VIPT/PIPT caches need valid VA-PA mapping in PTE for a cache operation to
succeed (unlike VIVT). Prior to this fix pmap was using l2pte_valid() for that
check, but this is not sufficient as the function merely checks if a PTE
exists (there can be existing but _invalid_ entries in the table).
A new pmap_has_valid_mapping() routine is introduced to do this job right by
checking proper PTE flags.
Among other potential problems this cures coherency issues with L2 caches on
MV-78100.

This replaces d_mmap() with the d_mmap2() implementation and also

Purge d_mmap2().

Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

- Remove most of direct relations between ATA(4) peripherial and controller

ATA(4) controller level into ATA-native CAM SIM.
- Tune AHCI and SATA2 SiI drivers memory allocation a bit to allow bigger

while in kernel mode, and later changing signal mask to block the

exists for sigreturn(2), setcontext(2) and swapcontext(2) syscalls.
Use kern_sigprocmask() instead of direct manipulation of td_sigmask to
reschedule newly blocked signals, closing the race.

vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).
The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.

Remove the altkstacks, instead instantiate threads with kernel stack
allocated with the right size from the start. For the thread that has
kernel stack cached, verify that requested stack size is equial to the
actual, and reallocate the stack if sizes differ [1].
This fixes the bug introduced by r173361 that was committed several days
after r173004 and consisted of kthread_add(9) ignoring the non-default
kernel stack size.
Also, r173361 removed the caching of the kernel stacks for a non-first
thread in the process. Introduce separate kernel stack cache that keeps
some limited amount of preallocated kernel stacks to lower the latency
of thread allocation. Add vm_lowmem handler to prune the cache on
low memory condition. This way, system with reasonable amount of the
threads get lower latency of thread creation, while still not exhausting
significant portion of KVA for unused kstacks.
