hardclock() tick should be run on every active CPU, or on only one.
On my tests, avoiding extra interrupts because of this on 8-CPU Core i7
system with HZ=10000 saves about 2% of performance. At this moment option
implemented only for global timers, as reprogramming per-CPU timers is
too expensive now to be compensated by this benefit, especially since we
still have to regularly run hardclock() on at least one active CPU to
update system uptime. For global timer it is quite trivial: timer runs
always, but we just skip IPIs to other CPUs when possible.
Option is enabled by default now, keeping previous behavior, as periodic
hardclock() calls are still used at least to implement setitimer(2) with
ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF arguments. But since default schedulers don't
depend on it since r232917, we are much more free to experiment with it.

3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now ``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of
``sockaddr *''. While here, un-document RTM_RESOLVE cmd argument for
ifa_rtrequest() that became a stub after separating L2 tables in r186119.

Winbond Super I/O chips.
With minor efforts it should be possible the extend the driver to support
further chips/revisions available from Winbond. In the simplest case
only new IDs need to be added, while different chipsets might require
their own function to enter extended function mode, etc.

that it is better to error out when people attempt to build using the
wrong bsd.*.mk files, than to silently ignore the problem.
This means, that after this commit, if you want to build kernel modules
by hand (or via a port) from a head source tree, you *must* make sure
the files in /usr/share/mk are in sync with that tree. If that isn't
possible, for example when you are running on an older FreeBSD branch,
you can:
- Run "make buildenv" from your head source tree, to have the correct
environment setup. (It's advisable to have run "make buildworld", or
at a minimum "make toolchain" first.)
- Alternatively, set MAKESYSPATH to the share/mk directory under your
head source tree. If your build tools are too old, other problems may
still occur.
- Alternatively, use "make -m" and specify the share/mk directory under
your head source tree. Again, build tools that are too old may still
result in trouble.

kernel modules using their old installed /usr/share/mk/bsd.*.mk files,
instead of the updated ones in their source tree. This leads to errors
like:
"sys/conf/kmod.mk", line 111: Malformed conditional (${MK_CLANG_IS_CC} == "no" && ${CC:T:Mclang} != "clang")
Obviously, these errors will go away after a "make installworld", or
alternatively, by using "make buildenv" before attempting to manually
build modules.
However, since it is apparently an expected use case to build using old
.mk files, change the way we test for clang, so it also works when the
MK_CLANG_IS_CC macro doesn't exist.
Note the conditional expressions are becoming rather unreadable now, but
I will attempt to fix that on a followup commit.

pci_find_cap(), pci_get_max_read_req(), pci_get_vpd_ident(),
pci_get_vpd_readonly(), pci_msi_count(), pci_msix_count(),
pci_pending_msix(), pci_release_msi(), pci_remap_msix(), and
pci_set_max_read_req().
- Group the functions into five sub-sections: raw configuration access,
locating devices, device information, device configuration, and
message signaled interrupts.
- Discourage use of pci_disable_io() and pci_enable_io() in device drivers.
The PCI bus driver handles this automatically as resources are activated.

get rid of testing explicitly for clang (using ${CC:T:Mclang}) in
individual Makefiles.
Instead, use the following extra macros, for use with clang:
- NO_WERROR.clang (disables -Werror)
- NO_WCAST_ALIGN.clang (disables -Wcast-align)
- NO_WFORMAT.clang (disables -Wformat and friends)
- CLANG_NO_IAS (disables integrated assembler)
- CLANG_OPT_SMALL (adds flags for extra small size optimizations)
As a side effect, this enables setting CC/CXX/CPP in src.conf instead of
make.conf! For clang, use the following:
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp
