- Go ahead and use 'lgdt' again instead of hand-assembling the instruction.
During testing this code worked fine. If for some reason a 32-bit offset
is needed, 'lgdtl' should be used instead of reverting to manual machine
code.

This (I believe) is the cause of the XFree86 startup and/or mptable(8)
panics when programs were reading from /dev/mem at non-page-aligned
offsets. The offsets were being converted into random page flags in the
page tables. :-( (including PG_PS = 4MB page size)
to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address
and passing that. In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing
was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or
it's shadow pv_table entry.
Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches.
Also:
Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine
dependent part of vm_page_t. This eliminates having a seperate set of
structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to
a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above)
This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the
system. (8 bytes on the Alpha).
Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is
managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc). Store this information in a flag.
Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the
fly that do not have pv_entries. This makes it easier to "unmanage" a
page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent
commits).
Add a function to add a new page to the freelist. This could be used
for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded
loader(8) files.

reporting an AT PIC. We do this because otherwise the PIC will claim
IRQ 2 in an unshareable mode, preventing other devices from legitimately
using it.
For symmetry, in !APIC_IO mode, ignore the APIC if it's reported.
This is a hack; a better solution would have the PIC's driver release
the IRQ if it was not going to be active.

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

NETGRAPH is not present in GENERIC at the moment. Also, change some
settings to support USB installs:
- Add KBD_INSTALL_CDEV as an option to make /dev/kbd[01] actually work.
- Turn on keyboard probing in sc0. The syscons driver will now use a
flag documented in ukbd(4) but not in sc(4) that tells syscons to
actively search for a keyboard device if none is found. This allows
USB keyboards to just be plugged in and instantly start working.
- Require the atkbd0 driver to actually probe to see if a keyboard is
there. This allows USB keyboards to be seen by sc0 if an AT keyboard
isn't plugged into the computer. This also means that you will no
longer be able to plug an AT keyboard into a machine after it has
booted a GENERIC kernel and use it. AT keyboards aren't designed for
this anyway. USB keyboards are designed for this, and they work.

The actual nature of the problem probably needs further investigation,
but this patch allows us to actually function on these systems.

It uses Netgraph.
This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.
Remove evil allocation macros from machdep.c (why was that there???) and
use malloc() instead.
Move paramters out of param.h and into the code itself.
Move a bunch of internal definitions from public sys/*.h headers (without
#ifdef _KERNEL even) into the code itself.
I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing
wakeups on all sleeping processes on old arrays was too frightening.
The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.
