Check if the trapped pc is inside of the demarked sections to implement
fault recovery for copyin etc, instead of pcb_onfault. Handle recovery
from data access exceptions as well as page faults.

basically maps all of physical memory 1:1 to a range of virtual addresses
outside of normal kva. The advantage of doing this instead of accessing
phsyical addresses directly is that memory accesses will go through the
data cache, and will participate in the normal cache coherency algorithm
for invalidating lines in our own and in other cpus' data caches. So
we don't have to flush the cache manually or send IPIs to do so on other
cpus. Also, since the mappings never change, we don't have to flush them
from the tlb manually.
This makes pmap_copy_page and pmap_zero_page MP safe, allowing the idle
zero proc to run outside of giant.

in their tlb which the prom doesn't clear out, so we have to do so manually
before mapping the kernel page table or the cpu can hang due various
conditions which cause undefined behaviour from the tlb.

Add macros for getting the page shift, size and mask for the physical page
that a tte maps (which may be one of several sizes).
Use the new cache functions for invalidating single pages.

TSB that cover the 4M kernel page(s), sot that pmap_kenter() will work
without having to treat these pages as a special case.

not blocked by raising the pil, a reciever may be interrupted while holding
a spinlock. If the sender does not defer interrupts throughout the entire
operation it may be interrupted and try to acquire a spinlock held by a
reciever, leading to a deadlock due to the synchronization used by the
ipi handlers themselves.

than the other implementations; we have complete control over the tlb, so we
only demap specific pages. We take advantage of the ranged tlb flush api
to send one ipi for a range of pages, and due to the pm_active optimization
we rarely send ipis for demaps from user pmaps.
Remove now unused routines to load the tlb; this is only done once outside
of the tlb fault handlers.
Minor cleanups to the smp startup code.
This boots multi user with both cpus active on a dual ultra 60 and on a
dual ultra 2.
Due to allocating tlb contexts on the fly, we only ever need to demap the
primary context, non-primary contexts have already been implicitly flushed
by context switching. All we really need to tell is if its a kernel demap
or not, and its easier just to compare against the kernel_pmap which is a
constant.
with pmaps. When the context numbers wrap around we flush all user mappings
from the tlb. This makes use of the array indexed by cpuid to allow a pmap
to have a different context number on a different cpu. If the context numbers
are then divided evenly among cpus such that none are shared, we can avoid
sending tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system for non-shared pmaps. This also
removes a limit of 8192 processes (pmaps) that could be active at any given
time due to running out of tlb contexts.

virtual page number in a much more convenient way; all in one piece. This
greatly simplifies the comparison for a matching tte, and allows the fault
handlers to be much simpler due to not having to load wierd masks.
Rewrite the tlb fault handlers to account for the new format. These are also
written to allow faults on the user tsb inside of the fault handlers; the
kernel fault handler must be aware of this and not clobber the other's
registers. The faults do not yet occur due to other support that is needed
(and still under my desk).
Bug fixes from: tmm
will be used to reduce the number of tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system
by sending one ipi for a whole range of pages, instead of one per page.
Munge the context demap operations slightly to support demapping a non-primary
context.
their duration. This is still only effective as long as they are
only used in the static kernel. Code in modules may cause instruction
faults which makes these break in different ways anyway.
2. Add a load bearing membar #Sync.
3. Add an inline for demapping an entire context.

- mostly complete kernel pmap support, and tested but currently turned
off userland pmap support
- low level assembly language trap, context switching and support code
- fully implemented atomic.h and supporting cpufunc.h
- some support for kernel debugging with ddb
- various header tweaks and filling out of machine dependent structures
