errno in a register so the problem is really a function of
libc, not the system call.

(calling a __dead2 function such as panic() at the end of a function), the
saved %eip on the stack will actually not be part of the function that
executed a call instruction but instead will be the first instruction of
the next function in the text. This happens with dblfault_handler() and
syscall() for example. Work around this in the one place it matters by
looking at the saved %eip - 1 to determine the calling function when we
check for "magic" frames.

-O2 kernel builds, one should probably add -fno-optimize-sibling-calls

It is semi-promissed by the Release Engineers that when RELENG_6 is
created we go back to -O2.

they both happen before pipe backing allocation occurs. Previously,
a pipe memory shortage would cause a panic due to a KNOTE call
on an uninitialized si_note.

- Introduce the amr_io_lock to control access to command queues, bio queues,
and the hardware.
- Eliminate the taskqueue and do all completion processing in the ithread.
- Assign a static slot number to each command instead of doing a linear
search for free slots each time a command is needed.
- Modify the interrupt handler to more closely match what Linux does, for
safety.
and BBO is BO's backing object. Now, suppose that O and BO are being
collapsed. Furthermore, suppose that BO has been marked dead
(OBJ_DEAD) by vm_object_backing_scan() and that either
vm_object_backing_scan() has been forced to sleep due to encountering
a busy page or vm_object_collapse() has been forced to sleep due to
memory allocation in the swap pager. If vm_object_deallocate() is
then called on BBO and BO is BBO's only shadow object,
vm_object_deallocate() will collapse BO and BBO. In doing so, it adds
a necessary temporary reference to BO. If this collapse also sleeps
and the prior collapse resumes first, the temporary reference will
cause vm_object_collapse to panic with the message "backing_object %p
was somehow re-referenced during collapse!"
Resolve this race by changing vm_object_deallocate() such that it
doesn't collapse BO and BBO if BO is marked dead. Once O and BO are
collapsed, vm_object_collapse() will attempt to collapse O and BBO.
So, vm_object_deallocate() on BBO need do nothing.

Without this fix, when ACLs are set via tunefs(8) on the root file system,
they are removed on boot when 'mount -a' is called, because mount(8)
called for the root file system always add MNT_UPDATE flag and MNT_UPDATE
flag isn't perfect.
Now, one cannot remove ACLs stored in superblock (configured with tunefs(8))
via 'mount -a' nor 'mount -u -o noacls <file system>', but it is still
possible to mount file system which doesn't have ACLs in superblock via
'mount -o acls <file system>' or /etc/fstab's 'acls' option.

calls MiniportQueryInformation(), it will return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.
When this happens, ndis_get_info() will sleep waiting for a completion
event. If two threads call ndis_get_info() and both end up having to
sleep, they will both end up waiting on the same wait channel, which
can cause a panic in sleepq_add() if INVARIANTS are turned on.
Fix this by having ndis_get_info() use a common mutex rather than
using the process mutex with PROC_LOCK(). Also do the same for
ndis_set_info(). Note that Pierre's original patch also made ndis_thsuspend()
use the new mutex, but ndis_thsuspend() shouldn't need this since
it will make each thread that calls it sleep on a unique wait channel.
Also, it occured to me that we probably don't want to enter
MiniportQueryInformation() or MiniportSetInformation() from more
than one thread at any given time, so now we acquire a Windows
spinlock before calling either of them. The Microsoft documentation
says that MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation()
are called at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and previously we would call
KeRaiseIrql() to set the IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL before entering
either routine, but this only guarantees mutual exclusion on
uniprocessor machines. To make it SMP safe, we need to use a real
spinlock. For now, I'm abusing the spinlock embedded in the
NDIS_MINIPORT_BLOCK structure for this purpose. (This may need to be
applied to some of the other routines in kern_ndis.c at a later date.)
Export ntoskrnl_init_lock() (KeInitializeSpinlock()) from subr_ntoskrnl.c
since we need to use in in kern_ndis.c, and since it's technically part
of the Windows kernel DDK API along with the other spinlock routines. Use
it in subr_ndis.c too rather than frobbing the spinlock directly.

per-process state during exit.
- Add notes of concern to Alpha and ia64 about the possible need to drop
fp state in cpu_thread_exit() rather than in cpu_exit() since it is
per-thread state rather than per-process.
