data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.
The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.

in the mptable. The way this works is that we determine if the system
has hyperthreading and how many logical CPU's should be in each physical
CPU by using the information returned by cpuid. During the first pass of
the mptable, we build a bitmask of the APIC IDs of the CPUs listed in the
mptable. We then scan that bitmask to see if the CPUs are already listed
by the mptable, or if there are any APIC IDs already in use that would
conflict with the APIC IDs of the logical CPUs. If that test succeeds,
then we fixup the count of application processors. Later on during the
second pass of the mptable we create fake processor entries for logical
CPUs and add them to the system.
We only need this type of fixup hack when using the mptable to enumerate
CPUs. The ACPI MADT table properly enumerates all logical CPUs.

n this case the owner remains the same and the KSE will revert to the
owner when the other work has been completed.
