- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
to nesting level 0. This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
cpu_critical_enter/exit. MI code such as device drivers and spin
mutexes use the MI wrappers. Note that since the MI wrappers store
the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().
Tested on: i386, alpha
- Axe inlvtlb_ok as it was completely redundant with smp_active.
- Remove references to non-existent variable and non-existent file
in i386/include/smp.h.
- Don't perform initializations local to each CPU while holding the
ap boot lock on i386 while an AP bootstraps itself.
- Reorganize the AP startup code some to unify the latter half of the
functions to bring an AP up. Eventually this might be broken out into
a MI function in subr_smp.c.
a major slowdown, and re-enable stats overflow interrupts.
For future reference, the bug was in our code, and not
some bug in the 3com chips.

superblock that is already set up to handle pointer types. This
fixes an accidental change in the superblock size on 64-bit platforms
caused by revision 1.24.
The description field is unused in -stable, so the MFC there is equivalent
to a comment. It can be done at any time, i am just setting a reminder
in 45 days when hopefully we are past 4.5-release.

variables. Use the -d flag in sysctl(8) to see this information.
Possible extensions to sysctl:
+ report variables that do not have a description
+ given a name, report the oid it maps to.
Note to developers: have a look at your code, there are a number of
variables which do not have a description.
Note to developers: do we want this in 4.5 ? It is a very small change
and very useful for documentation purposes.

"skimming thru" the printcap file looking for some common mistakes that
people make. These are the kinds of mistakes where the printcap file
probably looks correct to human eyes, but is wrong in some subtle way
which causes a problem in some queue definitions. The program treats
these as "warnings" not "errors".
Note that I'm flexible on the m.f.c. schedule, if people would rather
this waited until after 4.5-release.
