- Preallocate some memory for ACPI tasks early enough. We cannot use
malloc(9) any more because spin mutex may be held here. The reserved
memory can be tuned via debug.acpi.max_tasks tunable or ACPI_MAX_TASKS

- Implement a custom taskqueue_fast to wrap the new memory allocation.
This implementation is not the fastest in the world but we are being
conservative here.

zone code. The GPE handler method (i.e. _L00) generates various Notify
events that need to be run to completion before the GPE is re-enabled.
In ACPI-CA, we queue an asynch callback at the same priority as a Notify
so that it will only run after all Notify handlers have completed. The
callback re-enables the GPE afterwards. We also changed the priority of
Notifies to be the same as GPEs, given the possibility that another GPE
could arrive before the Notifies have completed and we don't want it to
get queued ahead of the rest.
The ACPI-CA change was submitted by Alexey Starikovskiy (SUSE) and will
appear in a later release. Special thanks to him for helping track this
bug down.

WB (write-back) on x86 via control bits in PTEs and PDEs (including making
use of the PAT MSR). Changes include:
- A new pmap_mapdev_attr() function for amd64 and i386 which takes an
additional parameter (relative to pmap_mapdev()) specifying the cache
mode for this mapping. Note that on amd64 only WB mappings are done with
the direct map, all other modes result in a private mapping.
- pmap_mapdev() on i386 and amd64 now defaults to using UC (uncached)
mappings rather than WB. Previously we relied on the BIOS setting up
MTRR's to enforce memio regions being treated as UC. This might make
hw.cbb_start_memory unnecessary in some cases now for example.
- A new pmap_mapbios()/pmap_unmapbios() API has been added to allow places
that used pmap_mapdev() to map non-device memory (such as ACPI tables)
to do so using WB as before.
- A new pmap_change_attr() function for amd64 and i386 that changes the
caching mode for a range of KVA.

some systems were designed so that AML writes to various resources shared
with OS drivers, including the RTC, PIC, PCI, etc. These writes could
collide with writes by the OS and should never be performed. For now, we
print a message if such an access occurs, but do not block it. To block
the access, the tunable "debug.acpi.block_bad_io" can be set to 1. In the
future, we will flip the switch and this will become the default.
Information about this problem was found in Microsoft KB 283649. They
block IO accesses if the BIOS indicates via _OSI that it is Windows 2001
or higher. They always block accesses to the PIC, cascaded PIC, and ELCRs,
no matter how old the BIOS.

This allows the creation of 1 or more threads that will service a single
taskqueue. Also rework the taskqueue_create() API to remove the API change
that was introduced a while back. Creating a taskqueue doesn't rely on
the presence of a process structure, and the proc mechanics are much better
encapsulated in taskqueue_start_threads(). Also clean up the
taskqueue_terminate() and taskqueue_free() functions to safely drain
pending tasks and remove all associated threads.
The TASKQUEUE_DEFINE and TASKQUEUE_DEFINE_THREAD macros have been changed
to use the new API, but drivers compiled against the old definitions will
still work. Thus, recompiling drivers is not a strict requirement.
