an uncorrected ECC error tends to fire on all CPUs in a package
simultaneously and the current printf hacks are not sufficient to make
the messages legible. Instead, use the existing mca_lock spinlock to
serialize calls to mca_log() and change the machine check code to panic
directly when an unrecoverable error is encoutered rather than falling
back to a trap_fatal() call in trap() (which adds nearly a screen-full of
logging messages that aren't useful for machine checks).

bridges. Rather than blindly enabling the windows on all of them, only
enable the window when an MSI interrupt is enabled for a device behind
the bridge, similar to what already happens for HT PCI-PCI bridges.
To implement this, each x86 Host-PCI bridge driver has to be able to
locate it's actual backing device on bus 0. For ACPI, use the _ADR
method to find the slot and function of the device. For the non-ACPI
case, the legacy(4) driver already scans bus 0 looking for Host-PCI
bridge devices. Now it saves the slot and function of each bridge that
it finds as ivars that the Host-PCI bridge driver can then use in its
pcib_map_msi() method.
This fixes machines where non-MSI interrupts were broken by the previous
round of HT MSI changes.

kernel.
When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the
corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB. In contrast, when
access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not
flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB. This is exactly as
recommended in AMD's documentation. In effect, when access
restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will
transparently refresh a stale TLB entry. In short, this saves us from
having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes. In contrast,
Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon
the stale TLB entry. Usually, such spurious page faults are handled
by vm_fault() without incident. However, when we are executing
no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute
vm_fault(). This change introduces special-case handling for spurious
page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel.

As of FreeBSD 8, this driver should not be used. Applications that use
posix_openpt(2) and openpty(3) use the pts(4) that is built into the
kernel unconditionally. If it turns out high profile depend on the
pty(4) module anyway, I'd rather get those fixed. So please report any

The pty(4) module is still available as a kernel module of course, so a
simple `kldload pty' can be used to run old-style pseudo-terminals.
