prevent the compiler from optimizing assignments into byte-copy
operations which might make access to the individual fields non-atomic.
Use the individual fields throughout, and don't bother locking them with
Giant: it is no longer needed.

statclock based on profhz when profiling is enabled MD, since most platforms
don't use this anyway. This removes the need for statclock_process, whose
only purpose was to subdivide profhz, and gets the profiling clock running
outside of sched_lock on platforms that implement suswintr.
Also changed the interface for starting and stopping the profiling clock to
do just that, instead of changing the rate of statclock, since they can now
be separate.

Tested on: i386, sparc64
point of not even compiling for a very long time.
Any effort spent unbreaking them would be better spent perfecting
the ata drivers for PC98, should any issues remain there.
This mostly consists of functionality to serialize accesses to
the two ATA channels (which can also be used to "fix" certain
PCI based controllers).
Add support for Acard controllers.
Enable the ATA driver in PC98 GENERIC, and add device hints.
Update man page with latest support.
The PC98 core team has kindly provided me with a PC98
machine that made this all possible, thanks to all that
contributed to that effort, without that this would
probably newer have been possible..

sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.
not look like the prerequisites to fill it in properly will be in the tree
for the upcoming release, but it's mostly done, so there is no need for these
to stay around to remind us.
ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.
