I have found that it is not only desktop CPUs problem. but mobile also.
Probably AP on laptops just started initially at lower frequency, hiding
the problem.
Disable frequency validation by default, for systems with more then one CPU,
until we can implement it properly. It looks like making more harm now then
benefits. Add 'hw.est.strict' loader tunable to control it.
Now my iXsystems Invincibook is able to run at 800MHz lowest frequency,
instead of 1200MHz before, when 800MHz was incorrectly reported invalid.
CPU core, only pair of them. As result, both cores are running on highest
one of requested frequencies, and that is reported by status register.
Such behavior confuses frequency validation logic, as it runs on only
one core, as SMP is not yet launched, making EIST completely unusable.
To workaround this, add check for validation result. If we haven't found
at least two usable frequencies, then probably we are looking bad and have
to trust data provided by BIOS as-is.
functions are selfcontained (ie. they touch only isa_dma.c static variables
and hardware) so a private lock is sufficient to prevent races. This changes
only i386/amd64 while there are also isa_dma functions for ia64/sparc64.
Sparc64 are ones empty stubs and ia64 ones are unused as ia64 does not
have isa (says marcel).
This patch removes explicit locking of Giant from a few drivers (there
are some that requires this but lack ones - this patch fixes this) and
also removes the need for implicit locking of Giant from attach routines
where it's provided by newbus.

There is no need to use the lower 4 bits of the unit number to store the
device type number. Just use 0 and 1 to distinguish them. devfs also
guarantees that there can never be an open call on a device that has a
unit number different to 0 and 1, so there is no need to check for this
in open().
partially fixed on amd64 earlier. Rather than forcing linux_mmap_common()
to use a 32-bit offset, have it accept a 64-bit file offset. This offset
is then passed to the real mmap() call. Rather than inventing a structure
to hold the normal linux_mmap args that has a 64-bit offset, just pass
each of the arguments individually to linux_mmap_common() since that more
closes matches the existing style of various kern_foo() functions.

the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).
The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.
handlers. This is primarily intended as a way to allow devices that use
multiple interrupts (e.g. MSI) to meaningfully distinguish the various
interrupt handlers.
- Add a new BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method to the bus interface to associate
a description with an active interrupt handler setup by BUS_SETUP_INTR.
It has a default method (bus_generic_describe_intr()) which simply passes
the request up to the parent device.
- Add a bus_describe_intr() wrapper around BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() that supports
printf(9) style formatting using var args.
- Reserve MAXCOMLEN bytes in the intr_handler structure to hold the name of
an interrupt handler and copy the name passed to intr_event_add_handler()
into that buffer instead of just saving the pointer to the name.
- Add a new intr_event_describe_handler() which appends a description string
to an interrupt handler's name.
- Implement support for interrupt descriptions on amd64 and i386 by having
the nexus(4) driver supply a custom bus_describe_intr method that invokes
a new intr_describe() MD routine which in turn looks up the associated
interrupt event and invokes intr_event_describe_handler().

- Fix the style for memory barriers on amd64.
[1] Reported by: Paul B. Mahol <onemda at gmail dot com>
memory barriers should also ensure that the compiler doesn't reorder paths
where they are used. GCC, however, does that aggressively, even in
presence of volatile operands. The most reliable way GCC offers for avoid
instructions reordering is clobbering "memory" even if that is
theoretically an heavy-weight operation, flushing the content of all
the registers and forcing reload of them (We could rely, however, on
gcc DTRT by just understanding the purpose as this is a well-known
pattern for many modern operating-systems).
Not all our memory barriers, right now, clobber memory for GCC-like
compilers. The most notable cases are IA32 and amd64 where the memory
barrier are treacted the same as normal atomic instructions.
Fix this by offering the possibility to implement atomic instructions
with memory barriers separately from the normal version and implement
the GCC-like specific one using memory clobbering.
