linux_ioctl_(un)register_handler that allows other driver modules to
register ioctl handlers. The ioctl syscall implementation in each Linux
compat module iterates over the list of handlers and forwards the call to
the appropriate driver. Because the registration functions have the same
name in each module it is not possible for a driver to support both 32 and
64 bit linux compatibility.
Move the list of ioctl handlers to linux_common.ko so it is shared by
both Linux modules and all drivers receive both 32 and 64 bit ioctl calls
with one registration. These ioctl handlers normally forward the call
to the FreeBSD ioctl handler which can handle both 32 and 64 bit.
Keep the special COMPAT_LINUX32 ioctl handlers in linux.ko in a separate
list for now and let the ioctl syscall iterate over that list first.
Later, COMPAT_LINUX32 support can be added to the 64 bit ioctl handlers
via a runtime check for ILP32 like is done for COMPAT_FREEBSD32 and then
this separate list would disappear again. That is a much bigger effort
however and this commit is meant to be MFCable.
This enables linux64 support in x11/nvidia-driver*.

Avoid using DELAY() since it can try to use spin locks on CPUs without
a P-state invariant TSC. For cpu_lock_delay(), always use the TSC if
it exists (even if it is not P-state invariant) to delay for a

Add a new 'debugger_on_trap' knob separate from 'debugger_on_panic'
and make the calls to kdb_trap() in MD fatal trap handlers prior to
calling panic() conditional on this new knob instead of
'debugger_on_panic'. Disable the new knob by default. Developers who
wish to recover from a fatal fault by adjusting saved register state
and retrying the faulting instruction can still do so by enabling the
new knob. However, for the more common case this makes the user
experience for panics due to a fatal fault match the user experience
for other panics, e.g. 'c' in DDB will generate a crash dump and
reboot the system rather than being stuck in an infinite loop of fatal
fault messages and DDB prompts.

On some Intel devices BIOS does not properly reserve memory (called
"stolen memory") for the GPU. If the stolen memory is claimed by the
OS, functions that depend on stolen memory (like frame buffer
compression) can't be used.
A function called pci_early_quirks that is called before the virtual
memory system is started was added. In Linux, this PCI early quirks
function iterates through all PCI slots to check for any device that
require quirks. While this more generic solution is preferable I only
ported the Intel graphics specific parts because I think my
implementation would be too similar to Linux GPL'd solution after
looking at the Linux code too much.
The code regarding Intel graphics stolen memory was ported from
Linux. In the case of Intel graphics stolen memory this
pci_early_quirks will read the stolen memory base and size from north
bridge registers. The values are stored in global variables that is
later read by linuxkpi_gplv2. Linuxkpi stores these values in a
Linux-specific structure that is read by the drm driver.
Relevant linuxkpi code is here:
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/blob/drm-v4.16/linuxkpi/gplv2/src/linux_compat.c#L37
For now, only amd64 arch is suppor ted since that is the only arch
supported by the new drm drivers. I was told that Intel GPUs are
always located on 0:2:0 so these values are hard coded for now.
Note that the structure and early execution of the detection code is
not required in its current form, but we expect that the code will be
added shortly which fixes the potential BIOS bugs by reserving the
stolen range in phys_avail[]. This must be done as early as possible
to avoid conflicts with the potential usage of the memory in kernel.

Apparently AMD machines cannot tolerate this. This was uncovered by
r339386, where cache flush started really flushing the requested range.
Introduce pmap_mapdev_pciecfg(), which simply does not flush cache
comparing with pmap_mapdev(). It assumes that the MCFG region was
never accessed through the cacheable mapping, which is most likely
true for machine to boot at all.
Note that i386 does not need the change, since the architecture
handles access per-page due to the KVA shortage, and page remapping
already does not flush the cache.

The KPI allows to map very large contigous physical memory regions
into KVA, which are not covered by DMAP.
I see both with QEMU and with some real hardware started shipping, the
regions for NVDIMMs might be very far apart from the normal RAM, and
we expect that at least initial users of NVDIMM could install very
large amount of such memory. IMO it is not reasonable to extend DMAP
to cover that far-away regions both because it could overflow existing
4T window for DMAP in KVA, and because it costs in page table pages
allocations, for gap and for possibly unused NV RAM.
Also, KPI provides some special functionality for fast cache flushing
based on the knowledge of the NVRAM mapping use.

The VT-x VMCS only stores the base address of the GDTR and IDTR. As a

IDTR losing the smaller limits set in when the initial GDT is loaded
on each CPU during boot. Explicitly save and restore the full GDTR
and IDTR contents around VM entries and exits to restore the correct
limit.
Similarly, explicitly save and restore the LDT selector. VM exits
always clear the host LDTR as if the LDT was loaded with a NULL
selector and a userspace hypervisor is probably using a NULL selector
anyway, but save and restore the LDT explicitly just to be safe.

rep stos has a high startup time even on modern microarchitectures like

beneficial to go for streaming stores. Since those cannot be used without
extra penalty in the kernel I investigated performance impact of just
regular movs.
The patch below implements a very simple scheme: a 32-byte loop followed
by filling in the remainder of at most 31 bytes. It has a 256 breaking
point on which it falls back to rep stos. It provides a significant win
over the current primitive on several machines I tested (both Intel and
AMD). A 64-byte loop did not provide any benefit even for multiple of 64
sizes.

This reverts part of r333368. The attempt to clear DR6 was occuring
too soon as trapsignal() does not pause to let the debugger notice the
SIGTRAP and query DR6. The signal exchange does not occur until much
later during ast(). As a result, GDB was no longer recognizing
hardware breakpoints and watchpoints on x86.
In addition, any userland programs that want to inspect DR6 in a
SIGTRAP handler don't have a way to do this if we clear DR6 in the
exception handler.
Instead of relying on the kernel to clear DR6, debuggers will have to
explicitly clear it after a trace trap (which they needed to do on
older kernels anyway).

The former compiles to a single byte comparison loop, which breaks down even
