mappings into the kernel's exec and pipe submaps.) Consequently, there is
no reason for get_pv_entry() to dig deep into the free page queues, i.e.,
use VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM, by default. This revision changes get_pv_entry() to
use VM_ALLOC_NORMAL by default, i.e., before calling pmap_collect() to
reclaim pv entries.

driver attaches to each cpu device and creates a sysctl node in that
device's sysctl context (dev.cpu.N.temperature). When invoked, the
handler binds to the appropriate CPU to ensure a correct reading.

calculate the hyperthreading_cpus value for the sysctl that enables or
disables hyperthread cores. Change mp_topology() to use that information
rather than trying to do it itself.
This solves the problem of ULE being incorrectly told that dual core
Athlon64 X2 or Operton cpus are hyperthreading cores. At the very least,
we now have a single piece of code to identify hyperthreading.

on 64-bit kernels:
- Let ABIs expose their maximum stack size via a new pointer in sysentvec
and use that in preference to maxssiz during exec() rather than always
using maxssiz for all processses.
- Apply the ABI's limit fixup to the previous stack size when adjusting
RLIMIT_STACK to determine if the existing mapping for the stack needs to
be grown or shrunk (as well as how much it should be grown or shrunk).

114 bytes of cmos ram in the PC clock chip. The big difference between
this and the Linux version is that we do not recalculate the checksums
for bytes 16..31.
We use this at work when cloning identical machines - we can copy the
bios settings as well. Reading /dev/nvram gives 114 bytes of data but
you can seek/read/write whichever bytes you like.
Yes, this is a "foot, gun, fire!" type of device.

oldthread should point at before we return.
- When cpu_switch() is called the td_lock pointer in the old thread may
point at the blocked lock. This prevents other processors from
switching into this thread while we're still switching out. Wait
until we're done deactivating the vmspace before we release the
thread by assigning to td_lock.
- Before we can activate the new vmspace we must make sure that the new
thread is not assigned to the blocked lock. It may be in the process
of switching out on another cpu. Spin until the new thread is
available.
- Use thread_lock() rather than sched_lock for per-thread scheduling
sychronization.
- Use the per-process spinlock rather than the sched_lock for per-process

sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.
The type must always be an int or an unsigned int.
Remove the instances where a sizeof(variable) is passed to stop
people accidently cut and pasting these examples.
In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit
types, which would truncate the value to be exported. In these
cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.
Probabilly, a general approach is not the better solution here, so we should
solve the sched_lock protection problems separately.

handler is wrapped in a couple of functions - a filter wrapper and an
ithread wrapper. In this case (and just in this case), the filter
wrapper could ask the system to schedule the ithread and mask the
interrupt source if the wrapped handler is composed of just an ithread
handler: modify the "old" interrupt code to make it support
this situation, while the "new" interrupt code is already ok.
