remains. Xen is planning to phase out support for PV upstream since it
is harder to maintain and has more overhead. Modern x86 CPUs include
virtualization extensions that support HVM guests instead of PV guests.
In addition, the PV code was i386 only and not as well maintained recently
as the HVM code.
- Remove the i386-only NATIVE option that was used to disable certain
components for PV kernels. These components are now standard as they
are on amd64.
- Remove !XENHVM bits from PV drivers.
- Remove various shims required for XEN (e.g. PT_UPDATES_FLUSH, LOAD_CR3,
etc.)
- Remove duplicate copy of <xen/features.h>.
- Remove unused, i386-only xenstored.h.

Much of the code was common to begin with. There is one nit, which is likely
not an issue at all. With the old code, the AIM machdep would __syncicache()
the entire kernel core at setup. However, in the unified setup, that seems to
hang on the MPC7455, perhaps because it's running later than before. Removing
this allows it to boot just fine. Examining the code, the FreeBSD loader
already does syncicache of the full kernel, and each module loaded, so this
doesn't appear to be an actual problem.

The problem with the earlier implementation was that the uptime value
used by 'vrtc_curtime()' could be different than the uptime value when
'vrtc_time_update()' actually updated 'base_uptime'.
Fix this by calculating and updating the (rtctime, uptime) tuple together.

Those functions are problematic, because there is no way to report
memory allocation problems without complicating the API, so we can
either abort or potentially return invalid results. None of which is
acceptable.
In most cases the caller knows the size of the name, so he can allocate
buffer on the stack and use snprintf(3) to prepare the name.
After some discussion the conclusion is to removed those functions,
which also simplifies the API.

The change would appease the static analyzers but it is pretty much a
no-op. I need to trust static analyzers much less, especially for the
kernel.

Currently if you ifconfig down a vtnet interface while it is being used
via netmap, the kernel panics due to trying to treat the cookie values
in the virtio rings as mbufs to be freed. When netmap is enabled, these
cookie values are pointers to something else.
Note that other netmap-aware drivers don't seem to need this as they
store the mbuf pointers in the software rings that mirror the hardware
descriptor rings, and since netmap doesn't touch those, the software
state always has NULL mbuf pointers causing the loops to free mbufs to
not do anything. However, vtnet reuses the same state area for both
netmap and non-netmap mode, so it needs to explicitly avoid looking at
the rings and treating the cookie values as mbufs if netmap is
enabled.

valid range of targets to scan. That can be fixed in a follow-up commit.

a text file with a list of physical memory addresses to exclude, and have it
loaded at boot time via the provided example in loader.conf. The tunable
'vm.blacklist' remains, but using an external file means that there's no
practical limit to the size of the list. This change also improves the
scanning algorithm for processing the list, scanning the list only once
instead of scanning it for every page in the system. Both the sysctl and
the file can be unsorted and contain duplicates so long as each entry is
numeric (decimal or hex) and is separated by a space, comma, or newline
character. The sysctl 'vm.page_blacklist' is now provided to report what
memory locations were successfully excluded.
