* Switch to proc0's stack and backing store before calling ia64_init
so that we don't rely on the loader's stack at all.
* Change kernel entry point name from locorestart to __start.
the cwd is looked up inside the kernel. The native getcwd() in libc
handles this in userland if __getcwd() fails.

level implementation stuff out of machine/globaldata.h to avoid exposing
UPAGES to lots more places. The end result is that we can double
the kernel stack size with 'options UPAGES=4' etc.
This is mainly being done for the benefit of a MFC to RELENG_4 at some
point. -current doesn't really need this so much since each interrupt
runs on its own kstack.
then one can restart from a panic by resetting the panicstr variable to
NULL. This commit conditionalizes the previously committed functionality
on this variable. It also removes the __dead2 attribute from the panic()
function so that when one continues from a panic() the behavior will
be predictable.
information. The default limits only effect machines with > 1GB of ram
and can be overriden with two new kernel conf variables VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX
and VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX, or with loader variables kern.maxswzone and
kern.maxbcache. This has the effect of leaving more KVM available for
sizing NMBCLUSTERS and 'maxusers' and should avoid tripups where a sysad
adds memory to a machine and then sees the kernel panic on boot due to
running out of KVM.
Also change the default swap-meta auto-sizing calculation to allocate half
of what it was previously allocating. The prior defaults were way too high.
Note that we cannot afford to run out of swap-meta structures so we still
stay somewhat conservative here.

reported as being an absolute path to the "shared library", at least
it's not really a relative path.

sure that it is going to get us much for some time.

identically to kernel debugging support, right down to poor
choice of make variable names.
