in specific situations. The owner thread must be blocked, and the
borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.
Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock
the scheduler when we want to access it, as it's now "at hand".
DDB now shows a lot mor info for threaded proceses though it may need
some optimisation to squeeze it all back into 80 chars again.

Upcalls are now "bound" threads, but "KSE Lending" now means that
other completing syscalls can be completed using that KSE before the upcall
finally makes it back to the UTS. (getting threads OUT OF THE KERNEL is
one of the highest priorities in the KSE system.) The upcall when it happens
will present all the completed syscalls to the KSE for selection.
1) It never was very funny.
2) It was a N line shell script where N is less than
X, where X is the number of lines of the Berkeley
copyright and license.
3) I rewrote it in C with the intention of making it
more interactive, ala the movie, but never did.
4) Because it really is possible for at least some
parts of a distribution to shrink between releases.

The problem is that the code does a check for the granparent of
the Promise chip, if this is a bridge of the right type, we have
a TX4 on our hands, and need to handle that ones "issues".
Now the grandparent check cause subtle bugs in the newbus system,
mainly that pci_get_devid doesn't return an error value.
This patch works around the issue by using BUS_READ_IVAR() instead.
structure. This has been broken since 1998, but probably hasn't been
noticed because it takes a read/write of 64K blocks (32MB with 512 byte
blocks) to trigger using the 12 byte read/write CDB in scsi_read_write().

I still need to polish a little more before I commit it. If you don't

o Allow the bus_debug variable to be set via the bus.debug tunable.
o Return pnpinfo and location info via the devinfo interface to userland.
devinfo(8) needs to be updated to print it.
o Better resume code. Move the comments around. Force the socket state to
be querried. Ack the interrupts properly.
o Intercept the interrupt requests and keep a list of interrupts to service
ourselves. When the card attaches, set its OK bit. When we get a card
status change interrupt for that card, clear the OK bit. Don't call the
ISR if the OK bit is cleared. Iwasaki-san and yamamoto-san have both
sent me patches that fix the same problem this fixes, but at the pccard

give us slightly better error checking than before and interpret what
default bits mean better. See the NetBSD CVS tree for the authors of
these changes (revs 1.10 .. 1.17).
Note, we return the PCI pnp info, but in fact that's wrong to do
since that data is not defined for CardBus cards. CardBus says that
these registers are undefined and one should use the CIS to do
device matching. To date, all CardBus cards have had these
registered defined, no doubt because they are using common silicon
to produce both the PCI cards and the CardBus cards. However, it isn't
any worse than the rest of the system, so just note it in passing and
move on.
o Also sort prototypes while I'm here.
