of pages don't sum to anywhere near the total number of pages on amd64.
This is for the most part because uma_small_alloc() pages have never been
counted as wired pages, like their kmem_malloc() brethren. They should
be. This changes fixes that.
It is no longer necessary for the page queues lock to be held to free
pages allocated by uma_small_alloc(). I removed the acquisition and
release of the page queues lock from uma_small_free() on amd64 and ia64
weeks ago. This patch updates the other architectures that have
uma_small_alloc() and uma_small_free().

o Revamp the PIC I/F to only abstract the PIC hardware. The
resource handling has been moved to nexus, where it belongs.
o Include EOI and MASK+EOI methods to the PIC I/F in support of
INTR_FILTER.
o With the allocation of interrupt resources and setup of
interrupt handlers in the common platform code we can delay
talking to the PIC hardware after enumeration of all devices.
Introduce a call to powerpc_intr_enable() in configure_final()
to achieve that and have powerpc_setup_intr() only program the
PIC when !cold.
o As a consequence of the above, remove all early_attach() glue
from the OpenPIC and Heathrow PIC drivers and have them
register themselves when they're found during enumeration.
o Decouple the interrupt vector from the interrupt request line.
Allocate vectors increasingly so that they can be used for
the intrcnt index as well. Extend the Heathrow PIC driver to
translate between IRQ and vector. The OpenPIC driver already
has the support for vectors in hardware.

syscall. It was broken when a new lseek syscall was introduced.
The problem is that we need to swap the 32-bit td_retval values
for the __syscall indirect syscall when the actual syscall has
a 32-bit return value. Hence, we need to exclude lseek(2). And
this means the "old" lseek(2) as well -- which we didn't.

Previously it didn't honor parent dma tag's restrictions such that
an invalid dma segment could be passed to device. The driver for the
device may panic in sanity check routine for the dma segment or may
produce unexpected results. I have no idea how it could ever have
worked before.

This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

- Rename PCPU_LAZY_INC into PCPU_INC
- Add the PCPU_ADD interface which just does an add on the pcpu member
given a specific value.
Note that for most architectures PCPU_INC and PCPU_ADD are not safe.
This is a point that needs some discussions/work in the next days.

ithread wrapper. In this case (and just in this case), the filter
wrapper could ask the system to schedule the ithread and mask the
interrupt source if the wrapped handler is composed of just an ithread
handler: modify the "old" interrupt code to make it support
this situation, while the "new" interrupt code is already ok.

VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE depending on whether the physical address space is
densely or sparsely populated with memory. The effect of this
definition is to determine which of two implementations of
vm_page_array and PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() is used. The legacy
implementation is obtained by defining VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE, and a new
implementation that trades off time for space is obtained by defining
VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE. For now, all architectures except for ia64 and
sparc64 define VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE. Defining VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on ia64
allows the entirety of my Itanium 2's memory to be used. Previously,
only the first 1 GB could be used. Defining VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on
sparc64 allows USIIIi-based systems to boot without crashing.
