on the Itanium2 system I have when we use up *all* of the initial 256MB
direct mapped region before we are ready to dynamically expand it.
The machine that I have has 4 cpus and a very big hole in the middle.
This makes the bogus '(last_address - first_address) / PAGE_SIZE'
calculations especially dangerous and caused many millions of initial
PV/PTE's to be preallocated.

we just have to deal with the kstack when told to. We do not have a
UMA-managed cache for the proc struct and its associated upage yet. So,
go back to the old lazy mechanism. Note that if UMA destroys pages that
used to contain proc structures, we'll lose the corresponding upage
forever. (zones never did this - once a page was allocated, it stayed
attached to the proc zone forever)

While adding this to exception_save and exception_restore, it was hard
to find a good place to put the instructions. The code sequence was
sufficiently arbitrarily ordered that the density was low (roughly 67%).
No explicit bundling was used.
Thus, I rewrote the functions to optimize for density (close to 80% now),
and added explicit bundles and nop instructions. The immediate operand
on the nop instruction has been incremented with each instance, to make
debugging a bit easier when looking at recurring patterns. Redundant
stops have been removed as much as possible. Future optimizations can
focus more on performance. A well-placed lfetch can make all the
difference here!
Also, the FRAME_Fxx defines in frame.h were mostly bogus. FRAME_F10 to

the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be

will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.

For simplicity, we create an OPD for the IPLT relocations as well and
simply fill the user provided function descriptor from the OPD. Since
the the official descriptors are unique, this has no bad side effects.
Note that we ignore the addend for FPTR relocations, but use the
addend for IPLT relocations as an offset to the function address.
This commit allows us to load and relocate modules and modules appear
to work correctly, although we probably need to make sure that we set
GP correctly in all cases when we have inter-module calls. This
especially applies to assembly coded functions that have cross module

This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
