Remove the cache state logic : right now, it provides more problems than it
helps.
Add helper functions for mapping devices while bootstrapping.
Reorganize the code a bit, and remove dead code.

tree:
- td_standin is (k + a) as it is only touched by either curthread or when
a thread is being created.
- td_upcall is (k + j)
- td_sticks is (k) rather than the earlier (j) note.
- td_uuticks and td_usticks are both (k).
- td_intrval is (j)
- Neither kg_nextupcall or kg_upquantum seem to be locked and that seems
to be on purpose, so mark those as (n).
It can be used to delay mounting root partition to give a chance to GEOM
providers to show up.
Now, when there is no needed provider, vfs_rootmount() function will look
for it every second and if it can't be find in defined time, it'll ask
for root device name (before this change it was done immediately).
This will allow to boot from gmirror device in degraded mode.
Users should move to the new geom_vinum implementation instead.
The refcount logic which is being added to devices to enable safe module
unloading and the buf/vm work also in progress would require a major rework
of the (old)-vinum code to comply with the new semantics.
The actual source files will not be removed until I have coordinated with
the geomvinum people if they need any bits repo-copied etc.
of the number of threads which are inside whatever is behind the
cdevsw for this particular cdev.
Make the device mutex visible through dev_lock() and dev_unlock().
We may want finer granularity later.
Replace spechash_mtx use with dev_lock()/dev_unlock().
A thread must hold mp while calling cv_signal(), cv_broadcast(), or
cv_broadcastpri() even though it isn't passed as an argument.
and is right with this claim.
While here remove a "\" from the macro -> __inline conversion.

in atomic(9), but is API (and ABI) compatible and simply makes sense.
This feature will primarily be used for atomic PTE updates in PMAP/ng.

patch has been verified to work with over eight thousand addresses
assigned to an interface.

panic on hub detach bugs that have been reported. This work around
detaches the device before deleting it. This changes the detach order
from in-order to pre-order. This avoids uhub's deleting the children
after its subdevs has been deleted.
This is only a workaround. This leads to a strange condition in the
device tree where attached devices are children of detached ones. I
really don't know what that's supposed to mean, but does violate my
sense of POLA. Fortunately, the violation is short lived, which is
why I'm going ahead and committing the work around.

multiprocessors. Specifically, the error is conditioning the call to
pmap_invalidate_page() on whether the pmap is active on the current CPU.
This call must be unconditional. Regardless of whether the pmap is active
on the CPU performing _pmap_unwire_pte_hold(), it could be active on another
CPU. For example, a call to pmap_remove_all() by the page daemon could
result in a call to _pmap_unwire_pte_hold() with the pmap inactive on the
current CPU and active on another CPU. In such circumstances, failing to
call pmap_invalidate_page() results in a stale TLB entry on the other CPU
that still maps the now deallocated page table page. What happens next is
typically a mysterious panic in pmap_enter() by the other CPU, either
"pmap_enter: attempted pmap_enter on 4MB page" or "pmap_enter: pte vanished,
va: 0x%lx". Both occur because the former page table page has been recycled
and allocated to a new purpose. Consequently, it no longer contains zeroes.

thread last year.
Many thanks to the engineers at Sandvine for providing clear and concise
information until all of the pieces of the puzzle fell into place and
for testing an earlier patch.

Better to kill all other threads than to panic the system if 2 threads call
execve() at the same time. A better fix will be committed later.
Note that this only affects the case where the execve fails.
