Change default cache line size on ia64, sparc64, and sun4v to 128
bytes, as this was what rtld-elf was already using on those
platforms. [2]

Introduce pmap_try_insert_pv_entry(), a function that conditionally
creates a pv entry if the number of entries is below the high water mark
for pv entries.
Introduce pmap_enter_quick_locked() and use it to reimplement
pmap_enter_object(). The old implementation was broken. For example,
it could block while holding a mutex lock.
Change pmap_enter_quick_locked() to fail rather than wait if it is
unable to allocate a page table page. This prevents a race between
pmap_enter_object() and the page daemon. Specifically, an inactive
page that is a successor to the page that was given to
pmap_enter_quick_locked() might become a cache page while
pmap_enter_quick_locked() waits and later pmap_enter_object() maps
the cache page violating the invariant that cache pages are never
mapped. Similarly, change
pmap_enter_quick_locked() to call pmap_try_insert_pv_entry() rather
than pmap_insert_entry(). Generally speaking,
pmap_enter_quick_locked() is used to create speculative mappings. So,
it should not try hard to allocate memory if free memory is scarce.

CACHE_LINE_SIZE constant. These constants are intended to
over-estimate the cache line size, and be used at compile-time

available.
Defaults for all architectures are 64 bytes, except powerpc
where it is 128 bytes (used on G5 systems).

1) Move the new field (brand_note) to the end of the Brandinfo structure.
2) Add a new flag BI_BRAND_NOTE that indicates that the brand_note pointer
is valid.
3) Use the brand_note field if the flag BI_BRAND_NOTE is set and as old
modules won't have the flag set, so the new field brand_note would be
ignored.

module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
