The main differences with the currently implemented method are:
- Requires a local APIC EOI, since it doesn't bypass the local APIC
as the previous method used to do.
- Can be set to use different IDT vectors on each vCPU. Note that
FreeBSD doesn't make use of this feature since the event channel
IDT vector is reserved system wide.
Note that the old method of setting the event channel upcall is
not removed, and will be used as a fallback if this newly introduced
method is not available.

Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.
Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.
Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.
i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.
The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.

The need to use libc malloc(3) from some places in libthr always
caused issues. For instance, per-thread key allocation was switched to
use plain mmap(2) to get storage, because some third party mallocs
used keys for implementation of calloc(3).
Even more important, libthr calls calloc(3) during initialization of
pthread mutexes, and jemalloc uses pthread mutexes. Jemalloc provides
some way to both postpone the initialization, and to make
initialization to use specialized allocator, but this is very fragile
and often breaks. See the referenced PR for another example.
Add the small malloc implementation used by rtld, to libthr. Use it in
thr_spec.c and for mutexes initialization. This avoids the issues with
mutual dependencies between malloc and libthr in principle. The
drawback is that some more allocations are not interceptable for
alternate malloc implementations. There should be not too much memory
use from this allocator, and the alternative, direct use of mmap(2) is
obviously worse.

This fixes BIO_ORDERED semantics while also improving performance by:
- sleeping also before BIO_ORDERED bio, as defined, not only after;
- not queueing BIO_ORDERED bio to taskqueue if no other bios running;
- waking up sleeping taskqueue explicitly rather then rely on polling.
On Samsung SSD 970 PRO this shows sync write latency, measured with
`diskinfo -wS`, reduction from ~2ms to ~1.1ms by not sleeping without
reason till next HZ tick.
On the same device ZFS pool with 8 ZVOLs synchronously writing 4KB blocks
shows ~950 IOPS instead of ~750 IOPS before. I suspect ZFS does not need
BIO_ORDERED on BIO_FLUSH at all, but that will be next question.

This is a wild guess as to why bectl tests failed once upon a time in CI,
given no apparent way to see a transcript of cleanup routines with Kyua. The
bectl tests construct a new, clean zpool for every test. The failure
indicated was because of a mount that was leftover from a previous test, but
the previous test had succeeded so it's not clear how the mount remained
leftover unless the `zpool get health ${pool}` had somehow failed.

January 2018 changes -r327723 and -r327821. The softdep_bp_to_mp()
function failed to include VFIFO as one of the valid cases.
Although fifo's do not allocate blocks in the filesystem, they will
allocate blocks if they use extended attributes (such as ACLs). Thus,
softdep_bp_to_mp() needs to return a non-NULL mount pointer when
presented with a fifo vnode so that the soft updates write complete
will properly process the soft updates structures associated with the
extended attribute blocks. It was the failure to process these soft
updates structures, thus leaving them hanging off the buffer, which
lead to the "panic: softdep_deallocate_dependencies: dangling deps"
when trying to clean up the buffer after it was written.

When performing a non-status operation on a single interface, it is
not necessary for ifconfig to build a list of all addresses in the
system, sort them, then iterate through them looking for the entry for
the single interface of interest. Doing so becomes increasingly
expensive as the number of interfaces in the system grows (e.g., in a
system with 1000+ vlan(4) interfaces).

corresponding bitmap before adding an mbuf has actually succeeded.
Previously, m_gethdr(M_NOWAIT, ...) failing caused a "hole" in the
RX ring but not in its bitmap. One implication of such a hole was
that in a subsequent call to _iflib_fl_refill() with the RX buffer
accounting still indicating another reclaimable buffer, bit_ffc(3)
nevertheless returned -1 in frag_idx which in turn caused havoc
when used as an index. Thus, additionally assert that frag_idx is
0 or greater.
Another possible consequence of a hole in the RX ring was a NULL-
dereference when trying to use the unallocated mbuf, for example
in iflib_rxd_pkt_get().
While at it, make the variable declarations in _iflib_fl_refill()
conform to style(9) and remove redundant checks already performed
by bit_ffc{,_at}(3).
- In iflib_queues_alloc(), don't pass redundant M_ZERO to bit_alloc(3).

The buffer allocated in read_chat() could be 1 element too short, if the
chatstr parameter passed in is 1 or 3 charachters long (e.g. "a" or "a b").
The allocation of the pointer array does not account for the terminating
NULL pointer in that case.
Overlapping source and destination strings are undefined in strcpy().
Instead of moving a string to the left by one character just increment the
char pointer before it is assigned to the results array.
