698bfad7f2 Now a dev_t is a pointer to struct specinfo which is shared by all specdev
vnodes referencing this device.

Details:
        cdevsw->d_parms has been removed, the specinfo is available
        now (== dev_t) and the driver should modify it directly
        when applicable, and the only driver doing so, does so:
        vn.c.  I am not sure the logic in checking for "<" was right
        before, and it looks even less so now.

        An intial pool of 50 struct specinfo are depleted during
        early boot, after that malloc had better work.  It is
        likely that fewer than 50 would do.

        Hashing is done from udev_t to dev_t with a prime number
        remainder hash, experiments show no better hash available
        for decent cost (MD5 is only marginally better)  The prime
        number used should not be close to a power of two, we use
        83 for now.

        Add new checkalias2() to get around the loss of info from
        dev2udev() in bdevvp();

        The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,
        and speclisth[SPECSZ] is unused.  The sharing of struct
        specinfo means that the v_specnext moves into the vnode
        which grows by 4 bytes.

        Don't use a VBLK dev_t which doesn't make sense in MFS, now
        we hang a dummy cdevsw on B/Cmaj 253 so that things look sane.

	Storage overhead from all of this is O(50k).

        Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400009

The next step will add the stuff needed so device-drivers can start to
hang things from struct specinfo

d1a6c79537 Update of the i686 MTRR/memory range support.
- Support for setting memory range attributes on SMP systems using the
   new SMP rendezvous function
 - Don't print the confusing default memory type message.
 - Allow legal overlapping range types.
 - Turn interrupts back on after setting MTRRs in UP mode (whoops)
 - Don't waste time calling invltlb() after wbinvd(); it's not
   SMP-compatible (interrupts are off) and unncessary because
   wbinvd already flushes the TLB.

This code is now essentially feature-complete.

91fe3dc1e1 Implement an all-CPU shootdown-style rendezvous facility. This allows
the caller to specify a function to be guarded between an entry and exit
barrier, as well as pre- and post-barrier functions.

The primary use for this function is synchronised update of per-cpu private
data.  The implementation is almost (but not quite) MI; with a better
mechanism for masking per-CPU interrupts it could probably be hoisted.

b31b2566e0 Revert some changes I had made to try and cut down on the number of TX EOF
interrupts that were scheduled. Testing shows it didn't really do very much
and it makes the code a little more complicated (which is never a good thing).

Also fix the rambuffer offset initialization for the 512K/64K SRAM case
(512K total using 64K chips). It should be 0. The only case with a
non-standard rambuffer offset address is 1024K/64K according to the
SysKonnect manual. (My card has the 1024/64 configuration and I don't know
which card uses the 512/64 configuration, if any, so I'm not sure that
this was really a problem for anyone.)

e58bb1c453 Changed the implementation of the primitives to guarantee atomicity
with respect to interrupts on UP systems.  (The upgrade from gcc 2.7.x

swap_pager_getpages.)

In addition, the primitives are now SMP-safe, but only on SMPs.  (For
portability between SMPs and UPs, modules are compiled with the SMP-safe
versions.)

3ebb090530 This commit adds driver support for the SysKonnect SK-984x series
gigabit ethernet adapters. This includes two single port cards
(single mode and multimode fiber) and two dual port cards (also single
mode and multimode fiber). SysKonnect is currently the only
vendor with a dual port gigabit ethernet NIC.

The ports on dual port adapters are treated as separate network
interfaces. Thus, if you have an SK-9844 dual port SX card, you
should have both sk0 and sk1 interfaces attached. Dual port cards
are implemented using two XMAC II chips connected to a single
SysKonnect GEnesis controller. Hence, dual port cards are really
one PCI device, as opposed to two separate PCI devices connected
through a PCI to PCI bridge. Note that SysKonnect's drivers use
the two ports for failover purposes rather that as two separate
interfaces, plus they don't support jumbo frames. This applies to
their Linux driver too. :)

Support is provided for hardware multicast filtering, BPF and
jumbo frames. The SysKonnect cards support TCP checksum offload
however this feature is not currently enabled (hopefully it will
be once we get checksum offload support).

There are still a few things that need to be implemeted, like
the ability to communicate with the on-board LM80 voltage/temperature
monitor, but I wanted to get the driver under CVS control and into
-current so people could bang on it.

A big thanks for SysKonnect for making all their programming info
for these cards (and for their FDDI and token ring cards) available
without NDA (see www.syskonnect.com).

ad8ac923fa These changes appear to give us benefits with both small (32MB) and
large (1G) memory machine configurations.  I was able to run 'dbench 32'
on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.

    * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated.  This will
      have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
      will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.

    * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit().  I noticed that
      all the calls to it used constant arguments.  Making
      it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
      deeper inlines and should produce better code.

    * removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement
      of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission.  If we do not
      find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.

    * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
      necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.

    * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
      to vfs_bio.c

    * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
      ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
      buffers are present in the system.

    * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
      now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.

    * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
      to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.

    * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
      vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
      in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
      offset of the buffer passed to it.  This will probably not
      make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
      to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
      some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
      I/O initiation.

    * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
      added.  They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
      been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
      to getnewbuf().  getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
      of it being misused by other modules.  ( Unless Kirk can think
      of a specific thing that this code fixes.  I went through it
      very carefully and didn't see anything ).

    * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues().  I do not
      think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
      whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).

    * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
      necessary.

    * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
      vfs_cluster.c

    * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
      which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
      situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
      to operate more efficiently.

    * removal of b_usecount.  We may add it back in later but for now
      it is useless.  Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
      had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
      which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
      the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
      Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
      are VMIO backed.  I expect that (even though John will not like
      this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

24e82101e0 Fix a potential race condition that can occur in xl_start(). If the NIC
clears out the transmit queue and zeroes the downlist pointer register,
but xl_txeof() isn't called before xl_start() tries to queue more packets,
xl_start() will think that the DMA is still in progress and not update
the downlist register again, thus causing packets to sit in the transmit
queue forever.
