instructs the driver to avoid using Keyboard Interface Test command.
This command causes problems with some non-compliant hardware, resulting
in machine being abruptly powered down early in the boot process.
Particularly it's known that HP ZV5000 and Compaq R3000Z notebooks
are affected by this problem.
Due to popularity of those models this patch is good MFC5.4 candidate.

- newbus plumbing. Each atapicam bus is a child off of a parent ata channel
bus. This is somewhat of a hack, but allows the ata core to be completely
free of atapicam knowledge.
- No more global lists of softc's and no more groping around in internal ata
structures on each command.
- Giant-free operation of the completion handler.
- Per-bus mutex for protecting the busy list and synchronizing detach.
- Lots of streamlining and dead code elimination, better adherence to the
CAM locking protocol.
This feature still requires that the appropriate atapi-* driver be present
for each atapi device that you want to talk to (i.e. atapi-cd for cdroms).
It does work both compiled into the kernel and as a loadable module.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64, powerpc, arm, possibly more

This is necessary because the ACPI 3.0 spec requires driver support be
advertised before running any methods. For now, the flags are as specified
in for the _PDC and _OSC methods but we can support private flags as needed.
Add an implementation of this for acpi_cpu. It checks all its children
(notably cpufreq drivers) and calls the _PDC method to report the results.

- Allow vm_mmap() to map device memory via cdev objects in addition to
vnodes and anonymous memory. Note that mmaping a cdev directly does not
currently perform any MAC checks like mapping a vnode does.
- Unbreak the DRM getbufs ioctl by having it call vm_mmap() directly on the
cdev the ioctl is acting on rather than trying to find a suitable vnode
to map from.
