PIC_SETUP_INTR implementation in GICv3 did not allow
for setting up interrupts without included FDT
description. GICv2m-like MSI interrupts, which map
MSI messages to SPI interrupt lines, may not have
a description in FDT. Add support for such interrupts
by setting the trigger and polarity to the appropriate
values for MSI (edge, high) and get the hardware
IRQ number from the corresponding ISRC.

page is non-executable the contents of the i-cache are unimportant so this
call is just adding unneeded overhead when inserting pages.
While doing research using gem5 with an O3 pipeline and 1k/32k/1M iTLB/L1
iCache/L2 Bjoern Zeeb (bz@) observed a fairly high rate of calls into
arm64_icache_sync_range() from pmap_enter() along with a high number of
instruction fetches and iTLB/iCache hits.
Limiting the calls to arm64_icache_sync_range() to only executable pages,
we observe the iTLB and iCache Hit going down by about 43%. These numbers
are quite misleading when looked at alone as at the same time instructions
retired were reduced by 19.2% and instruction fetches were reduced by 38.8%.
Overall this reduced the runtime of the test program by 22.4%.
On Juno hardware, in steady-state, running the same test, using the cycle
count to determine runtime, we do see a reduction of up to 28.9% in runtime.
While these numbers certainly depend on the program executed, we expect an
overall performance improvement.

Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

there is a short period where functions that walk the kernel page table
without locking them may see an invalid entry. One solution would be to add
locking to these functions, however some may be called from locations where
we are unable to sleep.
Until a better solution can be found stop promoting pages in the kernel
pmap so these functions work as expected.

Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.
Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.
Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.
Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

CloudABI executables already provide support for passing in vDSOs. This
functionality is used by the emulator for OS X to inject system call
handlers. On FreeBSD, we could use it to optimize calls to
gettimeofday(), etc.
Though I don't have any plans to optimize any system calls right now,
let's go ahead and already pass in a vDSO. This will allow us to
simplify the executables, as the traditional "syscall" shims can be
removed entirely. It also means that we gain more flexibility with
regards to adding and removing system calls.
