Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

Summary:
There is often a need at the debugger to print arbitrary special
purpose registers (SPRs) on PowerPC. Using a rewritable asm stub, print any SPR
provided on the command line.
Note, as there is no checking in this, attempting to print a nonexistent SPR
may cause a Program exception (illegal instruction, or boundedly undefined).
Note also that this relies on the kernel text pages being writable. If in the
future this is made not the case, this will need to be reworked.
Test Plan:
Printing the Processor Version Register (PVR, SPR 287):

before overwriting firmware page tables.

Most of the effect of setting MSR[SF] is that the CPU will stop ignoring
the high 32 bits of registers containing addresses in load/store
instructions. As such, the kernel was setting it only when it began to
need access to high memory. MSR[SF] also affects the operation of some
conditional instructions, however, and so setting it at late times could
subtly break code at very early times. This fixes use of the FDT mode in
loader, and FDT boot more generally, on 64-bit PowerPC systems.

rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.
This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.
For rs6000, most memory insns and addi/addis do not allow GPR0 for RA
(they use literal zero there instead). So use a 'b' constraint to make
sure to have a base register other than GPR0.
GCC-4.7 and up handles this with allocating r9 instead of r0.
OF_getprop() to get encode-int encoded values from the OF tree. This is
a no-op at present, since all existing PowerPC ports are big-endian, but
it is a correctness improvement and will be required if we have a
little-endian kernel at some future point.
Where it is totally impossible for the code ever to be used on a
little-endian system (much of powerpc/powermac, for instance), I have not
necessarily made the appropriate changes.

initial thread stack is not adjusted by the tunable, the stack is
allocated too early to get access to the kernel environment. See
TD0_KSTACK_PAGES for the thread0 stack sizing on i386.
The tunable was tested on x86 only. From the visual inspection, it
seems that it might work on arm and powerpc. The arm
USPACE_SVC_STACK_TOP and powerpc USPACE macros seems to be already
incorrect for the threads with non-default kstack size. I only
changed the macros to use variable instead of constant, since I cannot
test.
On arm64, mips and sparc64, some static data structures are sized by
KSTACK_PAGES, so the tunable is disabled.

vm_offset_t pmap_quick_enter_page(vm_page_t m)
void pmap_quick_remove_page(vm_offset_t kva)
These will create and destroy a temporary, CPU-local KVA mapping of a specified page.
Guarantees:
--Will not sleep and will not fail.
--Safe to call under a non-sleepable lock or from an ithread
Restrictions:
--Not guaranteed to be safe to call from an interrupt filter or under a spin mutex on all platforms
--Current implementation does not guarantee more than one page of mapping space across all platforms. MI code should not make nested calls to pmap_quick_enter_page.
--MI code should not perform locking while holding onto a mapping created by pmap_quick_enter_page
The idea is to use this in busdma, for bounce buffer copies as well as virtually-indexed cache maintenance on mips and arm.
NOTE: the non-i386, non-amd64 implementations of these functions still need review and testing.

It appears that the linker will not handle 64-bit relocations at addresses that
are not aligned to 8-byte boundaries. Prior to this change the line:
.llong generictrap
was aligned to a 4-byte address, and the linker replaced that with an 8-byte
0x0. Aligning that address to 8 bytes caused the linker to generate the proper
relocation. As a follow-through, the dblow from trap_subr33.S used the code
sequence 'lwz %r1, TRAP_GENTRAP(0)', so this reproduces the analogue of that for
64-bit.

Both booke and AIM interrupt.c files contain nearly identical code. This merges

On Book-E, physical addresses are actually 36-bits, not 32-bits. This is
currently worked around by ignoring the top bits. However, in some cases, the
boot loader configures CCSR to something above the 32-bit mark. This is stage 1
in updating the pmap to handle 36-bit physaddr.
Much of the code was common to begin with. There is one nit, which is likely
not an issue at all. With the old code, the AIM machdep would __syncicache()
the entire kernel core at setup. However, in the unified setup, that seems to
hang on the MPC7455, perhaps because it's running later than before. Removing
this allows it to boot just fine. Examining the code, the FreeBSD loader
already does syncicache of the full kernel, and each module loaded, so this
doesn't appear to be an actual problem.
Initial code by Nathan Whitehorn.
Summary:
Book-E and AIM trap.c are almost identical, except for a few bits. This is step
1 in unifying them.
This also renumbers EXC_DEBUG, to not conflict with AIM vector numbers. Since
this is the only one thus far that is used in the switch statement in trap(),
it's the only one renumbered. If others get added to the switch, which conflict
with AIM numbers, they should also be renumbered.

A couple of internal functions used by malloc(9) and uma truncated

this change is to improve concurrency:
- Drop global state stored in the shadow overflow page table (and all other
global state)
- Remove all global locks
- Use per-PTE lock bits to allow parallel page insertion
- Reconstruct state when requested for evicted PTEs instead of buffering
it during overflow
This drops total wall time for make buildworld on a 32-thread POWER8 system
by a factor of two and system time by a factor of three, providing performance
20% better than similarly clocked Core i7 Xeons per-core. Performance on
smaller SMP systems, where PMAP lock contention was not as much of an issue,
is nearly unchanged.

point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.
As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
