FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.

miscconfigured case) if the port is the console. This fixes several
bugs:
- if all sioprobe()s failed, then the console driver followed null
pointers in cdevsw[].
- if the sioprobe() for the console failed but another sioprobe()
succeeded, then init hung early when the console couldn't be
opened.
- it was silly for the console to not be there after printing boot
messages on it.
Bugs introduced by this are hopefully no worse than old ones caused
by forcing the success of the `cn' level probe.
Only complain about an irq mismatch in the probe if the configured
irq doesn't become active, and then print the bitmap of irqs that
became active (including clock irqs) instead of just the first
(not including clock irqs).

functional) hack that copies a real-mode function into low memory
early in locore.s.

were not being deleted when the reference count went to zero."

Removed related unused complications for the APIC_IO case. Removed the
no-test3 flag.
Deverbosified the failure messages for the other tests. Removed the
per-port verbose flag - just use the general verbose flag.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

Althought the comments say the datasheet doesn't list the device ID

This reduced the number of interrupts sent to the wrong CPU, due to
the cpu having the global lock being inside a critical region.

BIOS does not disable local APIC, and virtual wire mode through local
APIC may cause int 15.
