- When the error is detected for the first time, the psm driver will
throw few data bytes (up to entire packet size) and see if it can
get back to sync.
- If the error still persists, the psm driver disable/enable the mouse
and see if it works.
- If the error still persists and the count goes up to 20,
the psm driver reset and reinitialize the mouse. The counter
is reset to zero.
- It also discards an incomplete data packet when the interval
between two consequtive bytes are longer than pre-defined timeout
(2 seconds). The last byte which arrived late will be regarded as
the first byte of a new packet. This is louie's idea.

since dev->descr now points into no longer allocated memory, the

been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
