active or not. The only sane thing we can do here is assume that if
APM is supported it might be active at some point, and bail.
In reality, even this isn't good enough; regardless of whether we support
APM or not, the system may well futz with the CPU's clock speed and throw
the TSC off. We need to stop using it for timekeeping except under
controlled circumstances. Curse the lack of a dependable high-resolution
timer.

The primary use for this function is synchronised update of per-cpu private
data. The implementation is almost (but not quite) MI; with a better
mechanism for masking per-CPU interrupts it could probably be hoisted.

1. Rise is recognized in identdcpu.c.
2. The TSC is not written to. A workaround for the CPU bug is being
applied to clock.c (the bug being that the mP6 has TSC enabled
in its CPUID-capabilities, but it only supports reading it. If we
try to write to it (MSR 16), a GPF occurs.) The new behavior is that
FreeBSD will _not_ zero the TSC. Instead, we do a bit of 64-bit
arithmetic.

The old version only worked right when the time was read strictly
more often than every 1/HZ seconds, but we only guarantee reading
it every (1/HZ + epsilon) seconds. Part of rev.1.126-1.127 attempted
to fix this but didn't succeed. Detect counter rollover using the
heuristic from the old version of microtime() with additional
complications for supporting calls from fast interrupt handlers.
This works provided i8254 interrupts are not delayed by more than
1/(2*HZ) seconds.
This needs more comments, and cleanups for the SMP case, and more
testing of the SMP case before it is merged into RELENG_3.

- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector

accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.

Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the

the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()

Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
