John Baldwin c7362ff7fb Change the x86 code to allocate IDT vectors on-demand when an interrupt
source is first enabled similar to how intr_event's now allocate ithreads
on-demand.  Previously, we would map IDT vectors 1:1 to IRQs.  Since we
only have 191 available IDT vectors for I/O interrupts, this limited us
to only supporting IRQs 0-190 corresponding to the first 190 I/O APIC
intpins.  On many machines, however, each PCI-X bus has its own APIC even
though it only has 1 or 2 devices, thus, we were reserving between 24 and
32 IRQs just for 1 or 2 devices and thus 24 or 32 IDT vectors.  With this
change, a machine with 100 IRQs but only 5 in use will only use up 5 IDT
vectors.  Also, this change provides an API (apic_alloc_vector() and
apic_free_vector()) that will allow a future MSI interrupt source driver to
request IDT vectors for use by MSI interrupts on x86 machines.

Tested on:	amd64, i386

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
