when the bit 22 is set to 1, CPUID with EAX=0 returns a maximum
value in EAX[7..0] of 3, when set to 0(default), CPUID with EAX=0
returns the number corresponding to the maximum standard function
supported. On my machine, BIOS sets the bit to 1 to make it to be
compatible with old OS, this causes dual-core Pentium-D (two
physical cores) to be identified as hyperthreading (two logical
cores) by function mp_topology().
sector size, instead of later failing with an error about /boot/mbr
not being a multiple of the sector size (since we end up with an
assumed sector size of MAX_SEC_SIZE * 2).
- We query the sector size via an IOCTL anyway, so if that succeeds
use that instead of probing for it via read(2) calls. This fixes
the problem with fdisk failing to operate on at least graid3 and
md(4) devices on kernels with src/sys/geom/geom_dev.c before
rev. 1.90, due to fdisk failing to detect the sector size.
- When detecting the root device allow "/" characters in it, which
happens with e.g. gmirror devices.

offset or request size which is not a multiple of the sector size, make
sure that the bio is set to indicate that no data has actually been
transferred.
The result of this is that the file offset is no longer incremented for
these requests. The fact that the file offset was incremented broke
fdisk(8)'s probing of sector size for non-512 byte sector sizes.

It is similar to debug.kdb.trap, except for it tries to cause a page fault
via a call to an invalid pointer. This can highlight differences between
a fault on data access vs. a fault on code call some CPUs might have.

the return address on the stack and only then "dereferences" %pc.
Therefore, in the case of a call to an invalid address, we arrive
to the trap handler with the invalid value in tf_eip. This used
to prevent db_backtrace() from assigning the most recent and interesting
frame on the stack to the right spot in the right function, from
which the invalid call was attempted.
Try to detect and work around that by recovering the return address
from the stack.
The work-around requires the fault address be passed to db_backtrace().
Smuggle it as tf_err.

The improvements are:
- can get the kld info from core files via kvm(3);
- can use kldstat(2) directly, which is a piece of cake;
- can use .symbols or whatever, which allows for use by
non-developers when reporting system crashes -- now asf(8)
can be mentioned in the handbook at last;
- speed (no more double fts(3) per loaded module);
- various bugs fixed.
At the same time, the new asf(8) should stay compatible with
the old one, bar bugs. Perhaps some defaults may be changed
later to match today's state of affairs.

The boot loader is supposed to leave this bit set to the right value
for the board. If this bit was set at attach time, use it to init the
config register correctly.
Note: this means the boot loader has to properly initialize it.
