Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

This is going to be used by the Xen clock on Dom0 in order to set the RTC of
the host. The current logic in atrtc_settime is moved to atrtc_set and the
unused device_t parameter is removed from the atrtc_set function call so it
can be safely used by other callers.

This simplifies checking for default resource range for bus_alloc_resource(),
and improves readability.
This is part of, and related to, the migration of rman_res_t from u_long to
uintmax_t.
Discussed with: jhb
Suggested by: marcel
Summary:
Migrate to using the semi-opaque type rman_res_t to specify rman resources. For
now, this is still compatible with u_long.
This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.
Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.
This change has been broken out to facilitate MFC'ing drivers back to 10 without
breaking ABI.

After r269510 the IO APIC and ATPIC initialization is done at the same
order, which means atpic_init can be called before the IO APIC has
been initalized. In that case the ATPIC will take over the interrupt
