Also move SHMMAXPGS from $machine/include/vmparam.h as the comments that

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the
buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for
the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size
calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better
comments, less chance of running out of KVA).
The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce.
This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but

Now this check is necessary because IPv6 source routing might use

confirmed to work well. I just forgot to merge them into 4.0, sorry.
For safety, I'll postpone such patches until after 4.0 release.
The effect of postponement is followings.
-Ping6 source routing hops are limitted to around 6 or so.
-If some apps do setsockopt IPV6_RTHDR and try to receive
incoming IPv6 source routing info, it can't receive more
than 6 hops source routing info.
