around limitations in the ia64 kernel stack handling code. Basically
preallocate a bunch of threads (and hence kstacks) while contigmalloc()
still works, and never free them back to the general memory pool. After
the system has been running for a while, contigmalloc() eventually fails
at a critical momemt and panics the system.
is partly based on the Alpha system which duplicates the clock to
each cpu, instead of doing a clock roundrobin like on i386. This means
we get hz * ncpu clocks per second and so we have to seperate clock
sampling from actual 'do the work' clock processing. The BSP runs the
complete processing, the rest just sample state etc.
Using the on-cpu interval timer is not ideal as it will drift. There
is more to be done here, we should use an external clock source.
it. It's also only used in vm/vm_swap.c, but that is also the only source
file that #include's <sys/dmap.h>. sys/dmap.h could probably be embedded
entirely in vm_swap.c since that is the only consumer of it.
off_t is for offsets in files, and it is signed so it was no better
than the original type of int for avoiding warnings from broken lints,
except accidentally on machines like i386's where size_t is smaller
than off_t.
o Source ID's in wrong location.
o Space used, instead of tab, after typedef.
o Unaligned function prototype for twalk().
Other changes:
o Add missing const qualifier in tfind().
o Add comment about missing functions.

totally bogus but will hide the occurances of access of 0xbc(NULL) which
people have run into lately. This is not a proper fix, just a bandaid, until
the cause of this happening is tracked down and fixed.

dereference the struct sigio pointer without any locking. Change
fgetown() to take a reference to the pointer instead of a copy of the
pointer and call SIGIO_LOCK() before copying the pointer and
dereferencing it.
