that we can flush the register stack prior to entering the kernel.
This avoids having dirty registers and saves us from having to
manually write them to the backing store from within the kernel.
In that respect, flushing the RSE is both functionally required as
well as performance optimal.
On average we had 18 dirty registers when getcontext(2) was called
from libthr. Since libthr does not switch back to a context created
by getcontext(2), not having dealt with the dirty registers was
harmless.
on the corresponding .proc directive, or the .endp must not have a

While here, remove an artificial dependency in Ovfork.S by performing
manual register renaming.

The new soekris boards' GEODE cpu has issues with the old way. This

interrupts to try. This is a band-aide and we really should try to
balance the IRQs that we arbitrarily pick, but it should help some
people that would otherwise get bad IRQs.
recompiling the driver. See the comments near the top of "if_em.h"
for descriptions of these delays. Four new loader tunables control
the system-wide default values:
hw.em.tx_int_delay
hw.em.rx_int_delay
hw.em.tx_abs_int_delay
hw.em.rx_abs_int_delay
The tunables are specified in microseconds. The valid range is
0-67108 usec., and 0 means that the timer is disabled.
There are also four new sysctls (actually, a set of four for each
"em" device in the system) to query and change the interrupt delays
after the system is up:
hw.em0.tx_int_delay
hw.em0.rx_int_delay
hw.em0.tx_abs_int_delay (not present for 82542/3/4 adapters)
hw.em0.rx_abs_int_delay (not present for 82542/3/4 adapters)
It seems to be OK to change these values even while the adapter is
passing traffic.

breaking POLA until all the range inconsistencies in jot can be fixed
in one pass. See PR for details.

- Add an attachment method to ppc for puc
- In puc we need to walk the chain of parents.
Still to do, is to make ppc(4) & puc(4) work on other platforms. Testers

This removes the need to #include <vm/swap_pager.h> which is due to

mac_mls_subject_equal_ok() to mac_mls_subject_privileged(),
which more consistently reflects the fact that this is really
about our notion of privilege in the MLS policy.
Since we don't use suser() for privilege in MLS, remove
the suser check from the ifnet relabel ioctl, and replace it
with an MLS privilege check.
