMI is used.
- Update cache flush changes for CPU_NLM
- Add kernel build configuration files for xLP.

Also, change opt_capabilities.h to opt_capsicum.h; for now, this will
only hold CAPABILITY_MODE, but it will probably also hold the new

This doesn't at all actually do radar detection! It's just
so developers who wish to test the net80211 DFS code can easily
do so. Without this flag, the DFS channels are never marked
DFS and thus the DFS stuff doesn't run.
o Setting td_intr_frame to the XIVs trap frame because it's referenced
by the ET event handler.
o Signal EOI to the CPU before calling the registered XIV handlers.
This prevents lost ITC interrupts, which cause starvation in one-shot
mode.
o Adding support for IPI_HARDCLOCK with corresponding per-CPU counters.
o Have the APs call cpu_initclocks() so as to limited the scattering of
clock related initialization. cpu_initclocks() calls the <self>_bsp()
or <self>_ap() version accordingly.
o Uncomment the ET clock handling in cpu_idle().
o Update the DDB 'show pcpu' output for the new MD fields.
o Entirely rewritten ia64_ih_clock(). Note that we don't create as many
clock XIVs as we have CPUs, as is done on PowerPC. It doesn't scale.
We can only have 240 XIVs and we can have more CPUs than that. There's
a single intrcnt index for the cumulative clock ticks and we keep per
CPU counts in the PCPU stats structure.
o Register the ITC by hooking SI_SUB_CONFIGURE (2nd order).
Open issues:
o Clock interrupts can still be lost. Some tweaking is still necessary.

struct inpcbgroup. pcbgroups, or "connection groups", supplement the
existing inpcbinfo connection hash table, which when pcbgroups are
enabled, might now be thought of more usefully as a per-protocol
4-tuple reservation table.
Connections are assigned to connection groups base on a hash of their
4-tuple; wildcard sockets require special handling, and are members
of all connection groups. During a connection lookup, a
per-connection group lock is employed rather than the global pcbinfo
lock. By aligning connection groups with input path processing,
connection groups take on an effective CPU affinity, especially when
aligned with RSS work placement (see a forthcoming commit for
details). This eliminates cache line migration associated with
global, protocol-layer data structures in steady state TCP and UDP
processing (with the exception of protocol-layer statistics; further
commit to follow).
Elements of this approach were inspired by Willman, Rixner, and Cox's
2006 USENIX paper, "An Evaluation of Network Stack Parallelization
Strategies in Modern Operating Systems". However, there are also
significant differences: we maintain the inpcb lock, rather than using
the connection group lock for per-connection state.
Likewise, the focus of this implementation is alignment with NIC
packet distribution strategies such as RSS, rather than pure software
strategies. Despite that focus, software distribution is supported
through the parallel netisr implementation, and works well in
configurations where the number of hardware threads is greater than
the number of NIC input queues, such as in the RMI XLR threaded MIPS
architecture.
Another important difference is the continued maintenance of existing
hash tables as "reservation tables" -- these are useful both to
distinguish the resource allocation aspect of protocol name management
and the more common-case lookup aspect. In configurations where
connection tables are aligned with hardware hashes, it is desirable to
use the traditional lookup tables for loopback or encapsulated traffic
rather than take the expense of hardware hashes that are hard to
implement efficiently in software (such as RSS Toeplitz).
Connection group support is enabled by compiling "options PCBGROUP"
into your kernel configuration; for the time being, this is an
experimental feature, and hence is not enabled by default.
Subject to the limited MFCability of change dependencies in inpcb,
and its change to the inpcbinfo init function signature, this change
in principle could be merged to FreeBSD 8.x.

This is in no way a complete DFS/radar detection implementation!
It merely creates an abstracted interface which allows for future
development of the DFS radar detection code.
Note: Net80211 already handles the bulk of the DFS machinery,
all we need to do here is figure out that a radar event has occured
and inform it as such. It then drives the DFS state engine for us.
The "null" DFS radar detection module is included by default;
it doesn't require a device line.
This commit:
* Adds a simple abstracted layer for radar detection state -
sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/;
* Implements a null DFS module which doesn't do anything;
(ie, implements the exact behaviour at the moment);
* Adds hooks to the ath driver to process received radar events
and gives the DFS module a chance to determine whether
a radar has been detected.

This introduce all the underlying support for making this possible (via
the function cpusetobj_strscan() and keeps ktr_cpumask exported. sparc64
implements its own assembly primitives for tracing events and needs to
properly check it. Anyway the sparc64 logic is not implemented yet due
to lack of knowledge (by me) and time (by marius), but it is just a
matter of using ktr_cpumask when possible.

Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.
# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \

Note that clang does not yet enable AVX support for any CPU. However at some
point in the future it will and since we definitely want to disable it for the
