Without this patch, an SA_SIGINFO style handler can be installed by a linux
app, but if the handler accesses its sip argument, it will get a garbage
pointer and likely segfault.
We currently supply a valid pointer, but its contents are mainly
garbage. Filling this in properly is future work.

Doug really came up with the fix, I'm just the monkey typing. Doug says:
The alpha can only support 64k of globals with $gp pointing at
base+32k so that the code can use 16bit signed offsets from $gp to
access it. .... it is possible to have multiple .got subsections
and the linker handles this with the relocations for 'ldgp' pseudo
instructions. [Without this patch] the code in exception.s has been
linked to use a different gp from locore.s (where pal_kgp is set).

return through doreti to handle ast's. This is necessary for the
clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
during the clock interrupt. Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways. It was
broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone. It's only use
was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
mutex. Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().

Submitted by: cp (concept of delaying signals until ast())
- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

to accomodate the changes.
Here's a list of things that have changed (I may have left out a few); for a
relatively complete list, see http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal
* Remove old (once useful) mcluster code for MCLBYTES > PAGE_SIZE which
nobody uses anymore. It was great while it lasted, but now we're moving
onto bigger and better things (Approved by: wollman).
* Practically re-wrote the allocation macros in sys/sys/mbuf.h to accomodate
new allocations which grab the necessary lock.
* Make sure that necessary mbstat variables are manipulated with
corresponding atomic() routines.
* Changed the "wait" routines, cleaned it up, made one routine that does
the job.
* Generalized MWAKEUP() macro. Got rid of m_retry and m_retryhdr, as they
are now included in the generalized "wait" routines.
* Sleep routines now use msleep().
* Free lists have locks.
* etc... probably other stuff I'm missing...
Things to look out for and work on later:
* find a better way to (dynamically) adjust EXT_COUNTERS
* move necessity to recurse on a lock from drain routines by providing
lock-free lower-level version of MFREE() (and possibly m_free()?).
* checkout include of mutex.h in sys/sys/mbuf.h - probably violating
general philosophy here.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
newbus for referencing device interrupt handlers.
- Move the 'struct intrec' type which describes interrupt sources into
sys/interrupt.h instead of making it just be a x86 structure.
- Don't create 'ithd' and 'intrec' typedefs, instead, just use 'struct ithd'
and 'struct intrec'
- Move the code to translate new-bus interrupt flags into an interrupt thread
priority out of the x86 nexus code and into a MI ithread_priority()
function in sys/kern/kern_intr.c.
- Remove now-uneeded x86-specific headers from sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c and
sys/pci/pci_compat.c.
re-enable interrupts when actually releasing the lock.
- Bring across some fixes to propagate_priority from the x86 code.
(It still doesn't work properly, however.)
- Use the SMTX state when putting a process that blocks on a mutex to sleep.
- Use mi_switch instead of cpu_switch so that accounting works properly as
well as other things.
- Bring across DDB protection of the spinlock timeout panic which is useful
in a multiple CPU system when 1 CPU enters the debugger holding the
sched_lock so that the other CPU doesn't panic as well resulting in all
sorts of fun things.
- Bring across various other small changes in format strings and comments
to sync up with the x86 code.
fixes a serious problem with the previous version where an input could
have been placed in the same register as an output which would stop
the inline from working properly.
* Redo atomic_{set,clear,add,subtract}_{32,64} as inlines since the code
sequence is shorter than the call sequence to the code in atomic.s.
I will remove the functions from atomic.s after a grace period to allow
people to rebuild kernel modules.
