vm_guest in conditionals testing for KVM.

Also, fix a conditional checking if we're running in a VM which caught only

302244700f xen: automatically disable MSI-X interrupt migration
If the hypervisor version is smaller than 4.6.0. Xen commits 74fd00 and
70a3cb are required on the hypervisor side for this to be fixed, and those
are only included in 4.6.0, so stay on the safe side and disable MSI-X
interrupt migration on anything older than 4.6.0.

It should not cause major performance degradation unless a lot of MSI-X
interrupts are allocated.

96c85efb4b Replace a number of conflations of mp_ncpus and mp_maxid with either
mp_maxid or CPU_FOREACH() as appropriate. This fixes a number of places in
the kernel that assumed CPU IDs are dense in [0, mp_ncpus) and would try,
for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the
range and mp_maxid > mp_ncpus. Such circumstances generally occur on
systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system
operation at least on POWER8 systems configured in this way.

There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known
to occur, mostly in the ARM machine-dependent code. These will be fixed
in a follow-up commit after the stable/11 branch.

TLBs for addresses with updated PTEs are always flushed before pmap
lock is unlocked.  On the other hand, amd64 pmap code does not always
flushes TLBs before PV list locks are unlocked, if previously PTEs
were cleared and PV entries removed.

To handle the situations where a thread might notice empty PV list but
third thread still having access to the page due to TLB invalidation
not finished yet, introduce delayed invalidation.  Comparing with the
pvh_global_lock, DI does not block entered thread when
pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write() (callers of
pmap_delayed_invl_wait()) are executed in parallel.  But _invl_wait()
callers are blocked until all previously noted DI blocks are leaved,
thus ensuring that neccessary TLB invalidations were performed before
returning from pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write().

See comments for detailed description of the mechanism, and also for
the explanations why several pmap methods, most important
pmap_enter(), do not need DI protection.

8d791e5af1 Add a new bus method to fetch device-specific CPU sets.
bus_get_cpus() returns a specified set of CPUs for a device.  It accepts
an enum for the second parameter that indicates the type of cpuset to
request.  Currently two valus are supported:

 - LOCAL_CPUS (on x86 this returns all the CPUs in the package closest to
   the device when DEVICE_NUMA is enabled)
 - INTR_CPUS (like LOCAL_CPUS but only returns 1 SMT thread for each core)

For systems that do not support NUMA (or if it is not enabled in the kernel
config), LOCAL_CPUS fails with EINVAL.  INTR_CPUS is mapped to 'all_cpus'
by default.  The idea is that INTR_CPUS should always return a valid set.

Device drivers which want to use per-CPU interrupts should start using
INTR_CPUS instead of simply assigning interrupts to all available CPUs.
In the future we may wish to add tunables to control the policy of
INTR_CPUS (e.g. should it be local-only or global, should it ignore
SMT threads or not).

The x86 nexus driver exposes the internal set of interrupt CPUs from the
the x86 interrupt code via INTR_CPUS.

The ACPI bus driver and PCI bridge drivers use _PXM to return a suitable
LOCAL_CPUS set when _PXM exists and DEVICE_NUMA is enabled.  They also and
the global INTR_CPUS set from the nexus driver with the per-domain set from
_PXM to generate a local INTR_CPUS set for child devices.

Compared to the r298933, this version uses 'struct _cpuset' in
<sys/bus.h> instead of 'cpuset_t' to avoid requiring <sys/param.h>
(<sys/_cpuset.h> still requires <sys/param.h> for MAXCPU even though
<sys/_bitset.h> does not after recent changes).

82cb5c3b5b Native PCI-express HotPlug support.
PCI-express HotPlug support is implemented via bits in the slot
registers of the PCI-express capability of the downstream port along
with an interrupt that triggers when bits in the slot status register
change.

This is implemented for FreeBSD by adding HotPlug support to the
PCI-PCI bridge driver which attaches to the virtual PCI-PCI bridges
representing downstream ports on HotPlug slots. The PCI-PCI bridge
driver registers an interrupt handler to receive HotPlug events. It
also uses the slot registers to determine the current HotPlug state
and drive an internal HotPlug state machine. For simplicty of
implementation, the PCI-PCI bridge device detaches and deletes the
child PCI device when a card is removed from a slot and creates and
attaches a PCI child device when a card is inserted into the slot.

The PCI-PCI bridge driver provides a bus_child_present which claims
that child devices are present on HotPlug-capable slots only when a
card is inserted. Rather than requiring a timeout in the RC for
config accesses to not-present children, the pcib_read/write_config
methods fail all requests when a card is not present (or not yet
ready).

These changes include support for various optional HotPlug
capabilities such as a power controller, mechanical latch,
electro-mechanical interlock, indicators, and an attention button.
It also includes support for devices which require waiting for
command completion events before initiating a subsequent HotPlug
command. However, it has only been tested on ExpressCard systems
which support surprise removal and have none of these optional
capabilities.

PCI-express HotPlug support is conditional on the PCI_HP option
which is enabled by default on arm64, x86, and powerpc.

Summary:
The Initial Local APIC ID is returned by CPUID function 1 (in EBX).
On AMD Family 10h systems the way that ID is built is controlled by
an MSR bit (InitApicIdCpuIdLo).  BKDG instructs BIOS to set it in a
certain way, but a BIOS can be buggy.  In that case the ID can confuse
tools that use it, e.g. hwloc.
For example, on a system that I own real Local APIC IDs are configured
as 0, 1, 2, 3, but IDs reported via CPUID.1 are 0, 0x40, 0x80, 0xc0.

Savecore(1) has been updated to deal with these dumps.  The format for

ab83575070 Make CloudABI's way of doing TLS more friendly to userspace emulators.
We're currently seeing how hard it would be to run CloudABI binaries on
operating systems cannot be modified easily (Windows, Mac OS X). The
idea is that we want to just run them without any sandboxing. Now
that CloudABI executables are PIE, this is already a bit easier, but TLS
is still problematic:

- CloudABI executables want to write to the %fs, which typically
  requires extra system calls by the emulator every time it needs to
  switch between CloudABI's and its own TLS.

- If CloudABI executables overwrite the %fs base unconditionally, it
  also becomes harder for the emulator to store a backup of the old
  value of %fs. To solve this, let's no longer overwrite %fs, but just
  %fs:0.

As CloudABI's C library does not use a TCB, this space can now be used
by an emulator to keep track of its internal state. The executable can
now safely overwrite %fs:0, as long as it makes sure that the TCB is
copied over to the new TLS area.

Ensure that there is an initial TLS area set up when the process starts,
only containing a bogus TCB. We don't really care about its contents on
FreeBSD.
