calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined

Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for

- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

1.3 of Intelб╝ Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture
Specification. The Extended Context and PASIDs from the rev. 2.2 are
not supported, but I am not aware of any released hardware which
implements them. Code does not use queued invalidation, see comments
for the reason, and does not provide interrupt remapping services.
Code implements the management of the guest address space per domain
and allows to establish and tear down arbitrary mappings, but not
partial unmapping. The superpages are created as needed, but not
promoted. Faults are recorded, fault records could be obtained
programmatically, and printed on the console.
Implement the busdma(9) using DMARs. This busdma backend avoids
bouncing and provides security against misbehaving hardware and driver
bad programming, preventing leaks and corruption of the memory by wild
DMA accesses.
By default, the implementation is compiled into amd64 GENERIC kernel
but disabled; to enable, set hw.dmar.enable=1 loader tunable. Code is
written to work on i386, but testing there was low priority, and
driver is not enabled in GENERIC. Even with the DMAR turned on,
individual devices could be directed to use the bounce busdma with the
hw.busdma.pci<domain>:<bus>:<device>:<function>.bounce=1 tunable. If
DMARs are capable of the pass-through translations, it is used,
otherwise, an identity-mapping page table is constructed.
The driver was tested on Xeon 5400/5500 chipset legacy machine,
Haswell desktop and E5 SandyBridge dual-socket boxes, with ahci(4),
ata(4), bce(4), ehci(4), mfi(4), uhci(4), xhci(4) devices. It also
works with em(4) and igb(4), but there some fixes are needed for
drivers, which are not committed yet. Intel GPUs do not work with
DMAR (yet).
Many thanks to John Baldwin, who explained me the newbus integration;

Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
early in system startup.
- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
interrupt delivery infrastructure.
- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
and HVM guests.
- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
thread.
- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
be used to optimize MSI.

into threads each processing queue in a single domain. The structure
of the pagedaemons and queues is kept intact, most of the changes come
from the need for code to find an owning page queue for given page,
calculated from the segment containing the page.
The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.
The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.
