- Read interrupt properties at bus enumeration time and store
it into global mapping table.
- At bus_activate_resource() time, given mapping entry is resolved and
connected to real interrupt source. A copy of mapping entry is attached
to given resource.
- At bus_setup_intr() time, mapping entry stored in resource is used
for delivery of requested interrupt configuration.
- For MSI/MSIX interrupts, mapping entry is created within
pci_alloc_msi()/pci_alloc_msix() call.
- For legacy PCI interrupts, mapping entry must be created within
pcib_route_interrupt() by pcib driver itself.

Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.
Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.
Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.
Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

promote memory as I am not sure all the demotion cases are handled, however
it is useful to implement pmap_page_set_memattr. This is used, for example,
when mapping uncached memory for bus_dma(9).
pmap_page_set_memattr needs to demote the DMAP region as on ARM we need to
ensure all mappings to the same physical address have the same attributes.

CloudABI executables already provide support for passing in vDSOs. This
functionality is used by the emulator for OS X to inject system call
handlers. On FreeBSD, we could use it to optimize calls to
gettimeofday(), etc.
Though I don't have any plans to optimize any system calls right now,
let's go ahead and already pass in a vDSO. This will allow us to
simplify the executables, as the traditional "syscall" shims can be
removed entirely. It also means that we gain more flexibility with
regards to adding and removing system calls.

On all the other architectures, this function can also be called on the
currently running thread. In this case, we shouldn't fix up the address
in the PCB, but also patch up the register itself. Otherwise it will not
become active and will simply become overwritten by the next switch.

between ACPI and FDT. This will be needed on machines with both, e.g. the
SoftIron Overdrive 3000. The kernel will accept one or more comma separated
values of either 'acpi' or 'fdt'. Any other values are skipped.
To set it the user can either set it on the loader command line, or
in loader.conf e.g. in loader.conf:
kern.cfg.order=acpi,fdt
This will try using ACPI then FDT. If none of the selected options work the
kernel tries to use one to get the serial console, then panics.

It turns out that this value is not used within the system call code
under normal conditions, except when using tracing tools like ktrace.
If we forget to set this value, it is set to random garbage. This may
cause ktrace to hang indefinitely, making it impossible to kill.

While it shares some code with the existing driver this has been modified
to work better with the intrng framework.
This has been tested on the ThunderX servers in the netperf cluster and has
been used to boot them for other testing, including DTrace and hwpmc.
With this we can use intrng on all supported arm64 platforms I was able to
test on. It is expected we will move to intrng soon, and disable the old
arm64 interrupt framework.
