arm platform. Add all the atmel boards to the ATMEL kernel for
testing purposes. Until boot loader arg parsing of baord type
is done, this won't actually be able to do the runtime selection.
This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX
respectively.

usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
are provided.

pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.
Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.
As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

the boot arguments and converts them to the /boot/loader metadata the
rest of the kernel uses. parse_boot_param is a weak alias to
fake_preload_metadata, which all the platforms use now, but may become
more extensive in the future.
Since it is a weak symbol, specific boards may define their own
parse_boot_param to interface to custom boot loaders.

in_cksum.h required ip.h to be included for struct ip. To be
able to use some general checksum functions like in_addword()
in a non-IPv4 context, limit the (also exported to user space)
IPv4 specific functions to the times, when the ip.h header is
present and IPVERSION is defined (to 4).
We should consider more general checksum (updating) functions
to also allow easier incremental checksum updates in the L3/4
stack and firewalls, as well as ponder further requirements by
certain NIC drivers needing slightly different pseudo values
in offloading cases. Thinking in terms of a better "library".

New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).
Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on

implement a deprecated FPU control interface in addition to the
standard one. To make this clearer, further deprecate ieeefp.h
by not declaring the function prototypes except on architectures
that implement them already.
Currently i386 and amd64 implement the ieeefp.h interface for
compatibility, and for fp[gs]etprec(), which doesn't exist on
most other hardware. Powerpc, sparc64, and ia64 partially implement
it and probably shouldn't, and other architectures don't implement it
at all.
- A race condition could happen if two threads were using RAS at the same time
as the code didn't reset RAS_END, the RAS code could believe we were not in
a RAS, when we were in fact.
- Using signed value logic to compare addresses wasn't such a good idea.

cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
