- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose
interrupts).

- Reorder the events in exit(2) slightly so that we trigger the S_EXIT
stop event earlier. After we have signalled that, we set P_WEXIT and
then wait for any processes with a hold on the vmspace via PHOLD to
release it. PHOLD now KASSERT()'s that P_WEXIT is clear when it is
invoked, and PRELE now does a wakeup if P_WEXIT is set and p_lock drops
to zero.
- Change proc_rwmem() to require that the processing read from has its
vmspace held via PHOLD by the caller and get rid of all the junk to
screw around with the vmspace reference count as we no longer need it.
- In ptrace() and pseudofs(), treat a process with P_WEXIT set as if it
doesn't exist.
- Only do one PHOLD in kern_ptrace() now, and do it earlier so it covers
FIX_SSTEP() (since on alpha at least this can end up calling proc_rwmem()
to clear an earlier single-step simualted via a breakpoint). We only
do one to avoid races. Also, by making the EINVAL error for unknown
requests be part of the default: case in the switch, the various
switch cases can now just break out to return which removes a _lot_ of
duplicated PRELE and proc unlocks, etc. Also, it fixes at least one bug
where a LWP ptrace command could return EINVAL with the proc lock still
held.
- Changed the locking for ptrace_single_step(), ptrace_set_pc(), and
ptrace_clear_single_step() to always be called with the proc lock
held (it was a mixed bag previously). Alpha and arm have to drop
the lock while the mess around with breakpoints, but other archs
avoid extra lock release/acquires in ptrace(). I did have to fix a
couple of other consumers in kern_kse and a few other places to
hold the proc lock and PHOLD.

The patch crudely forces the NIC out of operating mode before the nve(4)
driver can initialize it; this is required to properly initialize the NIC.
It is XBox-specific, as this condition can only occur on XBoxes (Most loaders
will simply leave the NIC running, forcing us to use a crude workaround like
this to get it in a workable condition). Due to the XBox-only aspect, this has
been solved in XBox-specific initialization code and not within nve(4).

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

if the boot CPU has a local APIC because some BIOS vendors are not
competent enough to set this bit. Instead, just assume that we always have

requires either an MP Table or an ACPI MADT table to enumerate APICs. The
only systems that have one of those tables that don't have local APICs are
