communicate the kernel's physical load address from where it's known in
initarm() into cpu_mp_start() which is called from non-arm code and
takes no parameters.
This adds the global variable and ensures that all the various copies
of initarm() set it. It uses the variable in cpu_mp_start(), eliminating
the last uses of KERNPHYSADDR outside of locore.S (where we can now
calculate it instead of relying on the constant).
a new physmem.c file. The new code provides helper routines that can be
used by legacy SoCs and newer FDT-based systems. There are routines to
add one or more regions of physically contiguous ram, and exclude one or
more physically contiguous regions of ram. Ram can be excluded from crash
dumps, from being given over to the vm system for allocation management,
or both. After all the included and excluded regions have been added,
arm_physmem_init_kernel_globals() processes the regions into the global
dump_avail and phys_avail arrays and realmem and physmem variables that
communicate memory configuration to the rest of the kernel.
Convert all existing SoCs to use the new helper code.
This was an optimization used only by a few xscale platforms. Part of
the optimization was to create a direct map for all physical pages, and
that resulted in making multiple mappings of pages in a way that bypassed
the logic in pmap.c to handle VIVT cache aliasing. It also just generally
made the code more complex and hard to maintain for all SoCs.

and where the code that references it can safely be elided if it's not
defined (meaning the code is used for legacy arm platforms that still
define the compile-time PHYSADDR but not on newer systems that calculate
the value at runtime).
in effect due to r250753. That is sufficient for all SoCs with a 32 byte
cache line size. Systems with 64 byte cache lines will need the option;
that will be done in a separate commit.
Thanks to loos@ for pointing out r250753.
a sub-node of nexus (ofwbus) rather than direct attach under nexus. This
fixes FDT on x86 and will make coexistence with ACPI on ARM systems easier.
SPARC is unchanged.

the old way was to store pcpu in a register, and get curthread from pcpu,
which is not very atomic, and led to issues if the thread was migrated
to another core between the time we got the pcpu address and the time we
got curthread.
Instead, we now store curthread where pcpu used to be store, and we
calculate the pcpu address based on the cpu id.
to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.
It turns out the version of gas we're using interprets the old '_all' mask
as 'fc' instead of 'fsxc'. That is, "all" doesn't really mean "all".
This was the cause of the "wrong-endian register restore" bug that's
been causing problems with some cortex-a9 chips. The 'endian' bit in the
spsr register would never get changed (it falls into the 'x' mask group)
and the first return-from-exception would fail if the chip had powered on
with garbage in the spsr register that included the big-endian bit. It's
unknown why this affected only certain cortex-a9 chips.
strings and include arbitrary information (IRQ line/domain/sense). When the
ofw_bus_map_intr() API was introduced, it assumed that, as on most systems,
these were either 1 cell, containing an interrupt line, or 2, containing
a line number plus a sense code. It turns out a non-negligible number of
ARM systems use 3 (or even 4!) cells for interrupts, so make this more
general.
