I think I've fixed it now, but since nothing in the tree seems to use it,
I'm not sure.
It failed to recognize the PCI bus in a system that had only an
old chip-set (class code 000000) and a Cyclom multiport serial
card on PCI bus 0, but no VGA card or disk or network controller.

- A nonprofiling version of s_lock (called s_lock_np) is used
by mcount.
- When profiling is active, more registers are clobbered in
seemingly simple assembly routines. This means that some
callers needed to save/restore extra registers.
- The stack pointer must have space for a 'fake' return address
in idle, to avoid stack underflow.
noticed some major enhancements available for UP situations. The number
of UP TLB flushes is decreased much more than significantly with these
changes. Since a TLB flush appears to cost minimally approx 80 cycles,
this is a "nice" enhancement, equiv to eliminating between 40 and 160
instructions per TLB flush.
Changes include making sure that kernel threads all use the same PTD,
and eliminate unneeded PTD switches at context switch time.
Wrappered and enabled by the define BETTER_CLOCK (on by default in smpyests.h)
apic_vector.s also contains a small change I (smp) made to eliminate
the double level INT problem. It seems stable, but I haven't the tools
in place to prove it fixes the problem.

workaround. Note that this currently eats up two pages extra in the system;
this could be alleviated by aligning idt correctly, and then only dealing with
that (as opposed to the current method of allocated two pages and copying the
IDT table to that, and then setting that to be the IDT table).

"high resolution" profiling. The available clocks are:
- the i8254 clock
- on non-SMP i586's and i686's: the TSC
- on systems with I586_PMC_GUPROF configured, and PERFMON configured
and available: all the performance counters.
This is unfinshed (there are problems with locking out the PERFMON
device driver, and with losing calibration after switching the clock),
but better than static configuration or writing to kmem.
Changed ifdefs to avoid generating code for non-working option
combinations.
time, but was left at 0. This caused the "can't happen" case in
splz_swi to happen for panics when tsleep() calls splx(safepri)
and there is a SWI_AST pending. This was harmless because the
the error handling happens to be right. Debugging this was tricky
because debugger traps force SWI_AST_MASK on in `cpl'.
there is a natural place to initialize `safepri' in a future commit.
Spinoffs:
- spl0() gets called in the unlikely event that isa is not configured.
- configure() has better control over enabling interrupts.
- it is now less unclear that interrupts aren't actually enabled early.
Rev.1.48 of autoconf.c seems to have done the opposite of what was
intended - moving the isa_configure() call delayed the spl0() side
effect.
Added some comments about the bogons. Removed the splhigh() call since
it is a no-op.
interval [VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS, etext] was used instead of
[btext, etext). Added a comment about this being completely
wrong for LKMs. This only affects interpreting the instructions
after the return to attempt decide the number of args. The
attempt usually fails anyway.
checking was mostly wrong at the boundaries. For the lower limit,
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS was used instead of btext and there was an
off-by-(`size' - 1) error. For the upper limit, &etext was used
instead of etext and there was an off-by-1 error. The bugs were
harmless because `size' is not too large and some memory is mapped
just beyond the ends. We still depend on the former to avoid
having to handle the case where the memory range covers the whole
text section, and on the latter to prevent problems when we map
just beyond an end to allow writing an address range that overlaps
the end.
Fixed placement of a nearby comment.

repeat all the checks.

This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft
from the sources.
I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.
