As part of the 8.0-RELEASE cycle this was done in stable/8 (r199112)
but was left alone in head so people could work on fixing an issue that
caused boot failure on some motherboards. Apparently nobody has worked
on it and we are getting reports of boot failure with the 9.0 test builds.
So this time I'll comment out the driver in head (still hoping someone
will work on it) and MFC to stable/9.

- Replace instances of manual assembly instruction "hlt" call
with halt() function calling.
- In cpu_idle_mwait() avoid races in check to sched_runnable() using
the same pattern used in cpu_idle_hlt() with the 'hlt' instruction.
- Add comments explaining the logic behind the pattern used in
cpu_idle_hlt() and other idle callbacks.

patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

In particular:
- fix format specifiers in the DPRINTFs;
- do not use kernel_map for temporal mapping backed by the vnode, this
cannot work since kernel map is a system map. Use exec_map instead.
- ignore error code from an attempt to insert the hole. If supposed hole
is located at the region already populated by .bss, it is not an error.
- correctly translate vm error codes to errno, when appropriate.

Back in 2009 I changed the ABI of the GIO_KEYMAP and PIO_KEYMAP ioctls

for the old calls, but I didn't get any feedback to that.
It seems now people are upgrading from 8 to 9 they experience this
issue, so add it anyway.

option to vm_object_page_remove() asserts that the specified range of pages
is not mapped, or more precisely that none of these pages have any managed
mappings. Thus, vm_object_page_remove() need not call pmap_remove_all() on
the pages.
This change not only saves time by eliminating pointless calls to
pmap_remove_all(), but it also eliminates an inconsistency in the use of
pmap_remove_all() versus related functions, like pmap_remove_write(). It
eliminates harmless but pointless calls to pmap_remove_all() that were being
performed on PG_UNMANAGED pages.
Update all of the existing assertions on pmap_remove_all() to reflect this
change.

constraining file descriptors). Just in case, and because it's a better
name anyway, let's move CAPABILITIES out of the way.
Also, change opt_capabilities.h to opt_capsicum.h; for now, this will
only hold CAPABILITY_MODE, but it will probably also hold the new
CAPABILITIES (implying constrained file descriptors) in the future.

resource allocation from an x86 Host-PCI bridge driver so that it can be
reused by the ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver (and eventually the MPTable
Host-PCI bridge driver) instead of duplicating the same logic. Note that
this means that hw.acpi.host_mem_start is now replaced with the
hw.pci.host_mem_start tunable that was already used in the non-ACPI case.
This also removes hw.acpi.host_mem_start on ia64 where it was not
applicable (the implementation was very x86-specific).
While here, adjust the logic to apply the new start address on any
"wildcard" allocation even if that allocation comes from a subset of
the allowable address range.

We've discussed enabling it from time to time over the years

that shipping 9.0 with working audio by default would be the
best thing to do.

The code has definitely been broken for SCHED_ULE, which is a default
scheduler. It may have been broken for SCHED_4BSD in more subtle ways,
e.g. with manually configured CPU affinities and for interrupt devilery
purposes.
We still provide a way to disable individual CPUs or all hyperthreading
"twin" CPUs before SMP startup. See the UPDATING entry for details.
Interaction between building CPU topology and disabling CPUs still
remains fuzzy: topology is first built using all availble CPUs and then
the disabled CPUs should be "subtracted" from it. That doesn't work
well if the resulting topology becomes non-uniform.
This work is done in cooperation with Attilio Rao who in addition to
reviewing also provided parts of code.

particular, that thread 0 on each core be brought up first). The SLIST
through which we loop to start the CPUs has all of its entries added with
SLIST_INSERT_HEAD(), which means it is in reverse order of enumeration
and so AP startup would always fail in such situations (causing a machine
check or RTAS failure). Fix this by changing the SLIST into an STAILQ,
and inserting new CPUs at the end.
