This KPI may in principle be used to create kernel mappings, in which
case we certainly should not be setting PG_U. In any case, PG_U must be
set on all layers in the page tables to grant user mode access, and we
were only setting it on leaf entries. Thus, this change should have no
functional impact.

With the introduction of M_EXEC support for kmem_malloc(), some kernel
mappings start having NX bit set in the paging structures early, for
PAE kernels on machines with NX support, i.e. practically on all
machines. In particular, AP trampoline and initialization needs to
access pages which translations has NX bit set, before initializecpu()
is called.
Check for CPUID NX feature and enable EFER.NXE before we enable paging
in mp boot trampoline. This allows the CPU to use the kernel page
table instead of generating page fault due to reserved bit set.

Add a new 'debugger_on_trap' knob separate from 'debugger_on_panic'
and make the calls to kdb_trap() in MD fatal trap handlers prior to
calling panic() conditional on this new knob instead of
'debugger_on_panic'. Disable the new knob by default. Developers who
wish to recover from a fatal fault by adjusting saved register state
and retrying the faulting instruction can still do so by enabling the
new knob. However, for the more common case this makes the user
experience for panics due to a fatal fault match the user experience
for other panics, e.g. 'c' in DDB will generate a crash dump and
reboot the system rather than being stuck in an infinite loop of fatal
fault messages and DDB prompts.

Remove malloc_domain(9) and most other _domain KPIs added in r327900.
The new functions allow the caller to specify a general NUMA domain
selection policy, rather than specifically requesting an allocation from
a specific domain. The latter policy tends to interact poorly with
M_WAITOK, resulting in situations where a caller is blocked indefinitely
because the specified domain is depleted. Most existing consumers of
the _domain KPIs are converted to instead use a DOMAINSET_PREF() policy,
in which we fall back to other domains to satisfy the allocation
request.
This change also defines a set of DOMAINSET_FIXED() policies, which
only permit allocations from the specified domain.

With lld 7.0.0, a rather nasty problem in our kernel linker script came
to light. We use quite a lot of so-called "orphan" sections, e.g.
sections which are not explicitly named in the linker script. Mainly,
these are the linker sets (such as set_sysinit_set).
Note that the placement of these orphan sections is not very well
defined. Usually, any read-only orphan sections get placed after the
last read-only section from the linker script, and similarly for the
read/write variants.
In our linker scripts, there are also symbol assignments like _etext,
_edata, and __bss_start, which are used in various places to refer to
the start or end addresses of sections.
However, some of these symbol assignments are interspersed with output
section descriptions. While the linker will guarantee that a symbol
assignment after some section will stay after that section, there is no
guarantee that an orphan section cannot be inserted just before it.
Take for example the following script:
SECTIONS
{
.data : { *(.data) }
__bss_start = .;
.bss : { *(.bss) }
}
If an orphan section (like set_sysinit_set) is now inserted just after
the __bss_start assignment, __bss_start will actually point to the start
of that orphan section, *not* to the start of the .bss section.
Unfortunately, something like this happened with our i386 kernel linker
script, and since sys/i386/i386/locore.s tries to zero .bss, it ended up
zeroing all the linker sets too, leading to a crash very soon after the
<--BOOT--> message.
To fix this, move the __bss_start symbol assignment *into* the .bss
section description, so there is no way a linker can then insert orphan
sections at that point. Also add a corresponding __bss_end symbol.
In addition, change sys/i386/i386/locore.s, so it clears from
__bss_start to __bss_end, instead of assuming that _edata is just
before .bss (which may not be true), and that _end is just after _bss
(which also may not be true).
This allows an i386 kernel linked with lld 7.0.0 to boot successfully.

This reverts part of r333368. The attempt to clear DR6 was occuring
too soon as trapsignal() does not pause to let the debugger notice the
SIGTRAP and query DR6. The signal exchange does not occur until much
later during ast(). As a result, GDB was no longer recognizing
hardware breakpoints and watchpoints on x86.
In addition, any userland programs that want to inspect DR6 in a
SIGTRAP handler don't have a way to do this if we clear DR6 in the
exception handler.
Instead of relying on the kernel to clear DR6, debuggers will have to
explicitly clear it after a trace trap (which they needed to do on
older kernels anyway).
