o Unify <machine/endian.h>'s across all architectures.
o Make bswapXX() functions use a different spelling of u_int16_t and
friends to reduce namespace pollution. The bswapXX() functions
don't actually exist, but we'll probably import these at some
point. Atleast one driver (if_de) depends on bswapXX() for big
endian cases.
o Deprecate byteorder(3) prototypes from <sys/types.h>, these are
now prototyped indirectly in <arpa/inet.h>.
o Deprecate in_addr_t and in_port_t typedefs in <sys/types.h>, these
are now typedef'd in <arpa/inet.h>.
o Change byteorder(3) prototypes to use standards compliant uint32_t

o Document new preferred headers and standards compliance.

as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set. It returns with
preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an
interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user
mode.
- Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we
do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks. This also closes a
problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic
due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks.
- Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(),
clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations
on p_sflag.
- Fix up locking with sched_lock some. In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock
to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting
PS_OWEUPC. In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing
PS_OWEUPC. We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag.
- Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly.

been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.
- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.
