flags field. Updates to the atomic flags are performed using the atomic
ops on the containing word, do not require any vm lock to be held, and
are non-blocking. The vm_page_aflag_set(9) and vm_page_aflag_clear(9)
functions are provided to modify afalgs.
Document the changes to flags field to only require the page lock.
Introduce vm_page_reference(9) function to provide a stable KPI and
KBI for filesystems like tmpfs and zfs which need to mark a page as
referenced.

to VPO_UNMANAGED (and also making the flag protected by the vm object
lock, instead of vm page queue lock).
- Mark the fake pages with both PG_FICTITIOUS (as it is now) and
VPO_UNMANAGED. As a consequence, pmap code now can use use just
VPO_UNMANAGED to decide whether the page is unmanaged.

- For amd64/i386 remove the storage of intr* stuff from assembly files.
This area can be widely improved by applying the same to other
architectures and likely finding an unified approach among them and
move the whole code to be MI. More work in this area is expected to
happen fairly soon.

instead of a PCPU field for curthread. This averts a race on SMP systems
with a high interrupt rate where the thread looking up the value of
curthread could be preempted and migrated between obtaining the PCPU
pointer and reading the value of pc_curthread, resulting in curthread being
observed to be the current thread on the thread's original CPU. This played
merry havoc with the system, in particular with mutexes. Many thanks to
jhb for helping me work this one out.
Note that Book-E is in principle susceptible to the same problem, but has
not been modified yet due to lack of Book-E hardware.

some interesting bugs (mostly on SMP systems) with atomic operations
silently failing in interrupt heavy situations, especially when using
overflow pages.

memory, causing kernel page faults or machine checks, most easily
triggered by using GDB. While here, add an additional safeguard to only
sync cacheable memory.

Renovate and improve the AIM Open Firmware support:
- Add RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) support, found on all IBM systems
and some Apple ones
- Improve support for 32-bit real mode Open Firmware systems
- Pull some more OF bits over from the AIM directory
- Fix memory detection on IBM LPARs and systems with more than one /memory

sf buf allocation, use wakeup() instead of wakeup_one() to notify sf
buffer waiters about free buffer.
sf_buf_alloc() calls msleep(PCATCH) when SFB_CATCH flag was given,
and for simultaneous wakeup and signal delivery, msleep() returns
EINTR/ERESTART despite the thread was selected for wakeup_one(). As
result, we loose a wakeup, and some other waiter will not be woken up.

Many thanks to Peter Grehan for suggesting this design and implementing

DPCPU_DEFINE and VNET_DEFINE macros, as these cause problems for various
people working on the affected files. A better long-term solution is
still being considered. This reversal may give some modules empty
set_pcpu or set_vnet sections, but these are harmless.

performance on SMP Cell systems running without a hypervisor will be
suboptimal.
mappings need to end up in the kernel anyway since the kernel begins
executing in OF context. Separating them adds needless complexity,
especially since the powerpc64 and mmu_oea64 code gave up on it a long
time ago.
As a side effect, the PPC ofw_machdep code is no longer AIM-specific,
so move it to powerpc/ofw.
