o Make vm_page_lock_queues() and vm_page_unlock_queues() visible

choosethread() in MI C code instead of doing it in in assembly in all the
various cpu_switch() functions. This fixes problems on ia64 and sparc64.

hardly MD, since all our platforms share the same macro. It's not
really compiler dependent either, but this helps in reducing
<machine/ansi.h> to only type definitions.
threaded VM pagezero kthread outside of Giant. For some platforms, this
is really easy since it can just use the direct mapped region. For others,
IPI sending is involved or there are other issues, so grab Giant when
needed.
We still have preemption issues to deal with, but Alan Cox has an
interesting suggestion on how to minimize the problem on x86.
Use Luigi's hack for preserving the (lack of) priority.
Turn the idle zeroing back on since it can now actually do something useful
outside of Giant in many cases.
pmap_swapin_proc/pmap_swapout_proc functions from the MD pmap code
and use a single equivalent MI version. There are other cleanups
needed still.
While here, use the UMA zone hooks to keep a cache of preinitialized
proc structures handy, just like the thread system does. This eliminates
one dependency on 'struct proc' being persistent even after being freed.
There are some comments about things that can be factored out into
ctor/dtor functions if it is worth it. For now they are mostly just
doing statistics to get a feel of how it is working.

obtained, when all other scheduling activity is suspended. This is needed
on sparc64 to deactivate the vmspace of the exiting process on all cpus.
Otherwise if another unrelated process gets the exact same vmspace structure
allocated to it (same address), its address space will not be activated
properly. This seems to fix some spontaneous signal 11 problems with smp
on sparc64.
implementations can provide a base zero ffs function if they wish.
This changes
#define RQB_FFS(mask) (ffs64(mask))
foo = RQB_FFS(mask) - 1;
to
#define RQB_FFS(mask) (ffs64(mask) - 1)
foo = RQB_FFS(mask);
On some platforms we can get the "- 1" for free, eg: those that use the
C code for ffs64().

uifind() with a proc lock held.
change_ruid() and change_euid() have been modified to take a uidinfo
structure which will be pre-allocated by callers, they will then
call uihold() on the uidinfo structure so that the caller's logic
is simplified.
This allows one to call uifind() before locking the proc struct and
thereby avoid a potential blocking allocation with the proc lock
held.
This may need revisiting, perhaps keeping a spare uidinfo allocated
per process to handle this situation or re-examining if the proc
lock needs to be held over the entire operation of changing real
or effective user id.

- ktrace no longer requires Giant so do ktrace syscall events before and
after acquiring and releasing Giant, respectively.
- For i386, ia32 syscalls on ia64, powerpc, and sparc64, get rid of the
goto bad hack and instead use the model on ia64 and alpha were we
skip the actual syscall invocation if error != 0. This fixes a bug
where if we the copyin() of the arguments failed for a syscall that
was not marked MP safe, we would try to release Giant when we had
not acquired it.
regardless of if they are signed or unsigned since it is easier to work
with sign-extended values. Thus, remove the disabled zapnot to
zero-extend the sign-extended value we read from *p in atomic_cmpset_32()
since the cmpval we are comparing against should already be
sign-extended.
- To ensure that the compiler knows to sign-extend the upper 32 bits of
cmpval rather than leaving garbage in there, cast the appropriately in
the constraints section.

This is a temporary workaround so kernels work again on alpha.
