Not using the pcb also fixed the problem that there is no pcb in
idle(), so we now always get useful register values.

Implement rfork(!RFPROC !RFMEM), which allows a thread to divorce its memory
from the other threads of a group.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFCFDG), which closes all file descriptors, eliminating
possible existing shares with other threads/processes.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFFDG), which divorces the file descriptors for a

Fix the case where a thread does an exec. It is almost nonsense for a thread
to modify the other threads address space by an exec, so we
now automatically divorce the address space before modifying it.

This basically re-fixes what Bruce fixed in rev 1.29 of kern_fork.c,
which was broken again now the child does not execute back up the fork()
calling tree.
Rename the PT* index KSTK* #defines to UMAX*, since we don't have a kernel

space. (!)
Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.
The 8K of memory at the top of the process space is now empty, and unmapped
(and unmappable, it's higher than VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS).
Simplity the pmap code to manage process contexts, we no longer have to
double map the UPAGES, this simplifies and should measuably speed up fork().
The following parts came from John Dyson:
Set PG_G on the UPAGES that are now in kernel context, and invalidate
them when swapping them out.
Move the upages object (upobj) from the vmspace to the proc structure.
Now that the UPAGES (pcb and kernel stack) are out of user space, make
rfork(..RFMEM..) do what was intended by sharing the vmspace
entirely via reference counting rather than simply inheriting the mappings.
convenient and makes life difficult for my next commit. We still need
an i386tss to point to for the tss slot in the gdt, so we use a common
tss shared between all processes.
Note that this is going to break debugging until this series of commits
is finished. core dumps will change again too. :-( we really need
a more modern core dump format that doesn't depend on the pcb/upages.
This change makes VM86 mode harder, but the following commits will remove
a lot of constraints for the VM86 system, including the possibility of
extending the pcb for an IO port map etc.

Use the name argument almost the same in all LKM types. Maintain

The bug was primarily in procfs_mem, but the mistake likely happened
due to the lack of vm system support for the operation. I added
better support for selective marking of page dirty flags so that
vm_map_pageable(wiring) will not cause this problem again.
The code in procfs_mem is now less bogus (but maybe still a little
so.)
selection loop was merged with the poll_for_work loop. We cannot assume
that the SCB for the selection timeout is the current SCB. Instead we
must look at the SCB at the head of the waiting for selection list.
This fixes part of a problem reported by David Malone, but does not explain
why he was getting selection timeouts in the first place.

Bump the timeout for an "ordered tag" recovery action from 1 to 5 seconds.
Remove the multiple timeout panic. Its very easy to get into a situation
where a timedout command will time out a second time even though the
recovery code is working fine. A good example is:
1) Command times out during recovery
2) reset the timeout for the command
3) Recovery actions complete and all transactions are requeued
4) second timeout fires off which puts us back into recovery bogusly
5) another transaction that timedout once during the first recovery action
times out causing the panic.
In essence, the correct solution to the problem is to put every transaction
back up into the work queue and have their timeout handling done in the same
way that all commands are handled. The CAM layer makes this easy, so it
will have to wait until then.
either by looking it up in the array of pending, per target, untagged
transactions, or by using the tag value passed in during the identify. The
old code only direct indexed for tagged transactions. This makes the
"findSCB" routine only necessary when SCB paging is enabled, so appropriately
conditionalize it. This greatly simplifies the non SCB paging code flow.
