Our current MII/PHY state-engine is not able to deal with PHY

to use the link/status change call-back mechanism. It seems that
MII/PHY was orphaned before it grew up.
pmap_ensure_rid(). This can happen because the function is
called for both user and kernel addresses, while the rid array
only has room for user addresses. This bug got exposed by rev

This leaves some vestiges of the old locking, including style
bugs in it. I've only noticed anachronisms in socketvar.h so far
(I've merged net* but not kern or all of sys). The patch also
has old fixes for style bugs in accf stuff and namespace pollution
in uma... The largest style bugs are line continued backslashes
in column 80 and (these are fixed), and starting the do-while
code for the new macros in column 40, which is quite unlike the
usual indentation (see sys/queue.h) and not even like the indentation
for the old macros (column 32) (this is not fixed).

- Reorder fork1() to do malloc() and other blocking operations prior to
acquiring the needed process locks.
- The new process inherit's the credentials of curthread, not the
credentials of the old process.
- Document a really weird race that will come up with KSE allows multiple

exit1() we don't have to release it until we acquire schd_lock to
call cpu_throw().
- Since we can switch at any time due to preemption or a lock release
prior to acquiring sched_lock, don't update switchtime and switchticks
until the very end of exit1() after we have acquired sched_lock.
- Interlock the proctree_lock and proc lock in wait1() and exit1() to
avoid lost wakeups when a parent blocks waiting for a child to exit at
the bottom of wait1(). In exit1() the proc lock interlocked with
proctree_lock (and released after acquiring sched_lock) is that of
the parent process.
- In wait1() use an exclusive lock of proctree lock while we are
looking for a process to harvest. This allows us to completely
remove all references to the process once we've found one (i.e.,
disconnect it from pgrp's, session's, zombproc list, and it's parent's
children list) "atomically" without needing to worry about a lock
upgrade.
- We don't need sched_lock to test if p_stat is SZOMB or SSTOP when holding
the proc lock since the proc lock is always held with p_stat is set to
SZOMB or SSTOP.
- Protect nprocs with an xlock of the allproc_lock.

- Defer other blocking operations such as vrele()'s until after we
release locks.
- execsigs() now requires the proc lock to be held when it is called

Implement the following checks on freed memory in the bucket path:
- Slab membership

down INVARIANTS a bit, but it is smp safe. The checks were moved out of the
normal path and into hooks supplied in uma_dbg.

Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.
Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.
In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.

loading breakage'). The patch fixes serious issues with the VFS
operations vector array which results in a crash when a filesystem module
adding a new VOP is loaded into the kernel. Basically what was happening
before was that the old operations vector was being freed and a new one
allocated. The original MALLOC code tended to reuse the same address
for the case and so the bug did not rear its ugly head until the new memory
subsystem was emplaced.
This patch replaces the temporary workaround Dave O'Brien comitted in 1.58.
The patch is clean enough that I intend to MFC it to stable at some point.

This code takes the form of special init, fini, ctor and dtor routines that

only for exceptions.
While adding this to exception_save and exception_restore, it was hard
to find a good place to put the instructions. The code sequence was
sufficiently arbitrarily ordered that the density was low (roughly 67%).
No explicit bundling was used.
Thus, I rewrote the functions to optimize for density (close to 80% now),
and added explicit bundles and nop instructions. The immediate operand
on the nop instruction has been incremented with each instance, to make
debugging a bit easier when looking at recurring patterns. Redundant
stops have been removed as much as possible. Future optimizations can
focus more on performance. A well-placed lfetch can make all the
difference here!
Also, the FRAME_Fxx defines in frame.h were mostly bogus. FRAME_F10 to
FRAME_F15 were copied from FRAME_F9 and still had the same index. We
don't use them yet, so nothing was broken.

Remove a redundant test for fragmented fids in both udf_readdir()

malloc profiling) also modified the set of pre-defined buckets for the
memory allocator. For reasons unknown to me, this resulted in extensive
memory corruption in the kernel, in particular on SMP boxes, so I'm
committing this work-around until Jeff gets a chance to debug it
properly. David Wolfskill pointed me at this commit as the one that
might be a problem; I've been running this code on two dual-processor
burn-in boxes for about 12 hours now, and the rate of panics due to
memory corruption has dropped to zero (from one every five minutes).

Introduce mii_down(), use it from nge. Do not indirect it to 19 identical
case's in 19 switchstatements like NetBSD did.
Highlights include:
- New low-level trap code from NetBSD. The high level code still needs a lot
of work.
- Fixes for some pmap handling in thread switching.
- The kernel will now get to attempting to jump into init in user mode. There
are some pmap/trap issues which prevent it from actually getting there though.
