allocation fails and pv entries are reclaimed, there may be an unused pv
entry in a pv chunk that survived the reclamation. However, previously,
after reclamation, get_pv_entry() did not look for an unused pv entry in
a surviving pv chunk; it simply retried the page allocation. Now, it
does look for an unused pv entry before retrying the page allocation.
Note: This only applies to RELENG_7. Earlier branches use a different
pv entry allocator.

libkse in FreeBSD 8.0, do not build or install static versions of libkse
(i.e. libkse*.a) in the default case. Static versions will be built and
installed if libthr is not built or if libkse is the default threading
library.

Intel CPUs with family 0x6, model 0xE and later (i.e., Intel Core(TM))
have a PMC architecture that differs somewhat from previous CPUs in
family 0x6. Even though the basic programming model is similar, the
documented set of legal values that may be loaded into their PMC MSRs
differs from that of the previous PMCs in family 0x6 and reusing bit
values valid for the older PMCs could result in undefined behaviour in
the general case.
per-cpu area. cp_time[] goes away and a new function creates a merged
cp_time-like array for things like linprocfs, sysctl etc. The
atomic ops for updating cp_time[] in statclock go away, and the scope
of the thread lock is reduced.
sysctl kern.cp_time returns a backwards compatible cp_time[] array.
A new kern.cp_times sysctl returns the individual per-cpu stats.
I have pending changes to make top and vmstat optionally show per-cpu
stats.
I'm very aware that there are something like 5 or 6 other versions "out
there" for doing this - but none were handy when I needed them.
I did merge my changes with John Baldwin's, and ended up replacing a
few chunks of my stuff with his, and stealing some other code.

since the branch caches on at least Athlon XP through Athlon 64 CPU's
don't understand such instructions and guarantee a cache miss taking
at least 10 cycles. Use the documented workaround "ret $0" instead
("nop; ret" also works, but "ret $0" is probably faster on old CPUs).
Normal code (even asm code) doesn't branch to "ret", since there is
usually some cleanup to do, but the __mcount, .mcount and .mexitcount
entry points were optimized too well to have the minimum number of
instructions (3 instructions each if profiling is not enabled) and
they did this. I didn't see a significant number of cache misses for
.mexitcount, but for the shared "ret" for __mcount and .mcount I
observed cache misses costing 26 cycles each. For a send(2) syscall
that makes about 70 function calls, the cost of these cache misses
alone increased the syscall time from about 4000 cycles to about 7000
cycles. 4000 is for a profiling (GUPROF) kernel with profiling disabled;
after this fix, configuring profiling only costs about 600 cycles in the
4000, which is consistent with almost perfect branch prediction in the
mcounting calls.

- added sysctls to if_enc(4) to control whether the firewalls or
bpf will see inner and outer headers or just inner headers
for incoming and outgoing IPsec packets.
- if_enc work with IPv6 now as well.

bpf will see inner and outer headers or just inner or outer
headers for incoming and outgoing IPsec packets.
This is useful in bpf to not have over long lines for debugging
or selcting packets based on the inner headers.
It also properly defines the behavior of what the firewalls see.
Last but not least it gives you if_enc(4) for IPv6 as well.
[ As some auxiliary state was not available in the later
input path we save it in the tdbi. That way tcpdump can give a
consistent view of either of (authentic,confidential) for both
before and after states. ]

- On amd64, just assume type #1 is always used. PCI 2.0 mandated
deprecated type #2 and required type #1 for all future bridges which
was well before amd64 existed.
- For i386, ignore whatever value was in 0xcf8 before testing for type #1
and instead rely on the other tests to determine if type #1 works. Some
newer machines leave garbage in 0xcf8 during boot and as a result the
kernel doesn't find PCI at all (which greatly confuses ACPI which expects
PCI to exist when PCI busses are in the namespace).

ZFS porting style didn't extend this, instead using a heap of additional
header files that don't get installed.
My intention had been to allow OpenSolaris external code to build on
FreeBSD out of the box (i.e. without a src tree).
Make clear that this is not a good idea when called from
tcp_output()->ipsec_hdrsiz_tcp()->ipsec4_hdrsize_tcp()
as we do not know if IPsec processing is needed at that point.

T_DIRECT filtering so that disk drives can be attached via the
pass driver. Add CAM locking. Don't mark CAM commands as SG64
since the hardware isn't designed to deal with 64-bit passthru
commands. Hopefully the bounce buffer changes that were done
for the management/ioctl interface are robust enough to handle
this deficiency for CAM as well.
