sv_prepsyscall is unused.
sv_sigsize and sv_sigtbl translate signal number from the FreeBSD
namespace into the ABI domain. It is only utilized on i386 for iBCS2
binaries. The issue with this approach is that signals for iBCS2 were
delivered with the FreeBSD signal frame layout, which does not follow
iBCS2. The same note is true for any other potential user if
sv_sigtbl. In other words, if ABI needs signal number translation, it
really needs custom sv_sendsig method instead.

ABIs which cannot share sysentvec.
Make the timekeep_push_vdso() tick callback to the timekeep structures
instead of sysentvecs. If several sysentvec share the vdso_sv_tk
structure, we would update the userspace data several times on each
tick, without the change.
Only allocate vdso_sv_tk in the exec_sysvec_init() sysinit when
sysentvec is marked with the new SV_TIMEKEEP flag. This saves
allocation and update of unneeded vdso_sv_tk for ABIs which do not
provide userspace gettimeofday yet, which are PowerPCs arches right
now.
Make vdso_sv_tk allocator public, namely split out and export
alloc_sv_tk() and alloc_sv_tk_compat32(). ABIs which share timekeep
data now can allocate it manually and share as appropriate.

certain kernel structures for use by debuggers. This mostly aids
in examining cores from a kernel without debug symbols as a debugger
can infer these values if debug symbols are available.
One set of variables describes the layout of 'struct linker_file' to
walk the list of loaded kernel modules.
A second set of variables describes the layout of 'struct proc' and
'struct thread' to walk the list of processes in the kernel and the
threads in each process.
The 'pcb_size' variable is used to index into the stoppcbs[] array.
The 'vm_maxuser_address' is used to distinguish kernel virtual addresses
from user addresses. This doesn't have to be perfect, and
'vm_maxuser_address' is a cheap and simple way to differentiate kernel
pointers from simple values like TIDs and PIDs.
While here, annotate the fields in struct pcb used by kgdb on amd64
and i386 to note that their ABI should be preserved. Annotations for
other platforms will be added in the future.

* __xchg_dummy
* __xg
* __xchg
* atomic_t
* atomic_inc

The functions/variables/types unused in xen-os.h can be dropped and there

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.
List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles

- sys/xen/xen_intr.h: evtchn_port_t is already defined in the headers so
drop it.
- {amd64,i386}/include/intr_machdep.h: NR_EVENT_CHANNELS now depends on
xen/interface/event_channel.h, so include it.
- {amd64,i386}/{amd64,i386}/support.S: It's not neccessary to include

- dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c: The typedef for blkif_request_segmenthas

linkers no longer raise an error when undefined weak symbols are
found, but relocate as if the symbol value was 0. Note that we do not
repeat the mistake of userspace dynamic linker of making the symbol
lookup prefer non-weak symbol definition over the weak one, if both
are available. In fact, kernel linker uses the first definition
found, and ignores duplicates.
Signature of the elf_lookup() and elf_obj_lookup() functions changed
to split result/error code and the symbol address returned.
Otherwise, it is impossible to return zero address as the symbol
value, to MD relocation code. This explains the mechanical changes in
elf_machdep.c sources.

This change also modifies the kern.proc.kstack sysctl to use this function,

frame buffers and memory mapped UARTs.
1. Delay calling cninit() until after pmap_bootstrap(). This makes
sure we have PMAP initialized enough to add translations. Keep
kdb_init() after cninit() so that we have console when we need
to break into the debugger on boot.
2. Unfortunately, the ATPIC code had be moved as well so as to
avoid a spurious trap #30. The reason for which is not known
at this time.
3. In pmap_mapdev_attr(), when we need to map a device prior to the
VM system being initialized, use virtual_avail as the KVA to map
the device at. In particular, avoid using the direct map on amd64
because we can't demote by virtue of not being able to allocate
yet. Keep track of the translation.
Re-use the translation after the VM has been initialized to not
waste KVA and to satisfy the assumption in uart(4) that the handle
returned for the low-level console is the same as later returned
when the device is probed and attached.
4. In pmap_unmapdev() remove the mapping from the table when called
pre-init. Otherwise keep the mapping. During bus probe and attach
device resources are mapped and unmapped multiple times, which
would have us destroy the mapping used by the low-level console.
5. In pmap_init(), set pmap_initialized to signal that we're not
pre-init anymore. On amd64, bring the direct map in sync with the
translations created at that time.
6. Implement bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap() for real: when
the tag corresponds to memory space, call the corresponding
pmap_mapdev() and pmap_unmapdev() functions to construct and
actual handle.
7. In efifb.c and vt_vga.c, remove the crutches and hacks and simply
call pmap_mapdev_attr() or bus_space_map() as desired.
Notes:
1. uart(4) already used bus_space_map() during low-level console
setup but since serial ports have traditionally been I/O port
based, the lack of a proper implementation for said function
was not a problem. It has always supported memory mapped UARTs
for low-level consoles by setting hw.uart.console accordingly.
2. The use of the direct map on amd64 without setting caching
attributes has been a bigger problem than previously thought.
This change has the fortunate (and unexpected) side-effect of
fixing various EFI frame buffer problems (though not all).

The i386 and amd64 DDB stack unwinders contain code to detect and handle

code was accidentally unused however, since db_backtrace() was never called
with a non-NULL trap frame. This change fixes that.
Also remove get_rsp() from the amd64 code. It appears to have come from
i386, which needs to take into account whether the exception triggered a
CPL switch, since SS:ESP is only pushed onto the stack if so. On amd64,
SS:RSP is pushed regardless, so get_rsp() was doing the wrong thing for
kernel-mode exceptions. As a result, we can also remove custom print
