- If possible, context switch to the thread directly in sched_ithd(),
rather than triggering a delayed ast reschedule.
- Disable interrupts while restoring fpu state in the trap handler,
in order to ensure that we are not preempted in the middle, which
could cause migration to another cpu.

* Optimise the return path for syscalls so that they only restore a minimal
set of registers instead of performing a full exception_return.
A new flag in the trapframe indicates that the frame only holds partial
state. When it is necessary to perform a full state restore (e.g. after an
execve or signal), the flag is cleared to force a full restore.
Turn off semaphores. Nobody else implements them, and there is lots of
AML out there which does totally absurd things with them, meaning that
if we try to do the right thing we are guaranteed to fail.
Use acpi_EvaluateInteger where possible.
Use FuncName rather than &FuncName when passing function addresses.
Don't evaluate the _REG method when we attach to an address space -
AcpiInstallAddressSpaceHandler does it for us.

Use acpi_EvaluateInteger instead of doing things the hard way where

Use this support in the ethernet and sample nodes.
Add some more abstraction on the 'item's so that node and

Make pppoe type dependent on ethernet type.
Clean up node shutdown a little.

Fix small ref-counting bug.

incompletely converting simplelocks to mutexes (COM_LOCK() is supposed
to hide the SMP locking internals, but it now depends on mutex interfaces
being visible).
filesystem softdep_process_worklist() is called in a loop until it indicates
that no dependancies remain, but the determination of that fact depends on
there only being one softdep_process_worklist() instance running. It was
possible for the syncer to also be running softdep_process_worklist()
and the pre-existing checks in the code to prevent this were not sufficient
to prevent the race. This patch solves the problem.

- Add a note about the special locking semantics used for members such as
p_cred that are read by multiple processes but only written to by the
current process.
- Change p_upages_obj's locking key to note that it is created at fork
and left alone afterwards (the actual pointer, not what it points to.)
- Mark p_intr_nesting_level as being implicitly locked since only curproc
accesses it.

valid) if BPF is missing.
The netgraph_bpf node forced bpf to be present, reflect that in the
options.
Stop doing a 'count bpf' - we provide stubs.
Since a handful of drivers still refer to "bpf.h", provide a more accurate
indication that the API is present always. (eg: netinet6)
With this flag set malloc() will panic if memory allocation failed.
This usable only in critical places where failed allocation is fatal.
