will be used to reduce the number of tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system
by sending one ipi for a whole range of pages, instead of one per page.
Munge the context demap operations slightly to support demapping a non-primary
context.
If we don't do this here there's a 1 instruction race where an interrupt
could come in and crash the user process due to having no stack.
2. Pass %fsr to the user trap handler in %l4. Since %fsr can only be loaded
from or stored to memory, we need to do some contortions and temporarily
save it to the alternate global stack.
3. Reload the pcb and pcpu registers for traps in kernel mode, for sanity.

While in userland, keep the thread's ucred reference in a shadow
field so that the usual place to store it is NULL.
If DIAGNOSTIC is not set, the thread ucred is kept valid until the next
kernel entry, at which time it is checked against the process cred
and possibly corrected. Produces a BIG speedup in
kernels with INVARIANTS set. (A previous commit corrected it
for the non INVARIANTS case already)

o Remove unused __uint16_swap_uint32() from i386's <machine/endian.h>.
o Remove prototypes for non-existent bswapXX() functions.
o Include <machine/endian.h> in <arpa/inet.h> to define the
POSIX-required ntohl() family of functions.
o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,
and <sys/param.h>.
o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>.
o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main
thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than
assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there
but remove all teh code that assumes that in preparation for the next commit
which will actually move it out.

some arches and the syscall table is machine-independent. It was
(bogusly) conditional on COMPAT_43, so this usually makes no difference.
ia64: in addition:
- replace the bogus cloned comment before osigreturn() by a correct one.
osigreturn() is just a stub fo ia64's.
- fix the formatting of cloned comment before sigreturn().
- fix the return code. use nosys() instead of returning ENOSYS to get
the same semantics as if the syscall is not in the syscall table.
Generating SIGSYS is actually correct here.
- fix style bugs.
powerpc: copy the cleaned up ia64 stub. This mainly fixes a bogus comment.

Call critical_enter/critical_exit around (fast) interrupt handlers. All
non-threaded interrupts are fast, and the threaded interrupt scheduler is
itself a fast interrupt.
Assert that an interrupt handler we are about to call is non-zero.
Be paranoid about restoring the users global registers. Do it as the
last thing before switching to alternate globals (when we magically get
our preloaded registers back), and do it with interrupts disabled. Any
kind of kernel trap when the globals are not setup properly is bad news.
Don't save and restore the kernel g6, it invariably points to the current
pcb now.
data word in an interrupt packet is non-zero, it points to code to execute
to handle the ipi, so jump to it instead of enqueueing the packet. It
is unclear if we will need queued ipis.
Interrupt g7 now points to pcpu, instead of to the per-cpu interrupt queue
itself, so use that instead. Interrupt g6 is no longer reserved.
