77205a0535 Use single instance of the identical INKERNEL() and PMC_IN_KERNEL()
macros on amd64 and i386.  Move the definition to machine/param.h.
kgdb defines INKERNEL() too, the conflict is resolved by renaming kgdb
version to PINKERNEL().

On i386, correct the lowest kernel address.  After the shared page was
introduced, USRSTACK no longer points to the last user address + 1 [*]

2fc7871f11 Make preparations for increasing the size of the kernel virtual
address space on the amd64 architecture.  The amd64 architecture
requires kernel code and global variables to reside in the highest 2GB
of the 64-bit virtual address space.  Thus, KERNBASE cannot change.
However, KERNBASE is sometimes used as the start of the kernel virtual
address space.  Henceforth, VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS should be used
instead.  Since KERNBASE and VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS are still the same
address, there should be no visible effect from this change (yet).

99285f7544 Break out stack(9) from ddb(4):
- Introduce per-architecture stack_machdep.c to hold stack_save(9).
- Introduce per-architecture machine/stack.h to capture any common
  definitions required between db_trace.c and stack_machdep.c.
- Add new kernel option "options STACK"; we will build in stack(9) if it is
  defined, or also if "options DDB" is defined to provide compatibility
  with existing users of stack(9).

Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing
stack_save(9) was limited to.  It requires that the thread be neither
swapped out nor running, which is the responsibility of the consumer to
enforce.

Update stack(9) man page.

Build tested:	amd64, arm, i386, ia64, powerpc, sparc64, sun4v
Runtime tested:	amd64 (rwatson), arm (cognet), i386 (rwatson)
