what I have done under loader(8) before booting. This needs to be
revisited.
a language feature that I do not know about. gcc is complaining about
a left shift >= sizeof type, even when shifting a (cast) 64 bit type left
by 43 bits.

* For SMP, drop the high-fp state when a thread is switched away from
so that if another cpu resumes that thread, it doesn't have to play
games with IPI to get ahold of the correct register values.
* Don't call ast() from interrupt() - if we switch, then we will miss
writing cr.eoi which will prevent the current cpu from receiving
interrupts until the current thread is resumed. The call to ast()
happens magically in exception_restore where it is safe.
* Add DDB 'show irq' command to examine interrupt hardware state.
* Use ptc.g instead of ptc.l so that TLB shootdowns are broadcast to the
coherence domain.
* Use smp_rendezvous for pmap_invalidate_all to ensure it happens on all
cpus.
* Dike out a DIAGNOSTIC printf which didn't compile.
* Protect the internals of pmap_install with cpu_critical_enter/exit.
o In i386's <machine/endian.h>, macros have some advantages over
inlines, so change some inlines to macros.
o In i386's <machine/endian.h>, ungarbage collect word_swap_int()
(previously __uint16_swap_uint32), it has some uses on i386's with
PDP endianness.

o Move a comment up in <machine/endian.h> that was accidentially moved
down a few revisions ago.
o Reenable userland's use of optimized inline-asm versions of
byteorder(3) functions.
o Fix ordering of prototypes vs. redefinition of byteorder(3)
functions, so that the non-GCC (libc asm) case has proper
prototypes.
o Add proper prototypes for byteorder(3) functions in <sys/param.h>.
o Prevent redundant duplicate prototypes by making use of the
_BYTEORDER_PROTOTYPED define.
o Move the bswap16(), bswap32(), bswap64() C functions into MD space
for platforms in which asm versions don't exist. This significantly
reduces the complexity of some things at the cost of duplicate code.

* Move the section which manipulates ia64_pal_base to after cninit() so
that we don't risk printing anything before we have a console.
* Don't call ia64_probe_sapics() for a SKI build. This should really
be dependant on ACPICA being present or something.
In order to determine what to page out, the vm_daemon checks
reference bits on all pages belonging to all processes. Unfortunately,
the algorithm used reacted badly with shared pages; each shared page
would be checked once per process sharing it; this caused an O(N^2)
growth of tlb invalidations. The algorithm has been changed so that
each page will be checked only 16 times.
Prior to this change, a fork/sleepbomb of 1300 processes could cause
the vm_daemon to take over 60 seconds to complete, effectively
freezing the system for that time period. With this change
in place, the vm_daemon completes in less than a second. Any system
with hundreds of processes sharing pages should benefit from this change.
Note that the vm_daemon is only run when the system is under extreme
memory pressure. It is likely that many people with loaded systems saw
no symptoms of this problem until they reached the point where swapping
began.
Special thanks go to dillon, peter, and Chuck Cranor, who helped me
get up to speed with vm internals.

device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):
- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).
htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.
Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.
