- Do not try to steal load from other CPUs if there was no contest switches
on this CPU (i.e. it was idle all the time and woke up just for bus mastering
or TLB shutdown). If current CPU was idle, then it is quite unlikely that some
other CPU has load to steal. Under high I/O rate, when TLB shutdowns cause
numerous CPU wakeups, on 24-CPU system load stealing code may consume up to
25% of all CPU time without giving any benefits.
- Change code that implements spinning for load to restart spin in case of
context switch. Previous code periodically called cpu_idle() even under
high interrupt/context switch rate.
- Rise spinning threshold to 10KHz, where it gives at least some effect
that may worth consumed power.

Some hooks are added to clamp down maxusers and nmbclusters for
small address space systems.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_MAXUSERS - the max maxusers that will be autotuned based on
physical memory.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS - max nmbclusters based on physical memory.
These are set to the old values on i386 to preserve the clamping that was
being done to all arches.
Another macro VM_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS is provided to allow an override
for the calculation on a MD basis. Currently no arch defines this.

This is primarily for the TX EDMA and TX EDMA completion. I haven't yet
tied it into the EDMA RX path or the legacy TX/RX path.
Things that I don't quite like:
* Make the pointer type 'void' in ath_softc and have if_ath_alq*()
return a malloc'ed buffer. That would remove the need to include
if_ath_alq.h in if_athvar.h.
* The sysctl setup needs to be cleaned up.
I'm using this to debug EDMA TX and RX descriptors and it's really helpful
to have a non-printf() way to decode frames.
I won't link this into the build until I've tidied it up a little more.
This will eventually be behind ATH_DEBUG_ALQ.
kernel memory leakage to userspace. For the typical use, when a
filesystem put on the md disk, the change only results in CPU and
memory bandwidth spent to zero the page, since filsystems make sure
that user never see unwritten content. But if md disk is used as raw
device by userspace, the garbage is exposed.

to further reduce latency for threads in this queue. This should help
as threads transition from realtime to timeshare. The latency is
bound to a max of sched_slice until we have more than sched_slice / 6
threads runnable. Then the min slice is allotted to all threads and
latency becomes (nthreads - 1) * min_slice.

There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.

- Make sys/boot/pc98/boot2 always build with gcc for now, until we can
figure out a way to shrink it enough when building with clang.
- Since sys/boot/p98/cdboot uses .code16 directives, which are not yet
supported by clang's integrated assembler, use -no-integrated-as,
similar to sys/boot/i386/cdboot.
