that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.
This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P

This call must be unconditional. Regardless of whether the pmap is active

CPU. For example, a call to pmap_remove_all() by the page daemon could
result in a call to _pmap_unwire_pte_hold() with the pmap inactive on the
current CPU and active on another CPU. In such circumstances, failing to
call pmap_invalidate_page() results in a stale TLB entry on the other CPU
that still maps the now deallocated page table page. What happens next is
typically a mysterious panic in pmap_enter() by the other CPU, either
"pmap_enter: attempted pmap_enter on 4MB page" or "pmap_enter: pte vanished,

the page table page's wired count rather than its hold count to contain
the reference count. My rationale for this change is based on several
factors:
1. The machine-independent and pmap layers used the same hold count field
in subtly different ways. The machine-independent layer uses the hold
count to implement a form of ephemeral wiring that is used by pipes,
physio, etc. In other words, subsystems where we wish to temporarily
block a page from being swapped out while it is mapped into the kernel's
address space. Such pages are never removed from the page queues.
Instead, the page daemon recognizes a non-zero hold count to mean "hands
off this page." In contrast, page table pages are never in the page
queues; they are wired from birth to death. The hold count was being
used as a kind of reference count, specifically, the number of valid
page table entries within the page. Not surprisingly, these two
different uses imply different synchronization rules: in the machine-
independent layer access to the hold count requires the page queues
lock; whereas in the pmap layer the pmap lock is required. Thus,
continued use by the pmap layer of vm_page_unhold(), which asserts that
the page queues lock is held, made no sense.
2. _pmap_unwire_pte_hold() was too forgiving in its handling of the wired
count. An unexpected wired count on a page table page was ignored and
the underlying page leaked.
3. In a word, microoptimization. Using the wired count exclusively, rather
than a combination of the wired and hold counts, makes the code slightly
smaller and faster.

One scenario where the old code could cause a lost PG_M bit is a

The thread doing fork() would call vmspace_fork(), which would then
call vm_map_copy_entry() which would call pmap_protect() on an area

Additionally, make the clearing of PG_M by pmap_protect() unconditional if

fully initialed when the pmap layer tries to call sched_pini() early in the
boot and results in an quick panic. Use ke_pinned instead as was originally

value was only enough for 8GB of RAM, the new value can do 16GB. This still
isn't optimal since it doesn't scale. Fixing this for amd64 looks to be
fairly easy, but for i386 will be quite difficult.
