Peter Wemm 6dd3a6c06e Drastically simplify the i386 pcpu backend by merging parts of the
amd64 mechanism over.  Instead of page table hackery that isn't
actually needed, just use 'struct pcpu __pcpu[MAXCPU]' for backing like
all the other platforms do.  Get rid of 'struct privatespace' and a
while mess of #ifdef SMP garbage that set it up.  As a bonus, this
returns the 4MB of KVA that we stole to implement it the old way.
This also allows you to read the pcpu data for each cpu when reading a
minidump.

Background information:  Originally, pcpu stuff was implemented as having
per-cpu page tables and magic to make different data structures appear
at the same actual address.  In order to share page tables, we switched
to using the GDT and %fs/%gs to access it.  But we still did the evil
magic to set it up for the old way.  The "idle stacks" are not used
for the idle process anymore and are just used for a few functions during
bootup, then ignored.  (excercise for reader: free these afterwards).

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
