initialize the alignment tag. Honor and pass a callers request to contigalloc
if they had a non-zero alignment constraint.
specified in the kernel config file - but setting options MAXMEM works
exactly the same. Userconfig overrides of this have not worked for
ages.
Also, change the getenv for the loader override to hw.physmem based on a
prior suggestion from Mike Smith. I think he still wants to change this
some, but this shouldn't get in his way. This is a forced setting of
the memory size, not a "cap". We probably should have a plain 'maxmem'
variable as well which does do a cap, without loosing the bios memory
configuration data.
compiles cleanly on the Alpha. (On the alpha, the port type is an int,
not a short).
Cast a couple of pointers to ints via 'uintptr_t' rather than 'unsigned
int' since uintptr_t is long (64 bit) on Alpha, as are pointers.
memory size. If somebody wants to change the name, fine - I used this
since it's consistant with the config variable it replaces.
This is intended to replace the npx0 msize hack (which no longer works).
SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface. kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook. This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process. This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.
One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process. It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit. This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available". This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.
This doesn't change the size or alignment of the structure on either i386
or Alpha, and thus should be binary-compatible (modulo problems with old
applications and routes with more than 2^15 references).

The following ugly hack to the exit path of nfs_readlinkrpc() circumvents
an Auspex bug: for symlinks longer than 112 (0x70) they return a 1024 byte
xdr string - the correct data with many nulls appended. Without this fix
namei returns ENAMETOOLONG, at least it does on our source base and on
FreeBSD 3.0. Note we do not (and should not) rely upon their null padding.
