- If possible, context switch to the thread directly in sched_ithd(),
rather than triggering a delayed ast reschedule.
- Disable interrupts while restoring fpu state in the trap handler,
in order to ensure that we are not preempted in the middle, which
could cause migration to another cpu.

* Optimise the return path for syscalls so that they only restore a minimal
set of registers instead of performing a full exception_return.
A new flag in the trapframe indicates that the frame only holds partial
state. When it is necessary to perform a full state restore (e.g. after an
execve or signal), the flag is cleared to force a full restore.
Turn off semaphores. Nobody else implements them, and there is lots of
AML out there which does totally absurd things with them, meaning that
if we try to do the right thing we are guaranteed to fail.

filesystem softdep_process_worklist() is called in a loop until it indicates
that no dependancies remain, but the determination of that fact depends on
there only being one softdep_process_worklist() instance running. It was
possible for the syncer to also be running softdep_process_worklist()
and the pre-existing checks in the code to prevent this were not sufficient
to prevent the race. This patch solves the problem.

- Add a note about the special locking semantics used for members such as
p_cred that are read by multiple processes but only written to by the
current process.
- Change p_upages_obj's locking key to note that it is created at fork
and left alone afterwards (the actual pointer, not what it points to.)
- Mark p_intr_nesting_level as being implicitly locked since only curproc
accesses it.

The netgraph_bpf node forced bpf to be present, reflect that in the
options.
Stop doing a 'count bpf' - we provide stubs.
Since a handful of drivers still refer to "bpf.h", provide a more accurate
indication that the API is present always. (eg: netinet6)

This could be used as an example of how to do this in other drivers,
for example: ccd.
fsyncs, which typically occur during unmounting, will drain all dirty
buffers even if it takes multiple passes to do so. The guarentee was
mangled by the last patch which solved a problem due to -current disabling
interrupts while holding giant (which caused an infinite spin loop waiting for
I/O to complete). -stable does not have either patch, but has a similar
bug in the original spec_fsync() code which is triggered by a bug in the
softupdates umount code, a fix for which will be committed to -current
as soon as Kirk stamps it. Then both solutions will be MFC'd to -stable.
-stable currently suffers from a combination of the softupdates bug and
a small window of opportunity in the original spec_fsync() code, and -stable
also suffers from the spin-loop bug but since interrupts are enabled the
spin resolves itself in a few milliseconds.

o Remove the alignment work-around for alpha. Our current alpha
as(1) does not assume alignment after section switching, nor
does the ia64 as(1).
- When used on a 33MHz PCI BUS, the 53C1010-66 revision 0
requires extra clocks to be inserted in data out phase.
Revision 1 is fixed.
- The 53C1010-33 revision 1 requires internal cycles to be

Fix:
- The probing of HVD from GPIO3 bit by the driver was reversed.
The driver could misprobe the bus mode of a 825 or 875 chip
that was not previously initialized (no BIOS for example).
The new method is 'flood' (in addition to the old round-robin)
in which incoming packets are sent to more than one outgoing hook.

problem is that a mutex lock, prior to this change, is acquired before
the curproc is set to idleproc, so we mess ourselves up by calling
the mutex lock routine with curproc == NULL.
Moving it up after the aps_ready spin-wait has us hopefully setting it
after idleproc is setup.

Move the helper macros from sbuf.h to sbuf.c
Use ints instead of size_ts.
Relax the requirements for sbuf_finish(): it is now possible to finish an
overflowed buffer.
Make sbuf_len() return -1 instead of 0 if the sbuf overflowed.
