Remove stale comments from pmap_init().
Eliminate the Boolean variable pmap_initialized from the alpha, amd64,

because of the above changes and earlier changes that result in physical
memory that is being mapped at initialization time being mapped without
pv entries.

be stored by makesyscalls.sh in the sy_auevent field of struct sysent.
For now, default the audit identifier on all system calls to AUE_NULL,
but in the near future, other BSM event identifiers will be used. The
mapping of system calls to event identifiers is many:one due to
multiple system calls that map to the same end functionality across
compatibility wrappers, ABI wrappers, etc.

When the stack tracer walks up, it looks for magic symbol names to
determine how to parse non-standard stack frames, such as a trapframe.
It was looking for "calltrap". Which of the two symbols you got depended
on things like Phase of moon, etc. If you were unlucky, you got a
garbage stack trace for things like 'debug.trace_on_panic', which would
completely hide the actual source of the problem.

a regular IPI vector, but this vector is blocked when interrupts are disabled.
With "options KDB_STOP_NMI" and debug.kdb.stop_cpus_with_nmi set, KDB will
send an NMI to each CPU instead. The code also has a context-stuffing
feature which helps ddb extract the state of processes running on the
stopped CPUs.
KDB_STOP_NMI is only useful with SMP and complains if SMP is not defined.
This feature only applies to i386 and amd64 at the moment, but could be
used on other architectures with the appropriate MD bits.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64, powerpc, arm, possibly more
compiler features tests. This is ok, since machine/ieeefp.h is an internal
interface. But floatingpoint.h is a public interface and some ports use it,
so include sys/cdefs.h in the amd64 and i386 version of floatingpoint.h.
Note: some architectures don't provide recursive inclusion protection in
floatingpoint.h, namely alpha and ia64. Except for this part and now the
include of sys/cdefs.h, all those files are equal (from a compiler POV),
so they could be moved to only one version in src/include/.

BIOSes include legacy USB emulation that takes control of all usb
ports and only the ehci driver knows how to disable it.
to mistakes from day 1, it has always had semantics inconsistent with
SVR4 and its successors. In particular, given argument M:
- On Solaris and FreeBSD/{alpha,sparc64}, it clobbers the old flags
and *sets* the new flag word to M. (NetBSD, too?)
- On FreeBSD/{amd64,i386}, it *clears* the flags that are specified in M
and leaves the remaining flags unchanged (modulo a small bug on amd64.)
- On FreeBSD/ia64, it is not implemented.
There is no way to fix fpsetsticky() to DTRT for both old FreeBSD apps
and apps ported from other operating systems, so the best approach
seems to be to kill the function and fix any apps that break. I
couldn't find any ports that use it, and any such ports would already
be broken on FreeBSD/ia64 and Linux anyway.
By the way, the routine has always been undocumented in FreeBSD,
except for an MLINK to a manpage that doesn't describe it. This
manpage has stated since 5.3-RELEASE that the functions it describes
are deprecated, so that must mean that functions that it is *supposed*
to describe but doesn't are even *more* deprecated. ;-)
Note that fpresetsticky() has been retained on FreeBSD/i386. As far
as I can tell, no other operating systems or ports of FreeBSD
implement it, so there's nothing for it to be inconsistent with.

reorders a flag that was specific to AXP and thus changes the ABI there.
The interface still relies on bus_space definitions found in <machine/bus.h>
so it cannot be included on its own yet, but that will be fixed at a later
date. Add an MD <machine/bus_dma.h> for ever arch for consistency and to
allow for future MD augmentation of the API. sparc64 makes heavy use of
this right now due to its different bus_dma implemenation.
