that the virtual machine monitor has enabled machine check exceptions.
Unfortunately, on AMD Family 10h processors the machine check hardware
has a bug (Erratum 383) that can result in a false machine check exception
when a superpage promotion occurs. Thus, I am disabling superpage
promotion when the FreeBSD kernel is running as a guest operating system
on an AMD Family 10h processor.

shared and generalized between our current amd64, i386 and pc98.
This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.

Now all contiguous regions returned from bus-dma will be aligned to the
alignment constraint and all but the last region are guaranteed to be
a multiple of the alignment in length. This also means that the relative
alignment of two adjacent bytes in the I/O stream have a difference of 1
even if they are not physically contiguous.
The old code, when needing to perform a copy in order to align data, only
copied the amount of data needed to reach the next page boundary. This
often left an unaligned end to the segment. Drivers such as Xen's blkfront
can't deal with such segments.
The downside to this approach is that, once an unaligned region is encountered,
the remainder of the I/O will be bounced. However, bouncing should be rare.
It is typically caused by non-performance critical userland programs that
don't bother to align their I/O buffers (e.g. bsdlabel). In-kernel I/O
buffers are always aligned to at least a page boundary.

This header file uses __packed, without including <sys/cdefs.h>. This
means it cannot be used in the way described in sysarch(3) by only
including <machine/sysarch.h>.
This patch basically gives us the best of both worlds. Instead of
forcing the compiler to emulate GNU-style inline semantics even though
we're using ISO C99, it will only use GNU-style inlining when the
compiler is configured that way (__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__).

syscall arguments are collected before ptracestop() is called. As a
consequence, debugger cannot modify syscall or its arguments.
For i386, amd64 and ia32 on amd64 MD syscall(), reread syscall number
and arguments after ptracestop(), if debugger modified anything in the
process environment. Since procfs stopeven requires number of syscall
arguments in p_xstat, this cannot be solved by moving stop/trace point
before argument fetching.
Move the code to read arguments into separate function
fetch_syscall_args() to avoid code duplication. Note that ktrace point
for modified syscall is intentionally recorded twice, once with original
arguments, and second time with the arguments set by debugger.
PT_TO_SCX stop is executed after cpu_syscall_set_retval() already.

Remove __gnu89_inline.
Now that we use C99 almost everywhere, just use C99-style in the pmap
code. Since the pmap code is the only consumer of __gnu89_inline, remove
it from cdefs.h as well. Because the flag was only introduced 17 months
ago, I don't expect any problems.

It was backed out, because it prevented us from building kernels using a
7.x compiler. Now that most people use 8.x, there is nothing that holds
us back. Even if people run 7.x, they should be able to build a kernel
if they run `make kernel-toolchain' or `make buildworld' first.
LAPIC may lead to aliasing for softclock and profclock because frequencies
are sized in order to fit mainly hardclock.
atrtc used to take care of the softclock and profclock and it does still
do, if the LAPIC can't handle the clocks properly.
Revert the change when the LAPIC started taking charge of all three of
them and let atrtc handle softclock and profclock if not explicitly
requested. Such request can be made setting != 0 the new tunable
machdep.lapic_allclocks or if the new device ATPIC is not present
within the i386 kernel config (atrtc is linked to atpic presence).

I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.
Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

Note that neither arm nor mips have the Makefile there, thus
essentially not (yet) supporting LINT. This would enable them

This is a hack of doing this and keeping it in a separate commit
