saving, setting and restoring GP for each function call and
reduces the kernel with ~320KB. There's obviously a performance
benefit as well.
Note that since we generally don't know if calls will be intra or
inter load module when we're compiling kernel modules, -mconstant-gp

Fix the "@gprel relocation against dynamic symbol xxx" linker error.
Variables defined in the link unit and small enough to be put in the
short data section will have a gp-relative access sequence (using the
@gprel relocation). It is invalid to have @gprel relocations in shared
libraries, because they are to be resolved by the static linker and
not the dynamic linker. The -fpic option will cause @ltoff relocations
for @gprel relocations, but the side-effects are untested (if any).
Instead, disable/eliminate the short data section to achieve the same.

Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media

It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)

This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack

Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate

more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further
evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract

After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API
changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo
more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our
(queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a
struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of
kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but
right now there is no defined behaviour for such.

This driver actually works slightly better on -stable than on -current
(the system locks on detach on -current), so it should be MFC'd somewhat
sooner.
This driver currently points out a difficulty in the sound device framework.
The PCM unregister routine is allowed to refuse the detach if the device is
in use. In the case of a USB device, however, this unregistration is much more
mandatory in nature, since the device is *actually* gone when this call is
made. The sound subsystem really should not refuse an unregistration and
should take its own steps to reject further I/O. As a result, if you detach
a USB sound device while it is in use, you can expect a panic shortly
thereafter.
This device cannot currently record audio. Some routines are unwritten as
of yet in uaudio.c to support recording.
This device hangs my -current box on detach. I don't know why. This does
