Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
the boot parameters from initarm first thing. parse_boot_param parses
the boot arguments and converts them to the /boot/loader metadata the
rest of the kernel uses. parse_boot_param is a weak alias to
fake_preload_metadata, which all the platforms use now, but may become
more extensive in the future.
Since it is a weak symbol, specific boards may define their own
parse_boot_param to interface to custom boot loaders.

structure with the first 4 registers to allow a wider range of boot
loaders to work. Future commits will make use of this to centralize
support for the different loaders.
It seems that "info as" is not much precise on what expect by pseudo-op

sintrcnt/sintrnames which are symbols containing the size of the 2

- For amd64/i386 remove the storage of intr* stuff from assembly files.
This area can be widely improved by applying the same to other
architectures and likely finding an unified approach among them and
move the whole code to be MI. More work in this area is expected to
happen fairly soon.

DPCPU area was not properly mapped into kernel VA space, which caused page
fault on the first DPCPU access. This patch fixes the problem by mapping DPCPU
area into kernel VA space.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

the implementation can guarantee forward progress in the event of
a stuck interrupt or interrupt storm. This is especially critical
for fast interrupt handlers, as they can cause a hard hang in that
case. When first called, arm_get_next_irq() is passed -1.

for better structure.
Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have
been called <sys/calendar.h>, but unless and until we need the name,
the repocopy can wait.
In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days,
timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that
is theoretically a matter for userland only.
Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems
store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally
track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local
timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>
<sys/time.h> on the other hand, deals with time_t, timeval, timespec
and so on. These know only seconds and fractions thereof.
Move inittodr() and resettodr() prototypes to <sys/time.h>.
Retain the names as it is one of the few surviving PDP/VAX references.
Move startrtclock() to <machine/clock.h> on relevant platforms, it
is a MD call between machdep.c/clock.c. Remove references to it
elsewhere.
Remove a lot of unnecessary <sys/clock.h> includes.
Move the machdep.disable_rtc_set sysctl to subr_rtc.c where it belongs.
XXX: should be kern.disable_rtc_set really, it's not MD.

silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.
As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).

it obtained through the uart_class structure. This allows us
to declare the uart_class structure as weak and as such allows
us to reference it even when it's not compiled-in.
It also allows is to get the uart_ops structure by name, which
makes it possible to implement the dt tag handling in uart_getenv().
The side-effect of all this is that we're using the uart_class
structure more consistently which means that we now also have
access to the size of the bus space block needed by the hardware
when we map the bus space, eliminating any hardcoding.
that can be used to check whether receive data is ready, i.e. whether
the subsequent call of uart_poll() should return a char, and unlike
uart_poll() doesn't actually receive data.
- Remove the device-specific implementations of uart_poll() and implement
uart_poll() in terms of uart_getc() and the newly added uart_rxready()
in order to minimize code duplication.
- In sunkbd(4) take advantage of uart_rxready() and use it to implement
the polled mode part of sunkbd_check() so we don't need to buffer a
potentially read char in the softc.
- Fix some mis-indentation in sunkbd_read_char().

Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs

do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.

Technically speaking it's not required to do it, has the data and the
instruction cache have been disabled in _start(). However, it may change
