- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

operates in the common memory mode and use polling mode to control
the status of operations as I don't have any board with interrupt
line routed yet. I'll add the GPIO interrupt driven mode as soon
as I get one.
o Copy kb920x_machdep.c to at91_machdep.c
o Move board_init to new board_kb920x.c
o rename ramsize to at91_ramsize and make it accessible to board_* files.
o Delete files.kb920x. We can do this selection with the new boards.
o Add a stub for the tsc4370 board init, which will be added in
a future commit.
o Add new 'devices' at91_board_kb920x and at91_board_tsc4370. More are
needed and will be added in future commits.
