This reduces the rate of panics when running 'make index' from ~0.6/hour
to ~0.02/hour (p < 10^-30).
At a later date this locking will be removed, and for this reason, it is
wrapped in #ifdef HAMFISTED_LOCKING; this temporary hack is being put in
place with the intention of shipping somewhat-stable Xen bits in FreeBSD
8.2-RELEASE.

Oddly, while this doesn't seem to affect the overall rate of panics
(running 'make index' on EC2 t1.micro instances, there are 0.6 +/- 0.1
panics per hour, both before and after this change), it eliminates
vm_fault from panic backtraces, leaving only backtraces going through
vmspace_fork.
When cleaning up a thread, reset its LDT to the default LDT.
Note: Casting the LDT pointer to an int and storing it in pc_currentldt is

Use xen_update_descriptor to update the LDT rather than bcopy. Under Xen,
pages used for holding LDTs must be read-only, so we can't make the change
ourselves.
Ths obvious alternative of "remap the page read-write, make the change, then
map it read-only again" doesn't work since Xen won't allow an LDT page to be
remapped as R/W. An arguably better solution is used by NetBSD: They don't
modify LDTs in-place at all, but instead copy the entire LDT, modify the new
version, then atomically swap.

Synchronize reality with comment: The user_ldt_alloc function is supposed to
return with dt_lock held. Due to broken locking in i386/xen/pmap.c, we drop
dt_lock during the call to pmap_map_readonly and then pick it up again; this
can be removed once the Xen pmap locking is fixed.

Lock the vm page queue mutex around calls to pte_store. As with many other
uses of the vm page queue mutex in i386/xen/pmap.c, this is bogus and needs
to be replaced at some future date by a spin lock dedicated to protecting
the queue of pending xen page mapping hypervisor calls. (But for now, bogus
locking is better than a panic.)

to PMAP_SET_VA; this fixes a mutex-not-held panic when a process
which called mlock(2) exits, and parallels a change made in
pmap_pte 10 months ago (svn r204160).
Note: The locking in this code is utterly broken. We should not
be using the VM page queue mutex to protect the queue of pending
Xen page mapping hypervisor calls. Even if it made sense to do
so, this commit and r204160 introduce LORs between the vm page
queue mutex and PMAP2mutex.
(However, a possible deadlock is better than a guaranteed panic,
and this change will hopefully make life easier for whoever fixes
the Xen pmap locking in the future.)

timecounter period from 2^32 ns (~4.3s) to 2^41 ns (~36m39s). Some time
sharing systems can skip clock interrupts for a few seconds when under
load (e.g., if we've recently used more than our fair share of CPU and
someone else wants a burst of CPU) and we were losing time in quanta of
2^32 ns due to timecounter wrapping.
Increasing the timecounter period up to 2^41 ns is definitely overkill,
but we still have microsecond timecounter precision, and anyone using
paravirtualized hardware when they need submicrosecond timing is crazy.

pmap_pte_quick() sometimes requires the page queues lock to be held.
This change reimplements pmap_extract_and_hold() such that it no
longer uses pmap_pte_quick(), and thus never requires the page queues
lock.
For consistency, adopt the same idiom as used by the new
implementation of pmap_extract_and_hold() in pmap_extract() and
pmap_mincore(). It also happens to make these functions shorter.

cause problems when the dpcpu structures were overwritten by arbitrary

mutex.
For some reason the XEN code keeps track of the start of available memory
in the variables 'first', 'physfree', and 'init_first'; as far as I can
tell, we always have first == physfree == init_first * PAGE_SIZE. The
earlier commit adjusted 'first' (which, on !XEN, is the only variable
which tracks this value) but not the other two variables.
Exercise for reader: Eliminate two of these three variables.

updates were being queued by pmap_kremove, but the queue wasn't being
flushed; as a result, the updates didn't happen until *after* the call
to pmap_invalidate_range, and old entries could stick around in the TLB.
Adding a PT_UPDATES_FLUSH() call immediately before pmap_invalidate_range
ensures that after the invalidation the TLB will be repopulated with the
correct new entries.
