Multipass device attachment was tested on many arm platforms by users and
only success was reported on the arm@ mailing list. This is just the
long-delayed followup of making it the default.
Multipass attachment is necessary when using vendor-supplied FDT data,
because our devices may need to be attached in a different order than they
are described in the FDT data.
device attachment on arm platforms. If this is defined, nexus attaches
early in BUS_PASS_BUS, and other busses and devices attach later, in the
pass number they are set up for. Without it defined, nexus attaches in
BUS_PASS_DEFAULT and thus so does everything else, which is status quo.
Arm platforms which use FDT data to enumerate devices have been relying
on devices being attached in the exact order they're listed in the dts
source file. That's one of things currently preventing us from using
vendor-supplied fdt data (because then we don't control the order of the
devices in the data). Multi-pass attachment can go a long way towards
solving that problem by ensuring things like clock and interrupt drivers
are attached before the more mundane devices that need them.
The long-term goal is to have all arm fdt-based platforms using multipass.
This option is a bridge to that, letting us enable it selectively as
platforms are converted and tested (the alternative being to just throw
a big switch and try to fight fires as they're reported).

ARM code is more complete.
Until more boards can be tested only use this with the Raspberry Pi and
rrename the functions on the other SoCs.

This is intended as a temporary measure to unbreak the build. The real fix
is to write event timer drivers for legacy arm hardware, then get rid of
this option completely. That's going to take a few days.
never actually ran on these chips (other than using SA1 support in an
emulator to do the early porting to FreeBSD long long ago). The clutter
and complexity of some of this code keeps getting in the way of other
maintenance, so it's time to go.
This was an optimization used only by a few xscale platforms. Part of
the optimization was to create a direct map for all physical pages, and
that resulted in making multiple mappings of pages in a way that bypassed
the logic in pmap.c to handle VIVT cache aliasing. It also just generally
made the code more complex and hard to maintain for all SoCs.

PV entries are now roughly half the size.
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 28 byte pv entries
(two 8-byte tailq nodes, a 4 byte pointer, a 4 byte address and 4 byte
flags), we allocate a page at a time per process.
This provides 252 pv entries per process (actually, per pmap address space)
and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since we now can track
per-process pv entries implicitly.
The pointer to the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to
find the metadata on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by
all 252 entries. There is an 8-int bitmap for the freelist of those 252
entries.
When in serious low memory condition, allocation of another pv_chunk is
possible by freeing some pages in pmap_pv_reclaim().
Added pv_entry/pv_chunk related statistics to pmap.
pv_entry/pv_chunk statistics can be accessed via sysctl vm.pmap.
Ported PTE freelist of KVA allocation and maintenance from i386.
Using an idea from Stephan Uphoff, use the empty pte's that correspond
to the unused kva in the pv memory block to thread a freelist through.
This allows us to free pages that used to be used for pv entry chunks
since we can now track holes in the kva memory block.
As both ARM pmap.c and pmap-v6.c use the same header and pv_entry, pmap and
md_page structures are different, it was needed to separate code designed
for ARMv6/7 from the one for other ARMs.

Add a new option, SKYEYE_WORKAROUNDS, which as the name suggests adds
workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
- Force the write-back of PTEs once we're done writing them, even if they
are supposed to be write-through. I don't know why I have to do that.
