a test of the irq number, and made failure of this test non-fatal.
Removed related unused complications for the APIC_IO case. Removed the
no-test3 flag.
Deverbosified the failure messages for the other tests. Removed the
per-port verbose flag - just use the general verbose flag.
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.

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the
one remaining call that passwd &time as args.
Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is
the same.
Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

on the IOAPIC being connected to the 8254 timer interrupt.
Verify that timer interrupts are delivered. If they aren't, attempt
a fallback to mixed mode (i.e. routing the timer interrupt via the 8259 PIC).
interrupts are masked, and EOI is sent iff the corresponding ISR bit
is set in the local apic. If the CPU cannot obtain the interrupt
service lock (currently the global kernel lock) the interrupt is
forwarded to the CPU holding that lock.
Clock interrupts now have higher priority than other slow interrupts.
the signal handling latency for cpu-bound processes that performs very
few system calls.
The IPI for forcing an additional software trap is no longer dependent upon
BETTER_CLOCK being defined.
it runs at a constant frequency. This was less of an issue before,
because the TSC only interpolated in the HZ intervals, but now where
the timecounter is used all the way, this becomes much more visible.
Nit: Fix a printf which triggered the bde-filter.
Highlights:
* Simple model for underlying hardware.
* Hardware basis for timekeeping can be changed on the fly.
* Only one hardware clock responsible for TOD keeping.
* Provides a real nanotime() function.
* Time granularity: .232E-18 seconds.
* Frequency granularity: .238E-12 s/s
* Frequency adjustment is continuous in time.
* Less overhead for frequency adjustment.
* Improves xntpd performance.

is "acquired". This fixes a TSC biasing error of about 10 msec when
pcaudio is active.
Update `time' before calling hardclock() when timer0 is being released.
This is not known to be important.
Added some delays in writertc(). Efficiency is not critical here, unlike
in rtcin(), and we already use conservative delays there.
Don't touch the hardware when machdep.i8254_freq is being changed but
the maximum count wouldn't change. This fixes jitter of up to 10 msec
for most small adjustments to machdep.i8254_freq. When the maximum
count needs to change, the hardware should be adjusted more carefully.

This fixes pessimized copying and zeroing on K6's and perhaps on other
CPUs that are misclassified as i586's.

apic_vector.s also contains a small change I (smp) made to eliminate

Spinoffs:
- spl0() gets called in the unlikely event that isa is not configured.
- configure() has better control over enabling interrupts.
- it is now less unclear that interrupts aren't actually enabled early.
Rev.1.48 of autoconf.c seems to have done the opposite of what was
intended - moving the isa_configure() call delayed the spl0() side
effect.
Added some comments about the bogons. Removed the splhigh() call since
it is a no-op.

Fixed style bugs in the moved code. Fixed everything that depended on
the nested include. Don't include <machine/cpu.h> (in the changed files)

It seems I didn't count my 0's properly when adding the new masks into
icu_vector.s pushing SWI_AST_MASK off the end of the array and screwing
up the indexing for SWI_CLOCK_MASK.
Fix the bug icu_vector.s and also reformat the code in both icu_vector.s and
apic_vector.s so that it will be much harder to make the same mistake in
the future.

Since it is ISA only, reading the EISA status port yields 0xff, which would
give a spurious EISA panic. The simplest thing to do is to ignore the 0xff.
