is useless for threaded programs, multiple threads can not share same
stack.
The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,
the orignal P_ALTSTACK is now moved into td_pflags and renamed to
TDP_ALTSTACK.
For single thread or Linux clone() based threaded program, there is no
semantic changed, because those programs only have one kernel thread
in every process.

about the verbose macro expansion in this case. Note that the i386
version still has some OBE comments, I didn't re-add them back again.

1) mp_maxid is a valid FreeBSD CPU ID in the range 0 .. MAXCPU - 1.
2) For all active CPUs in the system, PCPU_GET(cpuid) <= mp_maxid.

the MTRR Base/Mask registers. If you use the documented algorithm in the
systems programming guide, you'll get a GPF. The only thing that has
prevented this so far is that the bios pre-sets some MTRR entries which
we mis-interpreted sufficiently to fool the memcontrol interface into
thinking all the address space was taken and therefore rejected XFree86's
requests. However, not all bioses do this.. You get an insta-panic in
that case. Grrr. A better fix (dynamic mask) will happen by 5.3/5-stable
so that we automatically adapt to more than 40 physical bits.

very early (SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1) and is responsible for setting mp_maxid.
cpu_mp_probe() is now called at SI_SUB_CPU and determines if SMP is
actually present and sets mp_ncpus and all_cpus. Splitting these up
allows an architecture to probe CPUs later than SI_SUB_TUNABLES by just
setting mp_maxid to MAXCPU in cpu_mp_setmaxid(). This could allow the
CPU probing code to live in a module, for example, since modules
sysinit's in modules cannot be invoked prior to SI_SUB_KLD. This is
needed to re-enable the ACPI module on i386.
- For the alpha SMP probing code, use LOCATE_PCS() instead of duplicating
its contents in a few places. Also, add a smp_cpu_enabled() function
to avoid duplicating some code. There is room for further code
reduction later since much of this code is also present in cpu_mp_start().
- All archs besides i386 still set mp_maxid to the same values they set it
to before this change. i386 now sets mp_maxid to MAXCPU.

known samples of broken chipsets that needed mixed mode in the first place
are so broken (ie: locks up) that we can't use IO APIC mode at all and it
needs to be turned off in the bios. So, the MIXED_MODE penalty on the
good chipsets gained nothing.

the compiler having to parse and optimize the PCPU_GET(curthread) so often.
__curthread() is an inline optimized version of PCPU_GET(curthread) that
knows that pc_curthread is at offset zero in the pcpu struct. Add a
CTASSERT() to catch any possible changes to this. This accounts for
just over a 1% wall clock speedup for total kernel compile/link time,
and 20% compile time speedup on some specific files depending on which
compile options are used.

- turn on SMP in generic
- add 'device atpic' - this is unconditional on i386, but certain nvidia
based systems need to disable acpi because the reference bios seems to be
hosed. If acpi is disabled, we won't find the apic. amd64 has the
mptable code in a seperate compile option as well.
- turn sym back on, it doesn't fail to compile anymore.

- This is still a WIP. It seems that there are some highly bogus bioses
on nVidia nForce3-150 boards. I can't stress how broken these boards
are. I have a workaround in mind, but right now the Asus SK8N is broken.
The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed.
- Most of my testing has been with SCHED_ULE. SCHED_4BSD works.
- the apic and acpi components are 'standard'.
- If you have an nVidia nForce3-150 board, you are stuck with 'device
atpic' in addition, because they somehow managed to forget to connect the
8254 timer to the apic, even though its in the same silicon! ARGH!
This directly violates the ACPI spec.

- Move the sf_buf API to its own header file; make struct sf_buf's
definition machine dependent. In this commit, we remove an
unnecessary field from struct sf_buf on the alpha, amd64, and ia64.
Ultimately, we may eliminate struct sf_buf on those architecures
except as an opaque pointer that references a vm page.
