UPAGES to lots more places. The end result is that we can double
the kernel stack size with 'options UPAGES=4' etc.
This is mainly being done for the benefit of a MFC to RELENG_4 at some
point. -current doesn't really need this so much since each interrupt
runs on its own kstack.
then one can restart from a panic by resetting the panicstr variable to
NULL. This commit conditionalizes the previously committed functionality
on this variable. It also removes the __dead2 attribute from the panic()
function so that when one continues from a panic() the behavior will
be predictable.

one did 'w 0 0' in ddb, the longjmp in ddb inside of trap_fatal() would
result in Giant being held (or recursed one level deeper) which led to
problems later on. You can now drop to teh debugger, do 'w 0 0', and
continue w/o a problem.

enable if they want it. This patch introduces a hw.pci.enable_pcibios
tunable for those people. This does not impact the pcibios interrupt
routing at all.

some bios vendors took it apon themselves to "censor" the
host->pci bridges from PCIBIOS callers, even when the caller
explicitly asks for them. This includes certain Compaq machines
(eg: DL360) and some laptops.
If we detect this, shut down pcibios and revert to using IO
port bashing.
Under -current, apcica does a better job anyway.
information. The default limits only effect machines with > 1GB of ram
and can be overriden with two new kernel conf variables VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX
and VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX, or with loader variables kern.maxswzone and
kern.maxbcache. This has the effect of leaving more KVM available for
sizing NMBCLUSTERS and 'maxusers' and should avoid tripups where a sysad
adds memory to a machine and then sees the kernel panic on boot due to
running out of KVM.
Also change the default swap-meta auto-sizing calculation to allocate half
of what it was previously allocating. The prior defaults were way too high.
Note that we cannot afford to run out of swap-meta structures so we still
stay somewhat conservative here.
but it's better than the buggy behavior we have now. If we contigmalloc()
buffers in bus_dmamem_alloc(), then we must configfree() them in
bus_dmamem_free(). Trying to free() them is wrong, and will cause
a panic (at least, it does on the alpha.)
I tripped over this when trying to kldunload my busdma-ified if_rl

traps, so that ddb can keep control (almost) no matter how it is
entered. This breaks time-critical interrupts while the system is
stopped in ddb, but I haven't noticed any significant problems except
that applications become confused about the time. Lost time will be
adjusted for later. Anyway, the half-baked disabling of interrupts in
Debugger() gives the same problems for the usual way of entering ddb.

I want the fix to apply to ddb.
- fix segment limit mis-calculation for GCODE_SEL, GDATA_SEL, GPRIV_SEL,
LUCODE_SEL and LUDATA_SEL.
- move `loader(8) metadata' related printf() after cninit().
- use atop macro (address to pages) for segment limit calculation
instead of i386_btop macro (bytes to pages).
- fix style bugs for the declarations of ints.

flags with interrupts disabled to see if we should call ast() during
doreti. This was mostly submitted by Bruce, but his original patch did
the looping in ast() in assembly rather than in the ast() function itself.
Once we've actually called into the ast() function, it's cheaper to just
loop inside the function rather than returning from the function,
performing the check, and then calling the function again. However, we
can optimize the first check to avoid calling the function at all.
Other architectures may choose to implement this optimization if they
wish but it is not required for correct operation.

the process of exiting the kernel. The ast() function now loops as long
as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set. It returns with
preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an
interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user
mode.
- Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we
do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks. This also closes a
problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic
due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks.
- Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(),
clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations
on p_sflag.
- Fix up locking with sched_lock some. In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock
to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting
PS_OWEUPC. In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing
PS_OWEUPC. We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag.
- Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly.

- Fix netstat(1) and systat(1) to treat the per-CPU stats area as a sparse

This allows us to properly boot with certain CPUs disactivated. However, if
we later decide to re-activate said CPUs, we will barf until we decide to
implement CPU spinon/spinoff callback hooks to allow for said CPUs' per-CPU
