A couple of internal functions used by malloc(9) and uma truncated
a size_t down to an int. This could cause any number of issues
(e.g. indefinite sleeps, memory corruption) if any kernel
subsystem tried to allocate 2GB or more through malloc. zfs would
attempt such an allocation when run on a system with 2TB or more
of RAM.
Note to self: When this is MFCed, sparc64 needs the same fix.

The vtophys() function is used to get the physical page address for
the virtually allocated frame buffers when a physically continuous

Fix an extremely subtle concurrency bug triggered by running on 32-thread
POWER8 systems. During thread switch, there was a very small window when
the stack pointer was set to the stack pointer of the outgoing thread, but
after the lock on that thread had already been released.
If, during that window, the outgoing thread were rescheduled on another CPU
and begin execution and an exception were taken on the original CPU, the
trap handler and the outgoing thread would simultaneously execute on the same
stack, causing memory corruption. Fix this by making sure to release the
old thread only after cpu_switch() is done with its stack.

this change is to improve concurrency:
- Drop global state stored in the shadow overflow page table (and all other
global state)
- Remove all global locks
- Use per-PTE lock bits to allow parallel page insertion
- Reconstruct state when requested for evicted PTEs instead of buffering
it during overflow
This drops total wall time for make buildworld on a 32-thread POWER8 system
by a factor of two and system time by a factor of three, providing performance
20% better than similarly clocked Core i7 Xeons per-core. Performance on
smaller SMP systems, where PMAP lock contention was not as much of an issue,
is nearly unchanged.

and POWER8. This instruction set unifies the 32 64-bit scalar floating
point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.
As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
from userland requires either newer GCC or clang.

Summary:
Currently, fan control is linear between the target temperature and max
temperature, which is far from ideal. This changes it to be proportional to the
distance between the current temperature and the two endpoints (target and max
temp). This also adds a hysteresis, so that fans keep going when the
temperature drops, for about 10 seconds, before slowing down.

const. On x86, even after the machine context is supposedly read into
the struct ucontext, lazy FPU state save code might only mark the FPU
data as hardware-owned. Later, set_fpcontext() needs to fetch the
state from hardware, modifying the *mcp.
The set_mcontext(9) is called from sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2)

*mcp out after the set_mcontext() call.
