Add a pmap function, pmap_demote_DMAP(), by which the MTRR module can
ensure that the direct map region doesn't have such a mapping.

use pmap_extract() rather than pmap_kextract() on direct map addresses.
Thus, pmap_extract() needs to be able to deal with 1GB page mappings if
we are to use 1GB page mappings for the direct map. (See r197580.)

trap frame when trap initiated kdb entry, incorrectly calculated the
value of %rsp for trapped thread.
According to Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3A: System Programming Guide, Part 1, rev. 035, 6.14.2 64-Bit Mode
Stack Frame, "64-bit mode ... pushes SS:RSP unconditionally, rather than
only on a CPL change."
Even assuming the conditional push of the %ss:%rsp, the calculation
was still wrong because sizeof(tf_ss) + sizeof(tf_rsp) == 16 on amd64.
Always use the tf_rsp from trap frame. The change supposedly fixes
stepping when using kgdb backend for kdb.

This patch is significantly based on previous work by jkim.
List of changes:
- added comments that describe topology uniformity assumption
- added reference to Intel Processor Topology Enumeration article
- documented a few global variables that describe topology
- retired weirdly set and used logical_cpus variable
- changed fallback code for mp_ncpus > 0 case, so that CPUs are treated
as being different packages rather than cores in a single package
- moved AMD-specific code to topo_probe_amd [jkim]
- in topo_probe_0x4() follow Intel-prescribed procedure of deriving SMT
and core masks and match APIC IDs against those masks [started by
jkim]
- in topo_probe_0x4() drop code for double-checking topology parameters
by looking at L1 cache properties [jkim]
- in topo_probe_0xb() add fallback path to topo_probe_0x4() as
prescribed by Intel [jkim]
Still to do:
- prepare for upcoming AMD CPUs by using new mechanism of uniform
topology description [pointed by jkim]
- probe cache topology in addition to CPU topology and probably use that
for scheduler affinity topology; e.g. Core2 Duo and Athlon II X2 have
the same CPU topology, but Athlon cores do not share L2 cache while
Core2's do (no L3 cache in both cases)
- think of supporting non-uniform topologies if they are ever
implemented for platforms in question
- think how to better described old HTT vs new HTT distinction, HTT vs
SMT can be confusing as SMT is a generic term
- more robust code for marking CPUs as "logical" and/or "hyperthreaded",
use HTT mask instead of modulo operation
- correct support for halting logical and/or hyperthreaded CPUs, let
scheduler know that it shouldn't schedule any threads on those CPUs

KVA space is abundant on amd64, so there is no reason to limit kernel
map size to a fraction of available physical memory. In fact, it could
be larger than physical memory.
This should help with memory auto-tuning for ZFS and shouldn't affect
other workloads.
This should reduce number of circumstances for "kmem_map too small"
panics, but probably won't eliminate them entirely due to potential kmem
fragmentation.
In fact, you might want/need to limit maximum ARC size after this commit
if you need to resrve more memory for applications.
This change was discussed on arch@ and nobody said "don't do it".

The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

Bring in a driver for the LSI Logic MPT2 6Gb SAS controllers.
This driver supports basic I/O, and works with SAS and SATA drives and
expanders.
Basic error recovery works (i.e. timeouts and aborts) as well.
Integrated RAID isn't supported yet, and there are some known bugs.
So this isn't ready for production use, but is certainly ready for
testing and additional development. For the moment, new commits to this
driver should go into the FreeBSD Perforce repository first
(//depot/projects/mps/...) and then get merged into -current once
they've been vetted.
This has only been added to the amd64 GENERIC, since that is the only
architecture I have tested this driver with.

It is more appropriate in this context because TSC MSR is reset to zero
when the CPU is restarted from S3 and above. Move acpi_resync_clock() back
to where it was before r211202. It does not make a difference any more.
As long as interrupts are disabled and there is not explicit call to
sched_add() there can't be any preemption there, thus the calls may be
consistent.

However, that doesn't explicitly prevent preemption and thread

constructed a mask for a single CPU with calls to ipi_cpu() instead. This
will matter more in the future when we transition from cpumask_t to
cpuset_t for CPU masks in which case building a CPU mask is more expensive.

savectx() is only used for panic dump (dumppcb) and kdb (stoppcbs). Thus,
saving additional information does not hurt and it may be even beneficial.
Unfortunately, struct pcb has grown larger to accommodate more data.
Move 512-byte long pcb_user_save to the end of struct pcb while I am here.
- savectx() now saves FPU state unconditionally and copy it to the PCB of
FPU thread if necessary. This gives panic dump and kdb a chance to take
a look at the current FPU state even if the FPU is "supposedly" not used.
- Resuming CPU now unconditionally reinitializes FPU. If the saved FPU
state was irrelevant, it could be in an unknown state.
