This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

The kernel with USERCONFIG_BOOT and VISUAL_USERCONFIG option presents
the user the kernel configuration menu upon boot.
The user can navigate the menu with cursor keys. I think it would be
nice if the user can navigate and select a menu item with regular keys
as well, so that the user who is using a serial console which is not
so capable of esc sequences still can choose a menu item.
With the following patch we can select an item by typing an item
number, 1, 2, or 3, or mnemonic `s' to skip UserConfig, 'v' to enter
the visual mode, and `c' to start the CLI mode. `p', `u', `n', and `d'
will move cursor up and down.

cost since it is only done in cpu_switch(), not for every exception.
The extra state is kept in the pcb, and handled much like the npx state,
with similar deficiencies (the state is not preserved across signal
handlers, and error handling loses state).
that I snuck in to our GDB last year. This allows you to debug headless
machines by sharing the console port between the debugger and the system
console. It's not 100% reliabile, but it works well. It's optional
and disabled by default.

bit 10 is the old bit for MTRR (presumably this changed, an older P5 I
have has got it, the newer cpus have the new MTRR bit set)
bit 11 is SEP (fast syscalls), bit 23 is MMX
Fill in the other reserved ones with a stub so that we can see them if
they turn up.

faster with the bit scanning instruction that looks these up - this set of
changes reverts the original change.

CPU code-named `M2'.
- Use the result of cpuid instruction instead of DIR to identify
6x86MX cpu. DIR0 and DIR1 are not documented in the data sheet, and
cpuid instruction is enabled at reset time.
- Add a function, init_6x86MX() to initialize 6x86MX cpu. It supports
CPU_SUSP_HLT and CPU_IORT options. It always sets NC1 (640K - 1M is
not cached.), and enables L1 cache in write-back mode.
- Fix typo in the comment in identblue().
Changes to pmap.c for lapic_t lapic && ioapic_t ioapic pointers,
currently equal to apic_base && io_apic_base, will stand alone with the
private page mapping.
- vector.s <- stub called by i386/exception.s
- icu_vector.s <- UP
- apic_vector.s <- SMP
Split icu.s into UP and SMP specific files:
- ipl.s <- stub called by i386/exception.s (formerly icu.s)
- icu_ipl.s <- UP
- apic_ipl.s <- SMP
This was done in preparation for massive changes to the SMP INTerrupt
mechanisms. More fine tuning, such as merging ipl.s into exception.s,
may be appropriate.
This is now the default, it delays most of the MP startup to the function
machdep.c:cpu_startup(). It should be possible to move the 2 functions
found there (mp_start() & mp_announce()) even further down the path once
we know exactly where that should be...

- The 1st (preparse_mp_table()) counts the number of cpus, busses, etc. and
records the LOCAL and IO APIC addresses.
- The 2nd pass (parse_mp_table()) does the actual parsing of info and recording
into the incore MP table.
This will allow us to defer the 2nd pass untill malloc() & private pages
are available (but thats for another day!).
panic( "xxxxx\n" );
to:
printf( "xxxxx\n" );
panic( "\n" );
For some as yet undetermined reason the argument to panic() is often NOT
printed, and the system sometimes hangs before reaching the panic printout.
So we hopefully at least print some useful info before the hang, as oppossed to
leaving the user clueless as to what has happened.
Remove "setdefs.h" and arrange to generate it automatically at
ELF kernel build time.
"gensetdefs.c" is a utility which scans a set of ELF object files
and outputs a line ``DEFINE_SET(name, length);'' for each linker
set that it finds. When generating an ELF kernel, this is run just
before the final link to generate "setdefs.h".
Remove the init_sets() function from "setdef0.c", and its call from
"machdep.c". Since "gensetdefs.c" calculates the length of each
set, it is no longer necessary in an ELF kernel to count the set
elements at kernel initialization time. Also remove "set_of_sets"
which was used for this purpose.
Link "setdef0" and "setdef1" into the kernel only if building for
ELF. Since init_sets() is no longer used, there is no need to link
them into an a.out kernel.
to fill in the nfs_diskless structure, at the cost of some kernel

Fixed initialization of gdt[] for the BDE_DEBUGGER case. APM entries
clobbered debugger entries if the debugger was loaded (APM is incompatible
with BDE_DEBUGGER) and unused entries were garbage if the debugger wasn't
loaded.
(eg: above 0xffc00000). Programs using /dev/kmem are implicitly racing

these for some time now, but with printfs. It's saved two panics at
least that I can remember.

XXX npxproc could be declared in npx.h so the externs with smp fruit
are not needed.
Remove TF_REGP() macro and use. The original reason (address space
problems due to having UPAGES in mapped into user space) is gone. It
looks cleaner without it.
