address and use this mechanism when:
1. kmem_alloc_{attr,contig}() can't find suitable free pages in the physical
memory allocator's free page lists. This replaces the long-standing
approach of scanning the inactive and inactive queues, converting clean
pages into PG_CACHED pages and laundering dirty pages. In contrast, the
new mechanism does not use PG_CACHED pages nor does it trigger a large
number of I/O operations.
2. on 32-bit MIPS processors, uma_small_alloc() and the pmap can't find
free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists that are
covered by the direct map. Tested by: adrian
3. ttm_bo_global_init() and ttm_vm_page_alloc_dma32() can't find suitable
free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists.
In the coming months, I expect that this new mechanism will be applied in
other places. For example, balloon drivers should use relocation to
minimize fragmentation of the guest physical address space.
Make vm_phys_alloc_contig() a little smarter (and more efficient in some
cases). Specifically, use vm_phys_segs[] earlier to avoid scanning free
page lists that can't possibly contain suitable pages.

EFI return values set the high bit to indicate an error. The log
messages changed here are printed only in the case of an error,
so including the error bit is redundant. Also switch to decimal to
match the error definitions (in sys/boot/efi/include/efierr.h).

During fork p_starcopy - p_endcopy area of a process is populated with bcopy
with only proc lock held. Another forking thread can find such a process and
proceed to access p_pgrp included in said area.
Fix the problem by moving the field outside. It is being properly assigned
later.

communicate with the firmware.
The ci20 port (by kan@) is going to reuse almost all of the intrng code
since the SoC in question looks suspiciously like someone took an ARM
SoC design and replaced the ARM core with a MIPS core.
* migrate out the code;
* rename ARM_ -> INTR_;
* rename arm_ -> intr_;
* move the interrupt flush routine from intr.c / intrng.c into
arm/machdep_intr.c - removing the code duplication and removing
the ARM specific bits from here.
Thanks to the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere line for allowing
me a couple hours of quiet time to finish the universe builds.
Tested:
* make universe
TODO:
* The structure definitions in subr_intr.c still includes machine/intr.h
which requires one duplicates all of the intrng definitions in
the platform code (which kan has done, and I think we don't have to.)
Instead I should break out the generic things (function declarations,
common intr structures, etc) into a separate header.
* Kan has requested I make the PIC based IPI stuff optional.
I don't know what alternate universe I was inhabiting when I wrote it
originally, but apparently the basic workings of mathematics were different
than in this universe. I also can't explain how it ever worked, except "by
accident", because completely bogus values were being written into the
divisor register.
Different revisions support different operations. Refer to Intel
External Design Specifications to figure out what your hardware
supports.

instead of GMBUS access for I2C transfers. The GMBUS driver falls back
to this mode when a transfer times out. However, the first transfer to
timeout was sending the request back to itself resulting in an panic due
to recursing on a lock. Fix it to forward the request on to the proper
device. This appears to have been accidentally changed in r277487.

It turns out the callers of vm_page_replace know exactly which page they are
replacing and would like to assert about it. Change those from hard panics to
KASSERTs, and provide them with a wrapper so they don't have to deal with
warnings from an INVARIANTS-dependent dead store of the return value of
vm_page_replace.

the #address-cells property set. For this we need to read more data before
the parent interrupt description.
this is only enabled on arm64 for now as it's not quite compliant with the
ePAPR spec. We should use a default of 2 where the #address-cells property
is missing, however this will need further testing across architectures.

Rather than pushing all eight possible arguments into dtrace_probe()'s
stack frame, make the syscall_args struct for the current syscall available
via the current thread. Using a custom getargval method for the systrace
provider, this allows any syscall argument to be fetched, even in kernels
that have modified the maximum number of system call arguments.

With the new VOP_GETPAGES() KPI the "count" argument counts pages already,

While here make it consistent that *rbehind and *rahead are updated only

- Use SDT_PROBE<N>() instead of SDT_PROBE(). This has no functional effect
at the moment, but will be needed for some future changes.
- Don't hardcode the module component of the probe identifier. This is
set automatically by the SDT framework.
