Now that the atomic macros are always genuinely atomic on x86, they can
be used for synchronization with Xen. A single core VM isn't too
unusual, but actual single core hardware is uncommon.
Replace an open-coding of evtchn_clear_port() with the inline.

This obsolete system call is not supported by glibc. In ancient libc
versions (before glibc 2.0), uselib() was used to load the shared
libraries with names found in an array of names in the binary.
On Linux, since 3.15, this system call is available only when
the kernel is configured with the CONFIG_USELIB option.
It doesn't look like anyone needs this syscall for others Linuxulators,
so move it to the corresponding MD Linuxulator.

This is a followup of 692e19cf51 (add netlink to GENERIC@amd64).
Netlink is a communication protocol defined in RFC 3549. It is async,
TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications between kernel
and userland. Netlink is currently used in Linux kernel to modify, read and
subscribe for nearly all networking states. Interface state, addresses, routes,
firewall, rules, fibs, etc, are controlled via Netlink.
Netlink support was added in D36002. It has got a number of improvements and
first customers since then:
* net/bird2 got netlink support, enabling route multipath in FreeBSD
* netlink-based devd notifications are being worked on ( D37574 ).
* linux(4) fully supports and depends on Netlink
Enabling Netlink in GENERIC targets two goals.
The first one is to provide stability for the third-party userland applications,
so they can rely on the fact that netlink always exists since 14.0 and potentially 13.2.
Loadable module makes life of the app delepers harder. For example, `net/bird2` can be
either build with netlink or rtsock support, but not both.
The second goal is to enable gradual conversion of the base userland tools
to use netlink(4) interfaces. Converting tools like netstat (D36529), route,
ifconfig one-by-one simplifies testing and addressing the feedback.
Othewise, switching all base to use netlink at once may be too big of a leap.

The option is not even recognized and with that patched it does not
compile. Even if it did work, it would be prohibitively expensive to
use.
Interested parties can use pmcstat or dtrace instead.
Until bnxt is fixed on i386, remove it from its lint. Create a new
section of the config file for things that work everywhere, except i386.

Some architectures will pretty-print a system call trap in the
backtrace. Rather than printing the symbol, use the syscallname()
function to pull the string from the sv_syscallnames array corresponding
to the process. This simplifies the function somewhat.
Mostly, this will result in dropping the "sys" prefix, e.g. "sys_exit"
will now be printed simply as "exit".
Make two minor tweaks to the function signature: use a u_int for the
syscall number since this is a more correct type (see the 'code' member
of struct syscall_args), and make the thread pointer the first argument.
The latter is more natural and conventional.

Add a <sys/_pv_entry.h> intended for use in <machine/pmap.h> to
define struct pv_entry, pv_chunk, and related macros and inline
functions.
Note that powerpc does not yet use this as while the mmu_radix pmap
in powerpc uses the new scheme (albeit with fewer PV entries in a
chunk than normal due to an used pv_pmap field in struct pv_entry),
the Book-E pmaps for powerpc use the older style PV entries without
chunks (and thus require the pv_pmap field).

We don't need the 56 bytes at the end of bootinfo, and never had. Don't
copy them from old boot loaders, and don't provide them with new boot
loaders.
Add comments about what versions of FreeBSD 'old' means in various
contexts. Add note that old disk loader (from 1.x/2.x) is doomed to
failure because it doesn't provide metadata that we now require to boot,
and has been since approximately FreeBSD 7.x. Retain all this
information to explain why we have 4 arguments that are always 0, even
though it's ancient history.
This saves 56 bytes in the boot loader.

Mark the obsolete fields in bootinfo with _was_. Note that the fields
from bi_memdesc_version to the end of the structure never were used in a
release. They were added in April 2010 for i386 EFI booting. The boot
loader set these fields though 2019, but no kernel ever looked at them
and we never supported i386 EFI booting, and likely never will in this
form. They can likely be deleted entirely in the future, but locore.S
needs to change to do that (it also needs to change to drop support for
really old booting scenarios as well, which will eliminate bi_endcommon
too).
All the other fields haven't been used since the 4.x -> 5.x cutover of
the wdc driver to ata.
The bi_bios_dev field is used in the handoff between bootXX and the
loader. The loader uses it to determine what disk it was loaded off of
to detmerine the default root filesystem. It's not used by the i386
kernel anymore to determine anything.
