misconfiguration VM-exit.
An EPT misconfiguration is triggered when the processor encounters a PTE
that is writable but not readable (WR=10). On processors that require A/D
bit emulation PG_M and PG_A map to EPT_PG_WRITE and EPT_PG_READ respectively.
If the PTE is updated as in the following code snippet:
*pte |= PG_M;
*pte |= PG_A;
then it is possible for another processor to observe the PTE after the PG_M
(aka EPT_PG_WRITE) bit is set but before PG_A (aka EPT_PG_READ) bit is set.
This will trigger an EPT misconfiguration VM-exit on the other processor.

timecounter resolution is available, so ask for a 1 GHz frequency. It
won't actually get one that fast, but that'll get the fastest available
clock and use a divisor of 1 (probably 132 or 66mhz on current hardware).
Add support for AMD's nested page tables in pmap.c:
- Provide the correct bit mask for various bit fields in a PTE (e.g. valid bit)
for a pmap of type PT_RVI.
- Add a function 'pmap_type_guest(pmap)' that returns TRUE if the pmap is of
type PT_EPT or PT_RVI.
Add CPU_SET_ATOMIC_ACQ(num, cpuset):
This is used when activating a vcpu in the nested pmap. Using the 'acquire'
variant guarantees that the load of the 'pm_eptgen' will happen only after
the vcpu is activated in 'pm_active'.
Add defines for various AMD-specific MSRs.

This involves:
1. Have the loader pass the start and size of the .ctors section to the
kernel in 2 new metadata elements.
2. Have the linker backends look for and record the start and size of
the .ctors section in dynamically loaded modules.
3. Have the linker backends call the constructors as part of the final
work of initializing preloaded or dynamically loaded modules.
Note that LLVM appends the priority of the constructors to the name of
the .ctors section. Not so when compiling with GCC. The code currently
works for GCC and not for LLVM.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

bus_new_pass() handler so it doesn't happen until BUS_PASS_CPU. This allows
the anatop driver to outbid the generic simplebus driver (which the FDT
data describes as compatible).
Some day when we handle power regulators, this driver may actually
become a functional simplebus and attach the regulators as children, as
described in the FDT data.
Increasingly, FDT data has the "simple-bus" compatible string on nodes
that have children, but we wouldn't consider them to be busses. If the
node lacks a ranges property then we will fail to attach successfully,
so fail to probe as well.

To try and play nice with the ABI, the u_char CPU ID values are clamped
at 254. The new fields now contain the full CPU ID, or -1 for no cpu.

The TI watchdog timer is present on BeagleBone's. Since 2014, U-Boot
has been booting the BeagleBone with the watchdog enabled. We need to
disable it on boot to avoid a spurious reset.
The timer isn't exactly precise, but it will do as a watchdog. This
is also a reflection of the watchdog(9) API.
In the future, we could handle interrupts, but the watchdog(9) API
needs to be a bit smarter before that can happen.
