any queued packets for the isr, process those packets before the newly
submitted packet, maintaining ordering of all packets being delivered
to the netisr. Remove the bypass counter since we don't bypass anymore.
Leave the comment about possible problems and options since later
performance optimization may change the strategy for addressing ordering
problems here.
Specifically, this maintains the strong isr ordering guarantee; additional
parallelism and lower latency may be possible by moving to weaker
guarantees (per-interface, for example). We will probably at some point
also want to remove the one instance netisr dispatch limit currently
enforced by a mutex, but it's not clear that's 100% safe yet, even in
the netperf branch.

frame marker) and the syscall stub frame info in the trap frame.
Previously we stored the stub frame info in (rp,pfs) and the
caller frame info in (iip,cfm). This ends up being suboptimal
for the following reasons:
1. When we create a new context, such as for an execve(2), we had
to set the (rp,pfs) pair for the entry point when using the
syscall path out of the kernel but we need to set the (iip,cfm)
pair when we take the interrupt way out. This is mostly just
an inconsistency from the kernel's point of view, but an ugly
irregularity from gdb(1)'s point of view.
2. The getcontext(2) and setcontext(2) syscalls had to swap the
(rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs to make the context compatible
with one created purely in userland.
Swapping the (rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs is visible to signal
handlers that actually peek at the mcontext_t and to gdb(1).
Since this change is made for gdb(1) and we don't care about
signal handlers that peek at the mcontext_t because we're still
a tier 2 platform, this ABI breakage is academic at this moment
in time.
Note that there was no real reason to save the caller frame info
in (iip,cfm) and the stub frame info in (rp,pfs).

Use uiomove_frombuf in procfs to correct several issues with
integer arithmetic that could result in underflows/overflows. As a
side-effect, the code is significantly simplified.

avoid problems with some Pentium 4 cpus and some older PPro/Pentium2
cpus. There are several problems, some documented in Intel errata.
This patch:
1) moves the kernel to the second page in the PSE case. There is an
errata that says that you Must Not point a 4MB page at physical
address zero on older cpus. We avoided bugs here due to sheer luck.
2) sets up PSE page tables right from the start in locore, rather than
trying to switch from 4K to 4M (or 2M) pages part way through the boot
sequence at the same time that we're messing with PG_G.
For some reason, the pmap work over the last 18 months seems to tickle
the problems, and the PAE infrastructure changes disturb the cpu
bugs even more.
A couple of people have reported a problem with APM bios calls during
boot. I'll work with people to get this resolved.

(direct dispatch) in interrupt threads when the netisr in question
isn't already active. If a netisr is already active, or direct
dispatch is already in progress, we queue the packet for later
delivery. Previously, this option was disabled by default. I have
measured 20%+ performance improvements in IP packet forwarding with
this enabled.
Please report any problems ASAP, especially relating to stack depth or
out-of-order packet processing.

Their purpose is to give explicit hints to the compiler to judge
the likelyhood of a test to succeed or fail. Not all architectures
have support for such optimizations, but for those who do, it can
give a nice performance improvement in hot loops.
Obviously, this should be used very rarely in very specific code.
