Remove a pointless __inline.
the only one difference is that lockmgr*() functions now accept

lookup hard interrupt events by number. Ignore the irq# for soft intrs.
- Add support to cpuset for binding hardware interrupts. This has the
side effect of binding any ithread associated with the hard interrupt.
As per restrictions imposed by MD code we can only bind interrupts to
a single cpu presently. Interrupts can be 'unbound' by binding them
to all cpus.

o create a private task queue thread that sets up root and current
directories (hooking mountroot event as needed); this is necessary
because task queue threads are parented from proc0 and it does not
have a reference to rootvnode (lost when / mounting moved to init)
o bounce image load + unload requests through the private task q so
we can load images even when the request is made from a thread that
does not have sufficient context (e.g. task q thread)
o add a check in the task q thread to fail requests before root is
mounted (just in case)

state transitioning flags and of msleep(9) callings.
Use, instead, an algorithm very similar to what sx(9) and rwlock(9)
alredy do and direct accesses to the sleepqueue(9) primitive.
In order to avoid writer starvation a mechanism very similar to what
rwlock(9) uses now is implemented, with the correspective per-thread
shared lockmgrs counter.
This patch also adds 2 new functions to lockmgr KPI: lockmgr_rw() and
lockmgr_args_rw(). These two are like the 2 "normal" versions, but they
both accept a rwlock as interlock. In order to realize this, the general
lockmgr manager function "__lockmgr_args()" has been implemented through
the generic lock layer. It supports all the blocking primitives, but
currently only these 2 mappers live.
The patch drops the support for WITNESS atm, but it will be probabilly
added soon. Also, there is a little race in the draining code which is
also present in the current CVS stock implementation: if some sharers,
once they wakeup, are in the runqueue they can contend the lock with
the exclusive drainer. This is hard to be fixed but the now committed
code mitigate this issue a lot better than the (past) CVS version.
In addition assertive KA_HELD and KA_UNHELD have been made mute
assertions because they are dangerous and they will be nomore supported
soon.
In order to avoid namespace pollution, stack.h is splitted into two
parts: one which includes only the "struct stack" definition (_stack.h)
and one defining the KPI. In this way, newly added _lockmgr.h can
just include _stack.h.
Kernel ABI results heavilly changed by this commit (the now committed
version of "struct lock" is a lot smaller than the previous one) and
KPI results broken by lockmgr_rw() / lockmgr_args_rw() introduction,
so manpages and __FreeBSD_version will be updated accordingly.

allows all the INTR_FILTER #ifdef's to be removed from the MD interrupt
code.
- Rename the intr_event 'eoi', 'disable', and 'enable' hooks to
'post_filter', 'pre_ithread', and 'post_ithread' to be less x86-centric.
Also, add a comment describe what the MI code expects them to do.
- On amd64, i386, and powerpc this is effectively a NOP.
- On arm, don't bother masking the interrupt unless the ithread is
scheduled in the non-INTR_FILTER case to match what INTR_FILTER did.
Also, don't bother unmasking the interrupt in the post_filter case if
we never masked it. The INTR_FILTER case had been doing this by having
arm_unmask_irq for the post_filter (formerly 'eoi') hook.
- On ia64, stray interrupts are now masked for the non-INTR_FILTER case.
They were already masked in the INTR_FILTER case.
- On sparc64, use the a NULL pre_ithread hook and use intr_enable_eoi() for
both the 'post_filter' and 'post_ithread' hooks to match what the
non-INTR_FILTER code did.
- On sun4v, retire the ithread wrapper hack by using an appropriate
'post_ithread' hook instead (it's what 'post_ithread'/'enable' was
designed to do even in 5.x).

UMA_SLAB_KERNEL for consistency with its sibling UMA_SLAB_KMEM.
(UMA_SLAB_KMAP met its original demise in revision 1.30 of
vm/uma_core.c.) UMA_SLAB_KERNEL is now required by the jumbo frame
allocators. Without it, UMA cannot correctly return pages from the
jumbo frame zones to the VM system because it resets the pages' object
field to NULL instead of the kernel object. In more detail, the jumbo
frame zones are created with the option UMA_ZONE_REFCNT. This causes
UMA to overwrite the pages' object field with the address of the slab.
However, when UMA wants to release these pages, it doesn't know how to
restore the object field, so it sets it to NULL. This change teaches
UMA how to reset the object field to the kernel object.

spinning when readers hold a lock. This spinning is speculative because,
unlike the write case, we can not test whether the owners are running.
- Add speculative read spinning for readers who are blocked by pending
writers while a read lock is still held. This allows the thread to
spin until the write lock succeeds after which it may spin until the
writer has released the lock. This prevents excessive context switches
when readers and writers both hold the lock for brief periods.

fixed pri boost with '1' or any priority less than the current thread's
priority with a value greater than two. Default the boost to
PRI_MIN_TIMESHARE to prevent regular user-space threads from starving
threads in the kernel. This prevents these user-threads from also
being scheduled as if they are high fixed-priority kernel threads.
- Restore the setting of lowpri in tdq_choose(). It has to be either here
or in sched_switch(). I accidentally removed it from both places.

do this either. Simply check P_NOLOAD. It'd be nice if this was

- Move callout thread creation from kern_intr.c to kern_timeout.c
- Call callout_tick() on every processor via hardclock_cpu() rather than
inspecting callout internal details in kern_clock.c.
- Remove callout implementation details from callout.h
- Package up all of the global variables into a per-cpu callout structure.
- Start one thread per-cpu. Threads are not strictly bound. They prefer
to execute on the native cpu but may migrate temporarily if interrupts
are starving callout processing.
- Run all callouts by default in the thread for cpu0 to maintain current
ordering and concurrency guarantees. Many consumers may not properly
handle concurrent execution.
- The new callout_reset_on() api allows specifying a particular cpu to
execute the callout on. This may migrate a callout to a new cpu.
callout_reset() schedules on the last assigned cpu while
callout_reset_curcpu() schedules on the current cpu.

to check validity need to hold a lock while performing any action
based on that validity. vn_lock() would always release the interlock

dropped after the call to lockmgr() so just revert this approach using
something similar to the precedent one:
BUF_LOCKWAITERS() just checks if there are waiters (not the actual number
of them) and it is based on newly introduced lockmgr_waiters() which
returns if the lockmgr has waiters or not. The name has been choosen
differently by old lockwaiters() in order to not confuse them.
