John Baldwin e0f66ef861 Reorganize the interrupt handling code a bit to make a few things cleaner
and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces.  struct intr_event holds the list
  of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
  struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
  Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
  with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
  is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event.  This
  means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
  no handlers.  It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
  handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
  intr_foo naming convention.  This did require renaming the powerpc
  MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
  powerpc.  This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
  same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
  to the same interrupt.  Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
  desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
  either.  Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
  exclusively.  The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
  comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
  threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
  This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
  filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
  threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
  is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
  dumping their state.  It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
  info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
  handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
  braindead behavior.  The code is present, though, it is just under
  #if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
  event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
  readable.  Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
  and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
  with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.
- In statclock, check curthread against idlethread directly rather than
  curthread's proc against idlethread's proc. (Not really related to intr
  changes)

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
``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.
