287e61c39f Presently there is only one `currentldt' variable for all cpus
in a SMP system. Unexpected things could happen if each cpu
        has a different ldt setting and one cpu tries to use value
        of currentldt set by another cpu.

        The fix is to move currentldt to the per-cpu area. It includes
        patches I filed in PR i386/6219 which are also user ldt related.

e796e00de3 Some cleanups related to timecounters and weird ifdefs in <sys/time.h>.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()

This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

WARNING:  Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.

5d183e9691 Change simple lock handling to not depend upon having a local apic
available.  The per-cpu variable ss_tpr has been replaced by ss_eflags.
This reduced the number of interrupts sent to the wrong CPU, due to
the cpu having the global lock being inside a critical region.

Remove some unneeded manipulation of tpr register in mplock.s.

Adjust code in mplock.s to be aware of variables on the stack being
destroyed by MPgetlock if GRAB_LOPRIO is defined.

5931a9c24e For SMP, use prv_PPAGE1/prv_PMAP1 instead of PADDR1/PMAP1.
get_ptbase and pmap_pte_quick no longer generates IPIs.
This should reduce the number of IPIs during heavy paging.

514bc6cb56 Fix VM86 compiles. a #include "opt_vm86.h" was missing, and the my_tr
variable was needed in the non-SMP case.
