structure. This makes it possible to pre-allocate PTEs for the kernel,
which is necessary for a reliable implementation of pmap_kenter(). This
also avoids wasting space (about 48 bytes per page) for kernel mappings
and user mappings of memory-mapped devices.
This also fixes a bug with the previous version where the implementation
required the pv_entry structure to be physically contiguous but did not
enforce this (the structure size was not a power of two). This meant
that the pv_entry free list was quickly corrupted as soon as the system
was even mildly loaded.
the existence of the __gnuc_va_list type[*] because our compiler is GCC.
[*] __gnuc_va_list is defined in the GCC ginclude/stdarg.h replacement

- Only release Giant in trap() if we locked it, otherwise we could release
Giant in a kernel trap if we didn't get it for a page fault and the
previous frame had grabbed the lock.
- Only get Giant for !MP safe syscalls.
be set. We need to check isr.w before isr.r so that we can correctly
handle a cmpxchg to a copy-on-write page.
This fixes the hang-after-fork problem for dynamically linked programs.
C calling conventions. This allows crt1.c to be written nearly without
any inline assembler.
* Initialise cpu_model[] so that the hw.model sysctl works properly.
Until now, the ptrace syscall was implemented as a wrapper that called
various functions in procfs depending on which ptrace operation was
requested. Most of these functions were themselves wrappers around
procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs(), with only some extra error checks,
which weren't necessary in the ptrace case anyway.
This commit moves procfs_rwmem() from procfs_mem.c into sys_process.c
(renaming it to proc_rwmem() in the process), and implements ptrace()
directly in terms of procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs() instead of
having it fake up a struct uio and then call procfs_do{,db,fp}regs().
It also moves the prototypes for procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs()
and proc_rwmem() from proc.h to ptrace.h, and marks all procfs files
except procfs_machdep.c as "optional procfs" instead of "standard".
