78a1485fd1 Fixes for alpha pmap on SMP machines:
- Create a private list of active pmaps rather than abusing the list of all
  processes when we need to look up pmaps.  The process list needs a sx lock
  and we can't be getting sx locks in the middle of cpu_switch()
  (pmap_activate() can call pmap_get_asn() from cpu_switch()).  Instead, we
  protect the list with a spinlock.  This also means the list is shorter
  since a pmap can be used by more than one process and we could (at least
  in thoery) dink with pmap's more than once, but now we only touch each
  pmap once when we have to update all of them.
- Wrap pmap_activate()'s code to get a new ASN in an explicit critical section
  so that when it is called while doing an exec() we can't get preempted.
- Replace splhigh() in pmap_growkernel() with a critical section to prevent
  preemption while we are adjusting the kernel page tables.
- Fixes abuse of PCPU_GET(), which doesn't return an L-value.
- Also adds some slight cleanups to the ASN handling by adding some macros
  instead of magic numbers in relation to the ASN and ASN generations.

Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

d4127edb9d Simplify the implementation of pmap_emulate_reference(). The new version
simply manipulates the pte which faulted instead of traversing the mapping
list for that page. This makes it possible to complete the trap without
needing locks and incidentally improves the accuracy of some statistics
used by the VM system.

92b123a002 Move MAXCPU from machine/smp.h to machine/param.h to fix breakage
with !SMP kernels.  Also, replace NCPUS with MAXCPU since they are
redundant.

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).

e39756439c Back out the previous change to the queue(3) interface.
It was not discussed and should probably not happen.

0385347c1a Implement an optimization of the VM<->pmap API. Pass vm_page_t's directly
to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address
and passing that.  In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing
was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or
it's shadow pv_table entry.

Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches.

Also:
Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine
dependent part of vm_page_t.  This eliminates having a seperate set of
structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to
a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above)
This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the
system.  (8 bytes on the Alpha).

Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is
managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc).  Store this information in a flag.
Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the
fly that do not have pv_entries.  This makes it easier to "unmanage" a
page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent
commits).

Add a function to add a new page to the freelist.  This could be used
for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded
loader(8) files.

664a31e496 Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.

50b8d1cce4 Allow chipset drivers to specify the direct-mapped DMA window's mask in
preparation for tsunami support.  Previous chipsets' direct-mapped DMA
mask was always 1024*1024*1024.  The Tsunami chipset needs it to be
2*1024*1024*1024

These changes should not affect the i386 port

897cd717a5 Add initial support for the FreeBSD/alpha kernel. This is very much a
work in progress and has never booted a real machine.  Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details).  On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
