creation of large page mappings in the pmap, it can provide modest
performance benefits. In particular, for a "buildworld" on a 2x 1GHz
Ultrasparc IIIi it reduced the wall clock time by 2.2% and the system
time by 12.6%.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
contents of the ones that were not empty were stale and unused.
- Now that <machine/mutex.h> no longer exists, there is no need to allow it
to override various helper macros in <sys/mutex.h>.
- Rename various helper macros for low-level operations on mutexes to live
in the _mtx_* or __mtx_* namespaces. While here, change the names to more
closely match the real API functions they are backing.
- Drop support for including <sys/mutex.h> in assembly source files.

that may or may not have Open Firmware.
It seems RTL8169/RTL8168/RTL810xE has a kind of interrupt
moderation mechanism but it is not documented at all. The magic
value dramatically reduced number of interrupts without noticeable
performance drops so apply it to all RTL8169/RTL8169 controllers.
Vendor's FreeBSD driver also applies it to RTL810xE controllers but
their Linux driver explicitly cleared the register, so do not
enable interrupt moderation for RTL810xE controllers.
While I'm here sort 8169 specific registers.

o) Fix enumeration of PHY addresses on the MR-955.
o) Parse link state for the MR-730 using the Broadcom PHY support in the SDK.
It's not clear that this is entirely-correct, but it seems to work. Since
this board uses a BCM5482S, this may mean that we work correctly for copper
but not SFI, which is untested.
- Register APIC enumerators at SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1 instead of SI_SUB_CPU - 1.
- Probe CPUs at SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1. This allows i386 to set a truly
accurate mp_maxid value rather than always setting it to MAXCPU - 1.

acpi.ko could always include the MADT parsing code and still link with a
kernel that did not include 'device apic'.

register local APIC errors during boot on a CPU that doesn't support those

There were a couple of attempts in the past to reduce it since it
took more than 1ms. Because mii_tick() periodically polls link
status, waiting more than 1ms for each GMII register access was
overkill. Unfortunately all previous attempts were failed with
various ways on different controllers.
This time, add additional 20us dealy at the end of GMII register
access which seems to requirement of all RealTek controllers to
issue next GMII register access request. This is the same way what
Linux does.
ensure that grow_amount is a multiple of the page size. Otherwise, the
kernel may crash in swap_reserve_by_uid() on HEAD and FreeBSD 8.x, and
produce a core file with a missing stack on FreeBSD 7.x.
