and ifnet functions
- add memory barriers to <machine/atomic.h>
- update drivers to only conditionally define their own
- add lockless producer / consumer ring buffer
- remove ring buffer implementation from cxgb and update its callers
- add if_transmit(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m) to ifnet to
allow drivers to efficiently manage multiple hardware queues
(i.e. not serialize all packets through one ifq)
- expose if_qflush to allow drivers to flush any driver managed queues

to set the initial PIO mode instead of assuming PIO4. There are still a few
nagging issues:
- There are some problems with 64 K DMA transfers waiting on lower level
changes.
- ATAPI DMA is broken on Marcel's Mac Mini because we need an ATA SELECT hook
propagated up to individual drivers for hardware without timing registers for
each ATA channel.

also brings in Mac GPIO support, for which we should eventually have a better
interface.

possible others on new hardware.
On G5 systems, there are several otherwise standard PCI devices
(Serverworks SATA) that will not allow their interrupt properties to be
written, so this information must be supplied directly from Open Firmware.

code which no longer serves a real purpose after bring-up and just
can be removed as well. Note that architectures like sun4u also
provide no means of implementing IPI'ing a CPU itself natively
in the first place.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

that way, and search for the actual instances of sigcode etc.

o In decr_intr(), manually perform LICM, so that we don't test

o Include <machine/smp.h>
volatile so that the compiler won't perform CSE. For SMP,
this may result in us accessing the wrong PCPU and as such
results in a bogus curthread value.
Note that getting curthread is not quite MP-safe in the sense
that it requires two instructions that aren't performed
atomically. The first instruction gets the address of the PCPU
structure and the second instruction dereferences that pointer
to get curthread. If a thread is switched-out in between these
instructions and switched-in on a different CPU, we still get
the wrong curthread.
common PowerPC code when all we want to achieve is to enable

Save the L2 and L3 cache configuration in global values so
