structure with the first 4 registers to allow a wider range of boot
loaders to work. Future commits will make use of this to centralize
support for the different loaders.
- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

o add bus shim for cfi driver
o add static mapping for CS0 (we map all 16M as the cfi driver doesn't
support demand mapping)
Note this needs some tweaking to work for 2358 boards which is why the
CAMBRIA config is not touched.
o recognize ixp435 cpu
o change memory layout for for ixp4xx to not assume memory is aliases
to 0x10000000 (Cambria/ixp435 memory starts at zero)
o handle 64 irqs for ixp435
o dual EHCI USB 2.0 controller integral to ixp435
o overhaul NPE code for ixp435 and better MAC+MII naming
o updated NPE firmware (including NPE-A image for ixp435/ixp465)
o Gateworks Cambria board support:
- IDE compact flash
- MCU
- front panel LED on i2c bus
- Octal LED latch
Sanity-tested with NFS-root on Avila and Cambria boards. Requires
pending boot2 mods for CF-boot on Cambria.
- Pull all the code to deal with the trampoline stuff into one
centeralized place and use it from everywhere.
- Some minor style tidiness

silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.
As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).

Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.
