and so special-casing was introduced to provide extra procfs privilege
to the kmem group. With the advent of non-setgid kmem ps, this code
is no longer required, and in fact, can is potentially harmful as it
allocates privilege to a gid that is increasingly less meaningful.
Knowledge of specific gid's in kernel is also generally bad precedent,
as the kernel security policy doesn't distinguish gid's specifically,
only uid 0.
This commit removes reference to kmem in procfs, both in terms of
access control decisions, and the applying of gid kmem to the
/proc/*/mem file, simplifying the associated code considerably.
Processes are still permitted to access the mem file based on
the debugging policy, so ps -e still works fine for normal
processes and use.

identically to kernel debugging support, right down to poor
choice of make variable names.
1) allocate fewer buckets
2) when failing to allocate swap zone, keep reducing the zone by
a third rather than a half in order to reduce the chance of
allocating way too little.
I also moved around some code for readability.

This paniced my one of my machines one time too many :-( and there is
no sign of a solution in the pipeline. The deltas are still easily
available in cvs. The problem is that if the parent has been swapped
out, the child process cannot grope around in the parent's UPAGES to
see the sigact[] array or it will fault. This probably is a showstopper
for this implementation anyway.
is the diagnostics register at offset 0x93. When bit 5 is set in this
register, bits 4-7 in ExCA register 0x5 being 0000 are required for
pci interrupt routing. When it is clear, then bit 4 of ExCA register
0x3 is used to enable it.
The only other issue is that when you route interrupts this way, you
must read ExCA register 0x4 in order to clear the interrupt, else you
get an interrupt storm.
Deal with this requirement by setting things up. It is believed that
this won't hurt other chipsets, but other chipsets may require their

fit in a local array. Usually it frees the array when finished,
but if it jumps to the 'again' label and the new list does fit in
the local array then it can forget to free a previously malloc'd
M_TEMP memory.
Move the free() up a line so that it frees any previously allocated
memory whether or not it needs to malloc a new array.

permits its usage in per-CPU initialization loops (for an example, check
out subr_mbuf.c).
Further, on a UP system, make mb_alloc always use the first per-CPU
container, regardless of cpuid (i.e. remove reliability on cpuid in the
UP case).

asleep() and await() functions split the functionality of msleep() up into
two halves. Only the asleep() half (which is what puts the process on the
sleep queue) actually needs the lock usually passed to msleep() held to
prevent lost wakeups. await() does not need the lock held, so the lock
can be released prior to calling await() and does not need to be passed in
to the await() function. Typical usage of these functions would be as
follows:
mtx_lock(&foo_mtx);
... do stuff ...
asleep(&foo_cond, PRIxx, "foowt", hz);
...
mtx_unlock&foo_mtx);
...
await(-1, -1);
