LAPIC may lead to aliasing for softclock and profclock because frequencies
are sized in order to fit mainly hardclock.
atrtc used to take care of the softclock and profclock and it does still
do, if the LAPIC can't handle the clocks properly.
Revert the change when the LAPIC started taking charge of all three of
them and let atrtc handle softclock and profclock if not explicitly
requested. Such request can be made setting != 0 the new tunable
machdep.lapic_allclocks or if the new device ATPIC is not present
within the i386 kernel config (atrtc is linked to atpic presence).

of allocating what ever the user asks for up to "ngroups_max + 1". On
systems with large values of kern.ngroups this will be more efficient.
The now redundant check that the array is large enough in
kern_getgroups() is deliberate to allow this change to be merged to
stable/8 without breaking potential third party consumers of the API.

INT_MAX-1. Given that the Windows group limit is 1024, this range
should be sufficient for most applications.

I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.
Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

Specifically, where locore had created large page mappings for the kernel,
the wrong vm page array entries were being initialized. The vm page array
entries for the pages containing the kernel were being initialized instead
of the vm page array entries for page table pages.

architectures.
Note that neither arm nor mips have the Makefile there, thus
essentially not (yet) supporting LINT. This would enable them
do add special treatment to sys/conf/makeLINT.mk as well chosing
one of the many configurations as LINT.
This is a hack of doing this and keeping it in a separate commit
will allow us to more easily identify and back it out.

The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally
considered including generic WDRT watchdog support, but decided
against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
approach.

I have found that it is not only desktop CPUs problem. but mobile also.
Probably AP on laptops just started initially at lower frequency, hiding
the problem.
Disable frequency validation by default, for systems with more then one CPU,
until we can implement it properly. It looks like making more harm now then
benefits. Add 'hw.est.strict' loader tunable to control it.
Now my iXsystems Invincibook is able to run at 800MHz lowest frequency,
instead of 1200MHz before, when 800MHz was incorrectly reported invalid.
CPU core, only pair of them. As result, both cores are running on highest
one of requested frequencies, and that is reported by status register.
Such behavior confuses frequency validation logic, as it runs on only
one core, as SMP is not yet launched, making EIST completely unusable.
To workaround this, add check for validation result. If we haven't found
at least two usable frequencies, then probably we are looking bad and have
to trust data provided by BIOS as-is.
functions are selfcontained (ie. they touch only isa_dma.c static variables
and hardware) so a private lock is sufficient to prevent races. This changes
only i386/amd64 while there are also isa_dma functions for ia64/sparc64.
Sparc64 are ones empty stubs and ia64 ones are unused as ia64 does not
have isa (says marcel).
This patch removes explicit locking of Giant from a few drivers (there
are some that requires this but lack ones - this patch fixes this) and
also removes the need for implicit locking of Giant from attach routines
where it's provided by newbus.

- This tunable can be set to -1 (default), 0 and 1. -1 is same as
current behavior, which automatically disable CLFLUSH on Intel CPUs
without CPUID_SS (should be occured on Xen only). You can specify 1

disabling CLFLUSH may reduce performance, you can try with setting 0
