in specific situations. The owner thread must be blocked, and the
borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.
Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock
the scheduler when we want to access it, as it's now "at hand".
DDB now shows a lot mor info for threaded proceses though it may need

Upcalls are now "bound" threads, but "KSE Lending" now means that
other completing syscalls can be completed using that KSE before the upcall
finally makes it back to the UTS. (getting threads OUT OF THE KERNEL is
one of the highest priorities in the KSE system.) The upcall when it happens
will present all the completed syscalls to the KSE for selection.

Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

MD function is just a wrapper around db_stack_trace_cmd() that prints out
a backtrace of curthread. Currently, this function is only implemented
on i386 and alpha (and the alpha version isn't quite tested yet, will do
that in a bit). Other changes:
- For i386, fix a bug in the raw frame address case. The eip we extract
from the passed in frame address does not match the frame we received.
Thus, instead of printing a bogus frame with the wrong eip, go ahead
and advance frame down to the same frame as the eip we are using.
- For alpha, attempt to add a way of doing a raw trace for alpha. Instead
of passing a frame address in 'addr', pass in a pointer to a structure
containing PC and KSP and use those to start the backtrace. The alpha
db_print_backtrace() uses asm to read in the current PC and KSP values
into such a request.

This patch addresses a bug that can cause a GPF in the kernel - if a
process makes use of i386_set_ldt to install a LDT entry, then loads
a corresponding segment descriptor into %gs, forks, and if the child
execs.
In this scenario, setregs executes user_ldt_free and then determines
how to reset the %gs register:
/* reset %gs as well */
if (pcb == curpcb)
load_gs(_udatasel);
else
pcb->pcb_gs = _udatasel;
This is insufficient in the fork/exec case, since pcb will be equal
to curpcb when the child execs; load_gs will reset %gs to _udatasel
but it doesn't reset pcb->pcb_gs; upon return from the system call,
cpu_switch_load_gs will thus attempt to restore %gs from pcb->pcb_gs
and trigger a GPF since all LDT entries have already been cleared.
The fix is to always reset pcb->pcb_gs to _udatasel.
