particularly annoying hack, namely having the linker bash the moduledata
to set the container pointer, preventing it being const. In the process,
a stack of warnings were fixed and will probably allow a revisit of the
const C_SYSINIT() changes. This explicitly registers modules in files or
preload areas with the module system first, and let them initialize via
SYSINIT/DECLARE_MODULE later in their SI_ORDER_xxx order. The kludge of
finding the containing file is no longer needed since the registration
of modules onto the modules list is done in the context of initializing
the linker file.
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.
More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.

This makes it possible to change the sysctl tree at runtime.

file and to unregister them when the file is unloaded.

was freed. Instead, decrement first and back it out if the unload failed.
This should be relatively immune to races caused by the user since the
userref count will be zero for the duration of the actual unloading and
will stop further kldunload attempts.

suggestions from Greg Lehey some time ago. In the face of multiple
potential file formats, try and give a more sensible error than just
ENOEXEC.
XXX a good case can be made that the loading process is wrong - the linker
should locate the file first (using the search paths etc), then run the
loaders to see if they recognize it. While the present system allows for
the possibility of different search paths for different formats, we do not
use it and it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.
Implement preloading in a fairly MI way, assuming the information is
prepared.
