environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

and pmap_copy_page(). This gets rid of a couple more physical addresses
in upper layers, with the eventual aim of supporting PAE and dealing with
the physical addressing mostly within pmap. (We will need either 64 bit
physical addresses or page indexes, possibly both depending on the
circumstances. Leaving this to pmap itself gives more flexibilitly.)

In the i386 case, options BOOTP requires options NFS_ROOT as well as
options NFSCLIENT. With *both* the NFS options, a bootpc_init()

In the ia64 case, it just doesn't work and my change just pushes it
further away from working.

The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control
ast() everywhere that changes the signal mask.
Avoid locking in userret() in most of the remaining cases.

The problem in general is that memory typically has one really
big region and a number of "scattered" smaller regions. Some may
even be just a few pages. The twiddle works best for now, but
it doesn't really give a good progress indication for the large
regions. Those are the cases where you definitely want good PI
to avoid having the user turn into a twiddle :-)

Backout and re-apply improperly comitted syntactical cleanups made to files
that were still under active development. Backout improperly comitted program
structure changes that moved localized declarations to the top of two
procedures. Partially re-apply one of the program structure changes to
move 'mask' into an intermediate block rather then in three separate
sub-blocks to make the code more readable. Re-integrate bug fixes that Jake
made to the sparc64 code.
Note: In general, developers should not gratuitously move declarations out
of sub-blocks. They are where they are for reasons of structure, grouping,
readability, compiler-localizability, and to avoid developer-introduced bugs
similar to several found in recent years in the VFS and VM code.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

bootinfo block in register r8. In locore.s we save the address
in the global variable 'pa_bootinfo'. In machdep.c we compare
this value against the hardwired address, but don't depend on its
validity yet (ie: we still expect the bootinfo block to be at the
hardwired address). After a small amount of time, we'll flip the
switch and depend on the loader to pass us the address. From that
moment on the loader is free to put it anywhere it likes, provided
the machine itself likes it as well.
Add some verbosity to aid in the transition. We emit a message if
the loader didn't pass the address and we also emit a message if
there's no bootinfo block at the hardwired address.
While in locore.s, reduce the number of redundant serialization
instructions. A srlz.i is a proper superset of a srlz.d and thus
is a valid replacement. Also slightly reorder the movl instructions
to improve bundle density.
