non-device code.
* Re-implement the method dispatch to improve efficiency. The new system
takes about 40ns for a method dispatch on a 300Mhz PII which is only
10ns slower than a direct function call on the same hardware.
This changes the new-bus ABI slightly so make sure you re-compile any
driver modules which you use.

Move B_ORDERED flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ORDERED.
Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they
will be obsoleted once bio structs chain/stack.
Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort.

your feet. The conversion of the "snp" device to a dynamically growing
device driver was done just a few days ago by Brooks Davis! Shame on
me for not finding that PR :(
This is a forced commit of tty_snoop.c to give the submitter proper credit,
as most of the patch submitted is actually exactly the same code (by some
large amount of entropy). Brooks also submitted the change to LINT to
set the example of "snp" usage to not include a number, as that number is
now deprecated, so that is also in this commit.

Also move SHMMAXPGS from $machine/include/vmparam.h as the comments that
went with it were wrong... we don't allocate KVM space for the pages so
that comment is bogus.. The only practical limit is how much physical

useful for REX-5580 series (for PC-AT). But they are included in
`#ifdef PC98' to avoid warnings by unused static functions. If you
try to support REX-5580, please be aware of these functions.

supports indirect pio and bus_at386.h is identical to old bus.h, there
is no functional change in PC-AT's kernels. That is, it cannot cause
performance loss.

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the
buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for
the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size
calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better
comments, less chance of running out of KVA).
The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce.
This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but
it goes a long way

exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

that was a bit too drastic for my liking.
