is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
was likely to be counted as idle time.
Note that we are counting time spent in software interrupt handlers as
interrupt time, so this invalidates the i386 meaning of intr_nesting_level.

The old code was spread out through the machdep code and was sloppy about
enabling and disabling the FEN bit (which controls access to the FP
register set). This caused a DIAGNOSTIC warning "DANGER WILL ROBINSON:
FEN SET IN cpu_fork!" sometimes when operating under high loads and could
conceivably lead to processes getting incorrect FP results.
The new code is much more strict about the FEN bit and makes sure that
*only* fpcurproc ever has it enabled. This also allows us to remove a
section of code from the exception_return path which might improve
performance marginally.

work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha
referenced by the build of user-space libraries. These files were
obtained from NetBSD (with ansi.h being modified to reflect the FreeBSD
off_t and pid_t implementation).
