some systems were designed so that AML writes to various resources shared
with OS drivers, including the RTC, PIC, PCI, etc. These writes could
collide with writes by the OS and should never be performed. For now, we
print a message if such an access occurs, but do not block it. To block
the access, the tunable "debug.acpi.block_bad_io" can be set to 1. In the
future, we will flip the switch and this will become the default.
Information about this problem was found in Microsoft KB 283649. They
block IO accesses if the BIOS indicates via _OSI that it is Windows 2001
or higher. They always block accesses to the PIC, cascaded PIC, and ELCRs,
no matter how old the BIOS.
systems (blade servers). On most systems, this is implemented as an IO
write to the SMI port and the BIOS generates the actual reset.

foreign per-CPU pages in cpu_ipi_send() in order to get the module IDs
of the other CPUs can cause a page fault. If this happens when doing a
TLB shootdown while dealing with another page fault this causes a panic
due to the recursive page fault. As I don't spot other code that assumes
or requires that accessing foreign per-CPU pages must not page fault
solve this by adding a statically allocated (and therefore locked in the
kernel pages) array which establishes a FreeBSD CPU ID -> module ID
relation and use that in cpu_ipi_selected() (instead of statically
allocating the per-CPU pages which would just waste memory on say a dual
CPU machine as sun4u theoretically supports up to 128 CPUs or wasting
dTLB slots for the foreign per-CPU pages). [1]
- Fix a potential race in cpu_ipi_send(); as we don't serialize the access
to cpu_ipi_selected() between MI and MD use (only MI-MI and MD-MD) we
might catch the NACK bit caused by sending another IPI. Solve this by
checking the NACK bit in the contents of the interrupt dispatch status
reg read while interrupts were still turned off instead of reading that
reg anew after interrupts were turned on again. This is also what the
CPU docs suggest to do.
- Add a workaround for the SpitFire erratum #54 bug (affecting interrupt
dispatch). While public info regarding what this CPU bug actually causes
is not available testing shows that with the workaround in place it's
less likely to get a "couldn't send ipi" panic, it doesn't solve these
panics entirely though. [2]

get_cyclecount() as that results in a saner value and makes schedgraph
much happier on Alpha. (schedgraph doesn't handle the fact that the
counters are out of sync though)
as we have to call tick_init() before cninit() in order to provide the
low-level console drivers with a working DELAY() which in turn means we
cannot use panic() in tick_init().
