boot stage the same as an FDT loaded from disk.

Instead, #define it to be a variable, vm_max_kernel_address, just like we

Microoptimize i8254 one-shot operation mode (disabled by default to allow
timecounter functionality) by not writing to mode and MSB registers when
it is not required. This saves several microseconds of CPU time per call,
reducing minimal measured interrupts interval to 19.5us.
on a core, when the core was stopped, by calling kgdb_trgt_core_pcb().
This has 2 advantages:
1. We don't need to include a machine-specific header anymore and as
such kthr.c is truly machine independent. This allows the code to
be used in a cross-debugger.
2. We don't need to lookup stoppcbs in generic code when it's an
inherently target-spicific symbol. It does not exist for ia64.
Implement kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() for all architectures, except ia64, by
calling a common function called kgdb_trgt_stop_pcb(). This function
differs from kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() in that it gets the size of the PCB
structure as an argument and as such remains machine independent.
On ia64 the PCB for stopped cores is in the PCPU structure itself.
This for better scaling. The implementation of kgdb_trgt_core_pcb()
for ia64 uses the cpuid_to_pcpu[] array to to obtain the address of
the PCB structure.
points to the TLS in user space and points to the PCPU structure in
the kernel. The race is the result of having the exception handler on
the one hand and the RPC system call entry on the other. The EPC
syscall path is non-atomic in that interrupts are enabled while the
two stacks are switched. The register stack is switched last as that
is the stack used to determine whether we're going back to user space
by the exception handler. If we go back to user space, we restore r13,
otherwise we leave r13 alone. The EPC syscall path however set r13 to
the PCPU structure *before* switching the register stack, which means
that there was a window in which the exception handler would restore
r13 when it was already pointing to the PCPU structure. This is fatal
when the exception happened on CPU x, but left from the exception on
anotehr CPU. In that case r13 would point to the PCPU of the CPU the
thread was running on. This immediately results in getting the wrong
value for curthread.
The fix is to make sure we assign r13 *after* we set ar.bspstore to
point to the kernel register stack for the thread.
SDHCI driver

- Set initilization sequence frequency to 8MHz. It should fix Data CRC
errors. Standard requires initialization sequence to be executed
at 400KHz but on this hardware low frequncies seems to cause
Data CRC errors.
Value was derived from analyzing hardware signals after
Raspberry Pi is powered up. Before any data is read though DATA line
adapter's clock frequency is changed to 8MHz.
Modern cards should function fine at 8MHz but for older MMC cards it
can be overriden by setting hw.bcm2835.sdhci.min_freq tunable.
- Replace divisor numbers with more descirptive names
- Properly calculate minimum frequency for SDHCI 3.0
- Properly calculate frequency for SDHCI 3.0 in mmcbr_set_clock
- Add min_freq method to sdhci_if.m and provide default
implementation. By re-implementing this method hardware
drivers can control frequency controller operates when
executing initialization sequence
