data structures pick up security and synchronization primitives, it
becomes increasingly desirable not to arbitrarily export them via
include files to userland, as the userland applications pick up new
#include dependencies.

windows. Right now we only support pci chips that are memory mapped.
These are the most common bridges in use today and will help a large
majority of the users.
I/O mapped PCI chips support this functionality in a different way, as
do some of the ISA bridges (but only when mounted on a motherboard).
These chips are not supported by this change.
but is useful to have handy. EFI GPT partitions are used instead of the
fdisk+disklabel combination. They are pure 64 bit LBA, are fully
extensible, support up to 16383 partitons per disk, etc.
completeness and doesn't get us a working libc_r there because libc_r
uses setjmp() and setjmp() cannot be used for context switches on ia64
as-is (or sparc64). Rather than making setjmp/longjmp behave like
the *context() calls, it would be far better to make libc_r use *context()
directly which is what they are for.

info. This turned out to be rather useful on ia64 for tracking down
malloc/free problems.
Detect duplicate free()'s - otherwise these show up as a guard1 failure
and it looks like corruption instead of something simple like a second
free() where there shouldn't be.
Deal with libz using libc headers and not seeing the malloc/free stuff that
we provide in libstand. Do similar nastiness to what is done for bzlib.
Tested on: i386, ia64 (compile, run)
Bug#1: The GetStatus() function returns radically different pointers that
do not match any packets we transmitted. I think it might be pointing to
a copy of the packet or something. Since we do not transmit more than
one packet at a time, just wait for "anything".
Bug#2: The Receive() function takes a pointer and a length. However, it
either ignores the length or otherwise does bad things and writes outside
of ptr[0] through ptr[len-1]. This is bad and causes massive stack
corruption for us since we are receiving packets into small buffers on
the stack. Instead, Receive() into a large enough buffer and bcopy the
data to the requested area.
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.
Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

the loadav. This is not real load. If you have a nice process running in
the background, pagezero may sit in the run queue for ages and add one to
the loadav, and thereby affecting other scheduling decisions.
