* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

machines. The patch uses an existing global variable in place of the
newbus accessor to get at use_bwx.
This is a quick fix to get miatas booting again; somebody
with more newbus skills than I can muster will have to correct it.
Matt Jacob's description of the problem from the -alpha list:
The IVAR accessor stuff for pcib is incompletely specified for CIA. There's
only one accessor defined, and that's to get the BUS instance number.
<..>
The device methods that try and get at the use_bwx get overriden because
there's only one ivar for CIA's pcib, and that's for hose #, and it's always
zero.
foo_pcib_[read|write]_config() functions rather than relying on
a break or return being in the CFG macro.
This fixes a panic later in the boot process on a UP1000. From
inspection, it looks like this fixes a similar problem in the tsunami code.

the drivers.
* Remove legacy inx/outx support from chipset and replace with macros
which call busspace.
* Rework pci config accesses to route through the pcib device instead of
calling a MD function directly.
With these changes it is possible to cleanly support machines which have
more than one independantly numbered PCI busses. As a bonus, the new
busspace implementation should be measurably faster than the old one.
In summary:
o This file has been moved to sys/compat/linux,
o Any MD syscalls in this file are moved to
linux_machdep.c in sys/i386/linux,
o Include directives, makefiles and config files
have been updated.
that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

hose are 16 PCI instances apart. This allows us to recognize secondary
PCI busses (at least to a first level) until the pci infrastructure is
fixed.
Turn on support for secondary cycles, too. Redo debug printouts.
