Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace

We used to allocate the domains 0-14 for userland, and leave the domain 15
for the kernel. Now supersections requires the use of domain 0, so we
switched the kernel domain to 0, and use 1-15 for userland.
How it's done currently, the kernel domain could be allocated for a
userland process.
So switch back to the previous way we did things, set the first available
domain to 0, and just add 1 to get the real domain number in the struct pmap.

The RAS implementation would set the end address, then the start
address. These were used by the kernel to restart a RAS sequence if
it was interrupted. When the thread switching code ran, it would
check these values and adjust the PC and clear them if it did.
However, there's a small flaw in this scheme. Thread T1, sets the end
address and gets preempted. Thread T2 runs and also does a RAS
operation. This resets end to zero. Thread T1 now runs again and
sets start and then begins the RAS sequence, but is preempted before
the RAS sequence executes its last instruction. The kernel code that
would ordinarily restart the RAS sequence doesn't because the PC isn't
between start and 0, so the PC isn't set to the start of the sequence.
So when T1 is resumed again, it is at the wrong location for RAS to
produce the correct results. This causes the wrong results for the
atomic sequence.
The window for the first race is 3 instructions. The window for the
second race is 5-10 instructions depending on the atomic operation.
This makes this failure fairly rare and hard to reproduce.
Mutexs are implemented in libthr using atomic operations. When the
above race would occur, a lock could get stuck locked, causing many
downstream problems, as you might expect.
Also, make sure to reset the start and end address when doing a syscall, or
a malicious process could set them before doing a syscall.

First, a file is mmap(2)ed and then mlock(2)ed. Later, it is truncated.
Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the
pages beyond the EOF are unmapped and freed. However, when the file is
mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count. This can be a mistake. Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of
wired, managed mappings. Previously, unmapping the pages destroys these
wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed. Moreover, when the vm
object is finally destroyed, the pages are leaked because they are still
wired. The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed. To do this, I introduce a new pmap
function pmap_page_wired_mappings() that returns the number of managed
mappings to the given physical page that are wired, and I use this
function in vm_object_page_remove().

support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

of pages don't sum to anywhere near the total number of pages on amd64.
This is for the most part because uma_small_alloc() pages have never been
counted as wired pages, like their kmem_malloc() brethren. They should
be. This changes fixes that.
It is no longer necessary for the page queues lock to be held to free
pages allocated by uma_small_alloc(). I removed the acquisition and
release of the page queues lock from uma_small_free() on amd64 and ia64
weeks ago. This patch updates the other architectures that have
uma_small_alloc() and uma_small_free().

Fix backward compatibility of the "old" (i.e. FreeBSD6) lseek
syscall. It was broken when a new lseek syscall was introduced.
The problem is that we need to swap the 32-bit td_retval values
for the __syscall indirect syscall when the actual syscall has
a 32-bit return value. Hence, we need to exclude lseek(2). And
this means the "old" lseek(2) as well -- which we didn't.
