scheme allowed for 1024 PTE pages, each containing 256 PTEs.
This yielded 2GB of KVA. This is not enough to boot a kernel
on a 16GB box and in general too low for a 64-bit machine.
By adding a level of indirection we now have 1024 2nd-level
directory pages, each capable of supporting 2GB of KVA. This
brings the grand total to 2TB of KVA.

bogusly used the kvm_powerpc.c file as a template for the license, but
then either wrote the code himself, or cribbed it from the kvm_i386
file. The only thing from the kvm_powerpc.c file was the license.
Correct this mistake with his blessing.
far more convenient for libkvm to work with because of the page table
block at the beginning. As a result, the MD code is smaller.
libkvm will automatically detect old vs mini dumps on i386 and amd64.
libkvm will handle i386 PAE and non-PAE modes. There is a PAE flag in
the i386 minidump header to signal the width of the entries in the
page table block.
Other convenient values are also present, such as kernbase and the direct
map addresses on amd64.
readable on certain random memory configurations. If the libkvm consumer
tried to read something that was in the very last pdpe, pde or pte slot,
it would bogusly fail.
This is broken in RELENG_6 too.
returned an lseek offset in a "u_long *" value, which can't express >4GB
offsets on 32 bit machines (eg: PAE). Change to "off_t *" for all.
Support ELF crashdumps on i386 and amd64.
Support PAE crashdumps on i386. This is done by auto-detecting the
presence of the IdlePDPT which means that PAE is active.
I used Marcel's _kvm_pa2off strategy and ELF header reader for ELF support
on amd64. Paul Saab ported the amd64 changes to i386 and we implemented
the PAE support from there.
Note that gdb6 in the src tree uses whatever libkvm supports. If you want
to debug an old crash dump, you might want to keep an old libkvm.so handy
and use LD_PRELOAD or the like. This does not detect the old raw dump
format.

Extract the struct cdev pointer and the tty device from inside rather than
incorrectly casting the 'struct cdev *' pointer to a 'dev_t' int. Not
that this was particularly important since it was only used for reading
vmcore files.
- Add a comment noting that the ru_[us]times values being read aren't
actually valid and need to be computed from the raw values.

but with slightly cleaned up interfaces.
The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.
The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.
Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.
Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.
The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.
A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.
Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as
linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance
but I will work to recover as much of it as I can.
Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly.
exit and exec code now transitions a process back to
'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
