4cba3170f9 Fixup to the kern_psignal manpage
r283105 misspelled kern_psignal as kernel_psignal in one occurrence, and
added trailing whitespace.

While here, change 'call' to the more standard 'function', and say why
the name was changed (taken from the commit message for r225617).

6006bf3a7d If x86 CPU implementation of the MWAIT instruction reasonably
interacts with interrupts, query ACPI and use MWAIT for entrance into
Cx sleep states.  Support C1 "I/O then halt" mode.  See Intel'
document 302223-007 "Intelб╝ Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface
Specification" for description.

Move the acpi_cpu_c1() function into x86/cpu_machdep.c and use
it instead of inlining "sti; hlt" sequence in several places.

In the acpi(4) man page, besides documenting the dev.cpu.N.cx_methods
sysctl, correct the names for dev.cpu.N.{cx_usage,cx_lowest,cx_supported}
sysctls.

Both jkim and avg have some other patches implementing the mwait
functionality; this work is unrelated.  Linux does not rely on the
ACPI to provide correct tables describing Cx modes.  Instead, the
driver has pre-defined knowledge of the CPU models, it was supplied by
Intel.

9c4c8b62fb Remove support for Xen PV domU kernels. Support for HVM domU kernels
remains.  Xen is planning to phase out support for PV upstream since it
is harder to maintain and has more overhead.  Modern x86 CPUs include
virtualization extensions that support HVM guests instead of PV guests.
In addition, the PV code was i386 only and not as well maintained recently
as the HVM code.
- Remove the i386-only NATIVE option that was used to disable certain
  components for PV kernels.  These components are now standard as they
  are on amd64.
- Remove !XENHVM bits from PV drivers.
- Remove various shims required for XEN (e.g. PT_UPDATES_FLUSH, LOAD_CR3,
  etc.)
- Remove duplicate copy of <xen/features.h>.
- Remove unused, i386-only xenstored.h.

807ec56342 Always send log(9) messages to the message buffer.
It is truer to the semantics of logging for messages to *always*
go to the message buffer, where they can eventually be collected
and, in fact, be put into a log file.

This restores the behavior prior to r70239, which seems to have
changed it inadvertently.

4317a349c0 Add a hint that "device ctl" kind of depends on "device iscsi".
It actually doesn't - "device ctl" automatically pulls in ICL, which
would normally be a part of iscsi.ko.  However, doing it that way makes
iscsi.ko unloadable, and building ctl.ko without iscsi.ko (using
MODULES_OVERRIDE) results in ctl.ko that is unloadable, due to missing
symbols that would be resolved to iscsi.ko.  And since the symbols
are named "icl_whatever", it's not obvious that it's iscsi.ko that's
required.

If there is a better way - let me know.

  datagrams to any value, to improve performance. The behaviour is
  controlled by net.inet.ip.rfc6864 sysctl knob, which is enabled by
  default.

o Gather all code related to IP ID into ip_id.c.

6531ee3ae5 Make kevent(2) a cancellation point.
Note that to cancel blocked kevent(2) call, changelist must be empty,
since we cannot cancel a call which already made changes to the
process state.  And in reverse, call which only makes changes to the
kqueue state, without waiting for an event, is not cancellable.  This
makes a natural usage model to migrate kqueue loop to support
cancellation, where existing single kevent(2) call must be split into
two: first uncancellable update of kqueue, then cancellable wait for
events.

Note that this is ABI-incompatible change, but it is believed that
there is no cancel-safe code that relies on kevent(2) not being a
cancellation point.  Option to preserve the ABI would be to keep
kevent(2) as is, but add new call with flags to specify cancellation
behaviour, which only value seems to add complications.
