This both avoids some dependencies on xinstall.host and allows
bootstrapping on older releases to work due to lack of at least 'install -l'
support.

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

performance.
- Always free to the alloc bucket if there is space. This gives LIFO
allocation order to improve hot-cache performance. This also allows
for zones with a single bucket per-cpu rather than a pair if the entire
working set fits in one bucket.
- Enable per-cpu caches of buckets. To prevent recursive bucket
allocation one bucket zone still has per-cpu caches disabled.
- Pick the initial bucket size based on a table driven maximum size
per-bucket rather than the number of items per-page. This gives
more sane initial sizes.
- Only grow the bucket size when we face contention on the zone lock, this
causes bucket sizes to grow more slowly.
- Adjust the number of items per-bucket to account for the header space.
This packs the buckets more efficiently per-page while making them
not quite powers of two.
- Eliminate the per-zone free bucket list. Always return buckets back
to the bucket zone. This ensures that as zones grow into larger
bucket sizes they eventually discard the smaller sizes. It persists
fewer buckets in the system. The locking is slightly trickier.
- Only switch buckets in zalloc, not zfree, this eliminates pathological
cases where we ping-pong between two buckets.
- Ensure that the thread that fills a new bucket gets to allocate from
it to give a better upper bound on allocation time.

dynamic memory allocation to hold per-CPU memory types data (sized to
mp_maxid for UMA, and to mp_maxcpus for malloc to match the kernel).
That fixes libmemstat with arbitrary large MAXCPU values and therefore
eliminates MEMSTAT_ERROR_TOOMANYCPUS error type.

cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

This has proven to be very useful in out of memory situations when
it is not known why systems have become sluggish or fail in odd ways.

but then sizes the containing data structure at run-time to make room
for per-cpu cache data. Modify libmemstat to separately allocate a
buffer to hold per-cpu cache data, sized based on the run-time mp_maxid
variable when using libkvm to access UMA data. This avoids reading
invalid cache data from beyond the end of the uma_zone data structure
on the stack, which can result in invalid statistics and/or reads from
invalid kernel addresses.
