parameter a char ** instead of a const char **. This make these
kernel routines consistent with the corresponding libc userland
routines.
Which is actually 'correct' is debatable, but consistency and
following the spec was deemed more important in this case.

we instead use 0(%esp), which is per-cpu, already pretty much
guarenteed to be locked into the cache, and does not stress the cache's
set associativity. invlpg might also be a good choice (suggested by
Ingo).

MP lock for the last time. The use of a locked instruction to
cpu-private memory is 3x faster then CPUID and 3x faster then the
use of a locked instruction to shared memory (the lock itself).
Instruction serialization is required to ensure that any pending
memory ops are properly flushed prior to the release of the lock,
due to out-of-order instruction execution by the cpu.
Since an osigcontext is smaller, if you check for a valid (much larger sized)
ucontext_t and it fails, we bogusly would reject the osigcontext as per
rev 1.378. Instead, check for osigcontext range validity first, and
ucontext_t later. This unbreaks Netscape.

- Add support for GUS and CS461x/428x pcm.
- Move newpcm drivers for ISA cards to files.i386. The drivers for
PC98 would be something quite different from those for PC/AT.

o Delete pcic1 from NEWCARD
o Add explicit resource hints to pcic0
o Get attach working with newbus, kinda (it does all the newbus stuff,
but doesn't try to attach the pccard yet, too many panics).
o Disable ie0 and le0 in NEWCARD config. There appears to be a bug in
the isa_compat code wrt memory conflicts with newbus drivers for
reasons unknown.
o Minor cleanups.
to use a locked cmpexg when unlocking a lock that we already hold, since
nobody else can touch the lock while we hold it. Second, it is not
necessary to use a locked cmpexg when locking a lock that we already
hold, for the same reason. These changes will allow MP locks to be used
recursively without impacting performance.
Modify two procedures that are called only by assembly and are already
NOPROF entries to pass a critical argument in %edx instead of on the
stack, removing a significant amount of code from the critical path
as a consequence.

that breaks if you try and compile a kernel before building world, as
is presently required to get past the signal changes. I don't
particularly like doing this, but at least it will mean that a 'make world'

Historically, the documentation of extended asm was lacking, namely you
should NOT specify the same register as an input, and a clobber.
If the register is clobbered, it should be specified as an output as well,
e.g., by linking input and output through the "number" notation.
(Beware of lvalues, some local variables needed...)

In versions up to egcs-1.1.1, the compiler did not even warn about it,
but it was liable to output bad code. Newer egcs are pickier and simply
refuse to swallow such code.
Note, since *addr changes, it needs to be an output operand.
We might be excessive in saying that all memory has changed.
