we will never use more memory than this value (if specified), but will always
check memory for validity up to this amount.
Get rid of the speculative_mprobe option; the memory amount can now be
specified by hw.physmem.
QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).
Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.
The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.
reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This
algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.
The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.
A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c.

behavior slightly.
If machine/bus.h is included, but neither bus_memio.h nor bus_pio.h
are included, then behave as if both were included.
This won't change existing drivers, all of which include one or more
of bus_{p,mem}io.h, but will allow drivers from other systems to come
over with fewer changes. I freely admit that this might not be
optimal for some drivers, but those drivers can be optimized for
FreeBSD after the initial bringup happens.
Without the change, there is a bug that preclude drivers from
compiling with strange warning/errors.
I've been running this here for a while now w/o ill effects.

- The kernel environment variable 'hw.physmem' can be used to set the
amount of physical memory space, based at 0, that FreeBSD will use.
Any memory detected over this limit is ignored. Documentation for
this is available under 'help set tunables' in the loader.
- In the case where system memory size can't be accurately determined,
hw.physmem is used as a best-guess memory size, but speculative
probing will be used to determine actual memory size if any of the
guesses or hints are 16M or more.
- If RB_VERBOSE, we list the memory regions as we test them.
- The compile-time option MAXMEM supplies a default value for
'hw.physmem'.

exactly the same. Userconfig overrides of this have not worked for
ages.
Also, change the getenv for the loader override to hw.physmem based on a
prior suggestion from Mike Smith. I think he still wants to change this
some, but this shouldn't get in his way. This is a forced setting of
the memory size, not a "cap". We probably should have a plain 'maxmem'
variable as well which does do a cap, without loosing the bios memory
configuration data.

since it's consistant with the config variable it replaces.
This is intended to replace the npx0 msize hack (which no longer works).
SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface. kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook. This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process. This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.
One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process. It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit. This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available". This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.
1. Rise is recognized in identdcpu.c.
2. The TSC is not written to. A workaround for the CPU bug is being
applied to clock.c (the bug being that the mP6 has TSC enabled
in its CPUID-capabilities, but it only supports reading it. If we
try to write to it (MSR 16), a GPF occurs.) The new behavior is that
FreeBSD will _not_ zero the TSC. Instead, we do a bit of 64-bit
arithmetic.

1. CPUID had MTRR set (this was there before)
2. the CPU was GenuineIntel (not there)

This should prevent any problems with CPUs that set MTRR but aren't

automatically hacks on the active copy of the IDT if f00f_hack()
has changed it. This also allows simplifications in setidt().
This fixes breakage of FP exception handling by rev.1.55 of
sys/kernel.h. FP exceptions were sent to npx.c's probe handlers
because npx.c "restored" the old handlers to the wrong copy of the
IDT. The SYSINIT for f00f_hack() was purposely run quite late to
avoid problems like this, but it is bogusly associated with the
SYSINIT for proc0 so it was moved with the latter.

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.

Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the

Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.
The old version only worked right when the time was read strictly
more often than every 1/HZ seconds, but we only guarantee reading
it every (1/HZ + epsilon) seconds. Part of rev.1.126-1.127 attempted
to fix this but didn't succeed. Detect counter rollover using the
heuristic from the old version of microtime() with additional
complications for supporting calls from fast interrupt handlers.
This works provided i8254 interrupts are not delayed by more than
1/(2*HZ) seconds.
This needs more comments, and cleanups for the SMP case, and more
testing of the SMP case before it is merged into RELENG_3.

- Remove all references to mfs from cpu_rootconf(). mfs_init is
called prior to cpu_rootconf(), so it can set mountrootfsname to mfs
