The intended use is to annotate frequently used globals which either rarely
change (and thus can be grouped in the same cacheline) or are an atomic counter
(which means it may benefit from being the only variable in the cacheline).
Linker script support is provided only for amd64. Architectures without it risk
having other variables put in, i.e. as if they were not annotated. This is
harmless from correctness point of view.

My plan is to change this function's prototype at some point in the
future to add a new label argument, which can be used to export all of
sysctl as metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus. Switch over this
caller to use the macro wrapper counterpart.
conflict with the opensolaris kernel module.
This patch solves a problem where the kernel linker will incorrectly
resolve opensolaris kmem_xxx() functions as linuxkpi ones, which leads
to a panic when these functions are used.

FreeBSD supports lazy allocation of PCI BAR, that is, when a device
driver's attach method is invoked, even if the device's PCI BAR
address wasn't initialized, the invocation of bus_alloc_resource_any()
(the call chain: pci_alloc_resource() -> pci_alloc_multi_resource() ->
pci_reserve_map() -> pci_write_bar()) would allocate a proper address
for the PCI BAR and write this 'lazy allocated' address into the PCI
BAR.
This model works fine for native FreeBSD device drivers, but _not_ for
device drivers shared with Linux (e.g. dev/mlx5/mlx5_core/mlx5_main.c
and ofed/drivers/net/mlx4/main.c. Both of them use
pci_request_regions(), which doesn't work properly with the PCI BAR
lazy allocation, because pci_resource_type() -> _pci_get_rle() always
returns NULL, so pci_request_regions() doesn't have the opportunity to
invoke bus_alloc_resource_any(). We now use pci_find_bar() in
pci_resource_type(), which is able to locate all available PCI BARs
even if some of them will be lazy allocated.

Linux module parameters have a permissions value. If any write bits
are set we are allowed to modify the module parameter runtime. Reflect
this when creating the static SYSCTL nodes.

Bool module parameters are no longer supported, because there is no
equivalent in FreeBSD.
There are two macros available which control the behaviour of the
LinuxKPI module parameters:
- LINUXKPI_PARAM_PARENT allows the consumer to set the SYSCTL parent
where the modules parameters will be created.
- LINUXKPI_PARAM_PREFIX defines a parameter name prefix, which is
added to all created module parameters.
