builds had been succeeding if run serially but could fail if run in
parallel because the bge module build might start before ofw_bus_if.h
got created as part of the mainline kernel build.

to the build.
This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

caches with data caches after writing to memory. This typically
is required to make breakpoints work on ia64 and powerpc. For
those architectures the function is implemented.
This patch fixes places where they should be called atomically changing
their locking requirements (both assume per-proc spinlock held) and
introducing rufetchcalc which wrappers both calls to be performed in
atomic way.

the way to simplify the entire SYN options handling quite a bit.

- Unatomicity of thread_exiit() in the exit1() operations
This patch addresses these problems allocating p_fd as part of the
process and modifying the way it is accessed.
A small chunk of this patch, resolves a race about p_state in kern_wait(),
since we have to be sure about the zombif-ing process.

a timer issues a shutdown and a simultaneous close on the socket
happens. This race condition is inherent in the current socket/
inpcb life cycle system but can be handled well.

- Reorder send failed to be in correct order.
- Fixed calulation of init-ack to be right off
mbuf lengths instead of the precalculated value. This
will fix one 64 bit platform issue.
error doing so. It seems an increasing number of phones have this
quirk, and we're not keeping up. There appears to be nothing bad that
happens for non-quirked phones.
Minor cleanups:
o prefer device_printf over printf
o kill devinfo stuff
o minor other preening.
