* Optimise the return path for syscalls so that they only restore a minimal
set of registers instead of performing a full exception_return.
A new flag in the trapframe indicates that the frame only holds partial
state. When it is necessary to perform a full state restore (e.g. after an
execve or signal), the flag is cleared to force a full restore.
- If possible, context switch to the thread directly in sched_ithd(),
rather than triggering a delayed ast reschedule.
- Disable interrupts while restoring fpu state in the trap handler,
in order to ensure that we are not preempted in the middle, which
could cause migration to another cpu.

- Don't reset 'p' to 'curproc' in syscall() to handle the case of a child

- Catch up to cpuno -> cpuid.
- Convert some sanity checks that were #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC to KASSERT()'s.
- Rename the per-CPU variable 'cpuno' to 'cpuid'. This was done so that
there is one consistent name across all architectures for a logical

- Remove all traces of IRQ forwarding.
- Add globaldata_register() hook called by globaldata_init() to register
globaldata structures in the cpuid_to_globaldata array.

to handle ithreads and idleproc properly.
- Rename addugd_intr_forwarded() to addupc_intr_forwarded() so that it is
the same name on all architectures.
- Set flags in p_sflag instead of calling psignal() from
forward_hardclock().

- Move globaldata_init() into here from mp_machdep.c so that UP kernels

initialization until after malloc() is safe to call, then iterate through
all mutexes and complete their initialization.
This change is necessary in order to avoid some circular bootstrapping
dependencies.
All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include
the MTX_RECURSE bit in the flag argument variable. This change is in
preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared
in the architecture-specific code, all of the network card driver locks
in pci/, as well as some other locks in dev/ stuff that I've found to
be recursive.

exactly the same functionality via a sysctl, making this feature
a run-time option.
The default is 1(ON), which means that /dev/random device will
NOT block at startup.
setting kern.random.sys.seeded to 0(OFF) will cause /dev/random
to block until the next reseed, at which stage the sysctl
will be changed back to 1(ON).
While I'm here, clean up the sysctls, and make them dynamic.
