compiler that these functions change the memory that these functions

in the arm __swp() and sparc64 casa() and casax() functions is actually
being used as an input and output and not just the value of the register
that points to the memory location. This was the underlying source of
the mbuf refcount problems on sparc64 a while back. For arm this should be
a nop because __swp() has a constraint to clobber all memory which can
probably be removed now.

Kernel toolchain busted on: arm
- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).
- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
PMC implementations across different architectures.
Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.
- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts
every context switch), -R (print log file).
- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility
in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.
- bug fixes & documentation.

In a few days, I'll commit changes to the MI code to take advantage of thse
sepration (after I've made sure that these changes don't break anything in
the main tree, I've tested in my trees, but you never know...).

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

sys/bus_dma.h instead of being copied in every single arch. This slightly
reorders a flag that was specific to AXP and thus changes the ABI there.
The interface still relies on bus_space definitions found in <machine/bus.h>
so it cannot be included on its own yet, but that will be fixed at a later
date. Add an MD <machine/bus_dma.h> for ever arch for consistency and to
allow for future MD augmentation of the API. sparc64 makes heavy use of
this right now due to its different bus_dma implemenation.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into

By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on

ARM_TP_ADDRESS, where the tp will be stored. On CPUs that support it, a cache
line will be allocated and locked for this address, so that it will never go
to RAM. On CPUs that does not, a page is allocated for it (it will be a bit
slower, and is wrong for SMP, but should be fine for UP).
The tp is still stored in the mdthread struct, and at each context switch,
ARM_TP_ADDRESS gets updated.
