maxsockets limit, not maxfiles limit. The question remains why those
limits are handled differently (with error code for maxfiles but with
sleep for maxsokets), but those would be addressed in a separate commit
if necessary.

before doing the very expensive cursig() and related locking. NEEDSIGCHK
is updated whenever our signal mask change or when a signal is delivered and
should be sufficient to avoid the more expensive tests. This eliminates
another source of PROC_LOCK contention in multithreaded programs.
- In the last revision the code was changed to use maxfilesperproc rather than
the per-process file limit to restrict the size of the poll array. This
eliminates a significant source of process lock contention in multithreaded
programs and is cheaper. This had been committed with the wrong batch of
changes.
a simple (wmesg, count) tuple in a hash to keep track of how many times
we sleep at each wait message. We hash on message and not channel. No
line number information is given as typically wait messages are not used in
more than one place. Identical strings defined at different addresses will
show up with seperate counters.
- Use debug.sleepq.enable to enable, .reset to reset, and .stats dumps stats.
- Do an unsynchronized check in sleepq_switch() prior to switching before
calling sleepq_profile() which uses a global lock to synchronize the hash.
Only sleeps which actually cause a context switch are counted.

discovered a new proc in the chain.
- Increment i and check for maxlockdepth once per matching process not
once per thread. This didn't properly terminate the loop before.
- Fix a bug which has existed potentially since rev 1.1. waitblock->lf_next
can be NULL when a thread has been woken-up but not yet scheduled. Check
for this condition rather than blindly dereferencing.

requiring the per-process spinlock to only requiring the process lock.
- Reflect these changes in the proc.h documentation and consumers throughout
the kernel. This is a substantial reduction in locking cost for these
fields and was made possible by recent changes to threading support.
2's compliment.
The 2's compliment transform is done so a "count down" sampling interval
can be converted into a "count up" PMC value. a 2's complimented 'count down'
value is written to the PMC counter; then the read-back counter is reverted
via another 2's compliment.

vm/vm_contig.c, vm/vm_page.c, and vm/vm_pageq.c. Today, vm/vm_pageq.c
has withered to the point that it contains only four short functions,
two of which are only used by vm/vm_page.c. Since I can't foresee any
reason for vm/vm_pageq.c to grow, it is time to fold the remaining
contents of vm/vm_pageq.c back into vm/vm_page.c.
Add some comments. Rename one of the functions, vm_pageq_enqueue(),
that is now static within vm/vm_page.c to vm_page_enqueue().
Eliminate PQ_MAXCOUNT as it no longer serves any purpose.
- Always include the ie_disable and ie_eoi methods in 'struct intr_event'
and collapse down to one intr_event_create() routine. The disable and
eoi hooks simply aren't used currently in the !INTR_FILTER case.
- Expand 'disab' to 'disable' in a few places.
- Use function casts for arm and i386:intr_eoi_src() instead of wrapper
routines since to trim one extra indirection.

drivers.
In the giant_XXX wrappers for the device methods of the D_NEEDGIANT
drivers, do not dereference the cdev->si_devsw. It is racing with
the destroy_devl() clearing of the si_devsw. Instead, use the
dev_refthread() and return ENXIO for the destroyed device. [1]
The check for the D_INIT in the prep_cdevsw() was not synchronized with
the call of the fini_cdevsw() in destroy_devl(), that under rapid device
creation/destruction may result in the use of uninitialized cdevsw [2].
Change the protocol for the prep_cdevsw(), requiring it to be called
under dev_mtx, where the check for D_INIT is done.
Do not free the memory allocated for the gianttrick cdevsw while holding
the dev_mtx, put it into the free list to be freed later. Reuse the
d_gianttrick pointer to keep the size and layout of the struct cdevsw
(requested by phk). Free the memory in the dev_unlock_and_free(), and do
all the free after the dev_mtx is dropped (suggested by jhb).

for a configurable number of seconds, spin the disk down. Spin it back
up on the next request.
Notice that the timeout is only armed by a request, so to spin down a
disk you may have to do:
atacontrol spindown ad10 5
dd if=/dev/ad10 of=/dev/null count=1
To disable spindown, set timeout to zero:
atacontrol spindown ad10 0
In order to debug any trouble caused, this code is somewhat noisy on the
console.
Enabling spindown on a disk containing / or /var/log/messages is not
going to do anything sensible.
Spinning a disk up and down all the time will wear it out, use sensibly.

tell GDB that a BookE processor is targeted and which will
result in GDB using a different register definition. In order
to support remote GDB for BookE, we need the GDB stub in the
kernel look for that section and use the BookE definitions.
