IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI. If the kernel
option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled). This
includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI. It works fine in both the NMI and
non-NMI cases.
originally wrote it for 4.x and hasn't really had the time to fully update
it to 5.x and later. Also, the author doesn't use the hardware anymore as
well. If someone does need this driver they can always resurrect it from
the Attic.

as they are already default for I686_CPU for almost 3 years, and
CPU_DISABLE_SSE always disables it. On the other hand, CPU_ENABLE_SSE
does not work for I486_CPU and I586_CPU.
This commit has:
- Removed the option from conf/options.*
- Removed the option and comments from MD NOTES files
- Simplified the CPU_ENABLE_SSE ifdef's so they don't
deal with CPU_ENABLE_SSE from kernel configuration. (*)
For most users, this commit should be largely no-op. If you used to
place CPU_ENABLE_SSE into your kernel configuration for some reason,
it is time to remove it.
(*) The ifdef's of CPU_ENABLE_SSE are not removed at this point, since
we need to change it to !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE) && defined(I686_CPU),
not just !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE), if we really want to do so.

lots of old interfaces, and digi now supports all cards that dgb
supported. The author of the driver says that this is no longer
necessary.
