saving and restoring ia32 specific registers when switching
context and ia32 support has not been compiled-in. The primary
reason for this change is that one of the ia32 registers (ar.fcr)
is wrongly marked as invalid by the simulator. Now that we avoid
using the register when possible, usability is improved. The
secundary reason is that it saves us 7 loads and stores.
Note that the PCB will continue to have room for these registers,
irrespective of the IA32 option. There are no benefits that make
it worthwhile.
and instead add platform, firmware and EFI stubs to the loader.
The net effect of this change is that besides a special console and
disk driver, the kernel has no knowledge of the simulator. This has
the following advantages:
o Simulator support is much harder to break,
o It's easier to make use of more feature complete simulators.
This would only need a change in the simulator specific loader,
o Running SMP kernels within the simulator. Note that ski at this
time does not simulate IPIs, so there's no way to start APs.
The platform, firmware and EFI stubs describe the following hardware:
o 4 CPU Itanium,
o 128 MB RAM within the 4GB address space,
o 64 MB RAM above the 4GB address space.
NOTE: The stubs in the skiloader describe a machine that should in
parts be defined by the simulator. Things like processor interrupt
block and AP wakeup vector cannot be choosen at random because they
require interpretation by the simulator. Currently the simulator is
ignorant of this.
This change introduces an unofficial SSC call SSC_SAL_SET_VECTORS
which is ignored by the simulator.
Tested with: ski (version 0.943 for linux)
I'm not convinced there is anything major wrong with the patch but
them's the rules..
I am using my "David's mentor" hat to revert this as he's
offline for a while.
- remove dead code and fix warnings in pmap_zero_page/zero_page_area
- implement
pmap_clear_reference
pmap_ts_referenced
pmap_page_exists_quick
pmap_remove_all
- align pmap_qenter/qremove closer with i386 code
- fix vm_page locking in pmap_new_thread (from benno)
- add new parameter to pmap_clear_bit to return original
pte value

using the Rhine's internal shift registers which are designed
for the job. This reduces the amount of time we wait around shifting
bits, and seems to work better with some chips.
Also, provide a workaround for some newer cards which report fake PHYs
at multiple addresses. (As more cards are ID'd, I'm sure this part
of the code will have to be expanded to cover more cases.)

than having change_dir() release the vnode lock on success, hold the
lock so that we can use it later when invoking MAC checks and
VOP_ACCESS() in the chroot() code. Update the comment to reflect
this calling convention. Update callers to unlock the vnode
lock. Correct a typo regarding vnode naming in the MAC case that
crept in via the previous patch applied.
cases: we might multiply vrele() a vnode when certain classes of
failures occur. This appears to stem from earlier Giant/file
descriptor lock pushdown and restructuring.
