This patch adds support for MSI interrupts when running on Xen. Apart
from adding the Xen related code needed in order to register MSI
interrupts this patch also makes the msi_init function a hook in
init_ops, so different MSI implementations can have different
initialization functions.

too much duplicate functionality.
The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:
- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).
- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).
- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into
the hypervisor (e.g., MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE).

Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
early in system startup.
- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
interrupt delivery infrastructure.
- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
and HVM guests.
- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
thread.
- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
be used to optimize MSI.

machine/signal.h and machine/ucontext.h into common x86 includes,
copying from amd64 and merging with i386.
Kernel-only compat definitions are kept in the i386/include/sigframe.h
and i386/include/signal.h, to reduce amd64 kernel namespace pollution.
The amd64 compat uses its own definitions so far.
The _MACHINE_ELF_WANT_32BIT definition is to allow the
sys/boot/userboot/userboot/elf32_freebsd.c to use i386 ELF definitions
on the amd64 compile host. The same hack could be usefully abused by
other code too.
Rather than trying to KASSERT for callers that invoke this on
IO tags, either do nothing (for write_8) or return ~0 (for read_8).
Using KASSERT here just makes bus.h too messy from both
polluting bus.h with systm.h (for any number of drivers that include
bus.h without first including systm.h) or ports that use bus.h
directly (i.e. libpciaccess) as reported by zeising@.
Also don't try to implement all of the other bus_space functions for
8 byte access since realistically only these two are needed for some
devices that expose 64-bit memory-mapped registers.
Put the amd64-specific functions here rather than sys/amd64/include/bus.h
so that we can keep this header unified for x86, as requested by mdf@
and tijl@.

1. We use XRSTOR and XSAVE from the same CPL using the same linear
address for the store area
2. Contrary to the recommendations, we cannot zero the FPU save area
for a new thread, since fork semantic requires the copy of the
previous state. This advice seemingly contradicts to the advice
from the item 6.
3. We do use XSAVEOPT in the context switch code only, and the area
for XSAVEOPT already always contains the data saved by XSAVE.
4. We do not modify the save area between XRSTOR, when the area is
loaded into FPU context, and XSAVE. We always spit the fpu context
into save area and start emulation when directly writing into FPU
context.
5. We do not use segmented addressing to access save area, or rather,
always address it using %ds basing.
6. XSAVEOPT can be only executed in the area which was previously
loaded with XRSTOR, since context switch code checks for FPU use by
outgoing thread before saving, and thread which stopped emulation
forcibly get context loaded with XRSTOR.
7. The PCB cannot be paged out while FPU emulation is turned off, since
stack of the executing thread is never swapped out.
The context switch code is patched to issue XSAVEOPT instead of XSAVE
if supported. This approach eliminates one conditional in the context
switch code, which would be needed otherwise.
For user-visible machine context to have proper data, fpugetregs()
checks for unsaved extension blocks and manually copies pristine FPU
state into them, according to the description provided by CPUID leaf
0xd.

This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX
respectively.
