console, even if there is a TIOCCONS console tty. We were already
doing this after a panic, but it's also useful when entering DDB
for some other reason too.
TIOCCONS console (e.g. xconsole) via a timeout routine instead of
calling into the tty code directly from printf(). This fixes a
number of cases where calling printf() at the wrong time (such as
with locks held) would cause a panic if xconsole is running.
The TIOCCONS message buffer is 8k in size by default, but this can
be changed with the kern.consmsgbuf_size sysctl. By default, messages
are checked for 5 times per second. The timer runs and the buffer
memory remains allocated only at times when a TIOCCONS console is
active.

Reorder how the pci probing in handled. before adding devices, check to
see if the slot is a multi-function device to see if we should probe all
the functions.
Original idea by: imp
with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.
The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

data access errors when trying to read/write to non-existant PCI devices.
fix the psycho bridge to use peek for probing devices. This no longer
fakes it if the OFW node doesn't exist (and the reg == 0).

- Avoid calling bread() with different sizes on the same blkno.
Although the buffer cache is designed to handle differing size
buffers, it erroneously tries to write the incorrectly-sized buffer
buffer back to disk before reading the correctly-sized one, even
when it's not dirty. This behaviour caused a panic for read-only
NTFS mounts when INVARIANTS was enabled ("bundirty: buffer x still
on queue y"), reported by NAKAJI Hiroyuki.
