to consider the boundary of the parent and pick the minimum of the two, not
the maximum. However, if either is 0 then pick the appropriate one.
This bug was exposed by a recent change to ATA, which should now be fixed by
this change. The alignment and maxsegsz tag attributes likely also need
a similar review in the near future.

The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.
The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.
Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.
Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.
The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.
A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.

the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from

The hardware always gives read access for privilege level 0, which
means that we cannot use the hardware access rights and privilege
level in the PTE to test whether there's a change in protection. So,
we save the original vm_prot_t in the PTE as well.
Add pmap_pte_prot() to set the proper access rights and privilege
level on the PTE given a pmap and the requested protection.
The above allows us to compare the protection in pmap_extract_and_hold()
which was missing. While in pmap_extract_and_hold(), add pmap locking.
While here, clean up most (i.e. all but one) PTE macros we inherited

directly, because we don't leave the kernel via an interrupt return. So,
we need another way to set the single stepping flag.
The way we do this is by enabling the lower-privilege transfer trap, which
gets raised when we drop the privilege level. However, since we're still
running in kernel space (sec), we're not yet done. We clear the lower-
privilege transfer trap, enable the taken-branch trap and continue exiting
the kernel until we branch into user space.
Given the current code, there's a total of two traps this way before
we can raise SIGTRAP.
