Short description of the changes:
- attempt to retry some commands for which it is possible (read, query)
- always make a short sleep before checking EC status in polled mode
- periodically poll EC status in interrupt mode
- change logic for detecting broken interrupt delivery and falling back
to polled mode
- check that EC is ready for input before starting a new command, wait
if necessary

There has been no need to do that starting with ACPICA 20040427 as
AcpiEnableSubsystem() installs the handlers automatically.
Additionaly, explicitly calling AcpiInstallAddressSpaceHandler before
AcpiEnableSubsystem is not supported by ACPICA and leads to too early
execution of _REG methods in some DSDTs, which may result in problems.
Big thanks to Robert Moore of ACPICA/Intel for explaining the above.

ACPI specification sates that if P_LVL2_LAT > 100, then a system doesn't
support C2; if P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, then C3 is not supported.
But there are no such rules for Cx state data returned by _CST. If a
state is not supported it should not be included into the return
package. In other words, any latency value returned by _CST is valid,
it's up to the OS and/or user to decide whether to use it.

The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

are still bound to BSP. It confuses timer management logic in per-CPU mode
and may cause timer not being reloaded. Check such cases on interrupt
arival and reload timer to give system some more time to manage proper
binding.
- Add special check for case when time expires before being programmed.
This fixes interrupt loss and respectively timer death on attempt to
program very short interval. Increase minimal supported period to more
realistic value.
- Add support for hint.hpet.X.allowed_irqs tunable, allowing manually
specify which interrupts driver allowed to use. Unluckily, many BIOSes
program wrong allowed interrupts mask, so driver tries to stay on safe
side by not using unshareable ISA IRQs. This option gives control over
this limitation, allowing more per-CPU timers to be provided, when FSB
interrupts are not supported. Value of this tunable is bitmask.
- Do not use regular interrupts on virtual machines. QEMU and VirtualBox
do not support them properly, that may cause problems. Stay safe by default.
Same time both QEMU and VirtualBox work fine in legacy_route mode.
VirtualBox also works fine if manually specify allowed ISA IRQs with above.

HPET to steal IRQ0 from i8254 and IRQ8 from RTC timers. It can be suitable
for HPETs without FSB interrupts support, as it gives them two unshared
IRQs. It allows them to provide one per-CPU event timer on dual-CPU system,
that should be suitable for further tickless kernels.
To enable it, such lines may be added to /boot/loader.conf:
hint.atrtc.0.clock=0
hint.attimer.0.clock=0
hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=1
writing event timer drivers, for choosing best possible drivers by machine
independent code and for operating them to supply kernel with hardclock(),
statclock() and profclock() events in unified fashion on various hardware.
Infrastructure provides support for both per-CPU (independent for every CPU
core) and global timers in periodic and one-shot modes. MI management code
at this moment uses only periodic mode, but one-shot mode use planned for
later, as part of tickless kernel project.
For this moment infrastructure used on i386 and amd64 architectures. Other
archs are welcome to follow, while their current operation should not be
affected.
This patch updates existing drivers (i8254, RTC and LAPIC) for the new
order, and adds event timers support into the HPET driver. These drivers
have different capabilities:
LAPIC - per-CPU timer, supports periodic and one-shot operation, may
freeze in C3 state, calibrated on first use, so may be not exactly precise.
HPET - depending on hardware can work as per-CPU or global, supports
periodic and one-shot operation, usually provides several event timers.
i8254 - global, limited to periodic mode, because same hardware used also
as time counter.
RTC - global, supports only periodic mode, set of frequencies in Hz
limited by powers of 2.
Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders,
either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC.
User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls:
kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2.
If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to
replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second,
system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few
times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values,
set during initial setup.
measured interval as upper bound. It should be more precise then just
assuming hz/2. For idle CPU it should be quite precise, for busy - not
worse then before.
state lower than the lowest one supported by the current CPU. This closes
some races with changes to the hw.acpi.cpu_cx_lowest sysctl while Cx

As side effect, it potentially allows several HPETs to be attached.
Use first of them for timecounting, rest (if ever present) could later
be used as event sources.
