On my tests this reduces idle interruts rate down to about 30Hz, and accor-
ding to Xen VM Manager reduces host CPU load by three times comparing to
the previous periodic 100Hz clock. Also now, when needed, it is possible to
increase HZ rate without useless CPU burning during idle periods.
Now only ia64 and some ARMs left not migrated to the new event timers.

file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

wrapper around rman_adjust_resource(). Include a generic implementation,
bus_generic_adjust_resource() which passes the request up to the parent
bus. There is currently no default implementation. A
bus_adjust_resource() wrapper is provided for use in drivers.
Specifically, these changes allow a resource to back a relocatable and
resizable resource such as the I/O window decoders in PCI-PCI bridges.
- rman_adjust_resource() can adjust the start and end address of an
existing resource. It only succeeds if the newly requested address
space is already free. It also supports shrinking a resource in
which case the freed space will be marked unallocated in the rman.
- rman_first_free_region() and rman_last_free_region() return the
start and end addresses for the first or last unallocated region in
an rman, respectively. This can be used to determine by how much
the resource backing an rman must be adjusted to accomodate an
allocation request that does not fit into the existing rman.
While here, document the rm_start and rm_end fields in struct rman,

rman_reserve_resource_bound(), and rman_init_from_resource().

- Fix various places that set rm_end incorrectly (to ~0 or ~0u instead of
~0ul).
- To preserve existing behavior, change rman_init() to set rm_start and
rm_end to allow managing the full range (0 to ~0ul) if they are not set by
the caller when rman_init() is called.

With the option SW_WATCHDOG on, these operations are doomed to let
watchdog fire, fi they take too long.
I implemented the stubs this way because I really want wdog_kern_*
KPI to not be dependant by SW_WATCHDOG being on (and really, the option
only enables watchdog activation in hardclock) and also avoid to
call them when not necessary (avoiding not-volountary watchdog
activations).

vfs_sanitizeopts() can handle "ro" and "rw" options properly, there is
no more need to add "noro" in vfs_donmount() to cancel "ro".
This also fixes a problem of canceling options beginning with "no".
For example, "noatime" didn't cancel "nonoatime". Thus it was possible
that both "noatime" and "nonoatime" were active at the same time.

vop_stdallocate() is filesystem agnostic and will run as slow as a
read/write loop in userspace; however, it serves to correctly
implement the functionality for filesystems that do not implement a
VOP_ALLOCATE.
Note that __FreeBSD_version was already bumped today to 900036 for any
ports which would like to use this function.

The only difference with the previous fix is in Solution2:
CPUBLOCK is no longer set when exiting from callout_reset_*() functions,
which avoid the deadlock (leading to r217161).
There is no need to CPUBLOCK there because the running-and-migrating
assumption is strong enough to avoid problems there.
Furthermore add a better !SMP compliancy (leading to shrinked code and
structures) and facility macros/functions.

One sample of this is:

- running a cpu intensive task (that does not enter the kernel)
