When poll() is called via netmap, txsync is initially called,
and if there are no available buffers to reclaim, it waits for the driver
to notify of new buffers. Since the TX IRQ is generally not used in iflib
drivers, this ends up causing a timeout.
Work around this by having the reclaim DELAY(1) if it's initially unable
to reclaim anything, then schedule the tx task, which will spin by
continuously rescheduling itself until some buffers are reclaimed. In
general, the delay is enough to allow some buffers to be reclaimed, so
spinning is minimized.

There is no need to try to resume it after each smaller operations
(putchar, cursor_position, copy, fill).
The resume function already checks if the timer is armed before doing
anything, but it uses an atomic cmpset which is expensive. And resuming
the timer at the end of input processing is enough.
While here, we also skip timer resume if the input is for another
windows than the currently displayed one. I.e. if `ttyv0` is currently
displayed, any changes to `ttyv1` shouldn't resume the timer (which
would refresh `ttyv0`).
By doing the same benchmark as r333669, I get:
* vt(4), before r333669: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 760 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
... to process input, instead of inside each smaller operations such as
appending a character or moving the cursor forward.
In other words, before we were doing (oversimplified):
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
vtterm_cursor_position()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
Now, we are doing:
vtterm_pre_input()
VTBUF_LOCK()
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
vtterm_cursor_position()
vtterm_post_input()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
The situation was even worse when the vtterm_copy() and vtterm_fill()
callbacks were involved.
The new callbacks are:
* struct terminal_class->tc_pre_input()
* struct terminal_class->tc_post_input()
They are called in teken_input(), surrounding the while() loop.
The goal is to improve input processing speed of vt(4). As a benchmark,
here is the time taken to write a text file of 360 000 lines (26 MiB) on
`ttyv0`:
* vt(4), unmodified: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 1200 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
This is on a Haswell laptop with a GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel.
At the same time, the locking is changed in the vt_flush() function
which is responsible to draw the text on screen. So instead of
(indirectly) using VTBUF_LOCK() just to read and reset the dirty area
of the internal buffer, the lock is held for about the entire function,
including the drawing part.
The change is mostly visible while content is scrolling fast: before,
lines could appear garbled while scrolling because the internal buffer
was accessed without locks (once the scrolling was finished, the output
was correct). Now, the scrolling appears correct.
In the end, the locking model is closer to what syscons(4) does.

This change updates arm, arm64 and mips achitectures. Additionally, it
removes redundant checks for kdb_active where it already results in
kdb_reenter() and adds kdb_reenter() calls where they were missing.
Some architectures check the return value of kdb_trap(), but some don't.
I haven't changed any of that.
Some trap handling routines have a return code. I am not sure if I
provided correct ones for returns after kdb_reenter(). kdb_reenter
should never return unless kdb_jmpbufp is NULL for some reason.
Only compile tested for all affected architectures. There can be bugs
resulting from my poor understanding of architecture specific details.

The Intel CPU "Platform Id" is a 3-bit integer reported by a given MSR.
Intel microcode updates have an 8-bit field to indicate Platform Id
compatibility - one bit in the mask for each of the possible Platform Id
values. To simplify interpretation, report the Platform Id mask also as
a list.
freebsd-update depends on phttpget from portsnap. We could move phttpget

Intel now releases microcode updates in files named after
<family>-<model>-<stepping>. In some cases a single file may include
microcode for multiple Platform Ids for the same family, model, and
stepping. Our current microcode update tooling (/usr/sbin/cpucontrol)
only processes the first microcode update in the file.
This tool splits combined files into individual files with one microcode
update each, named as
<family>-<model>-<stepping>.<platform_id_mask>.
Adding this to tools/ for experimentation and testing. In the future
we'll want to have cpucontrol or other tooling work directly with the
Intel-provided microcode files.

The NFSv4 protocol requires that the server only allow reclaim of state
and not issue any new open/lock state for a grace period after booting.
The NFSv4.0 protocol required this grace period to be greater than the
lease duration (over 2minutes). For NFSv4.1, the client tells the server
that it has done reclaiming state by doing a ReclaimComplete operation.
If all NFSv4 clients are NFSv4.1, the grace period can end once all the
clients have done ReclaimComplete, shortening the time period considerably.
This patch does this. If there are any NFSv4.0 mounts, the grace period
will still be over 2minutes.
This change is only an optimization and does not affect correct operation.

The idea is to calibrate the LAPIC timer just once and only on boot,
given that [at present] the timer constants are global and shared
between all processors.
My primary motivation is to fix a panic that can happen when dynamically
switching to lapic timer. The panic is caused by a recursion on
et_hw_mtx when printing the calibration results to console. See the
review for the details of the panic.
Also, the code should become slightly simpler and easier to read. The
previous code was racy too. Multiple processors could start calibrating
the global constants concurrently, although that seems to have been
benign.
