This case was particular to a no-interrupt static configuration.

programs, including msdos, set PSL_NT in probes for old cpu types,
although PSL_NT doesn't do anything useful in vm86 or real mode.
PSL_NT is even less useful in the signal handlers. It just causes
T_TSSFLT faults on return from syscalls made by the handlers.
These faults are fixed up lazily so that Xsyscall() doesn't have
to be slowed down to prevent them. The fault handler recently
started complaining about these faults occurring "with interrupts
disabled". It should not have, but the complaints pointed to this
bug.

peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

PQ_FREE. There is little operational difference other then the kernel
being a few kilobytes smaller and the code being more readable.
* vm_page_select_free() has been *greatly* simplified.
* The PQ_ZERO page queue and supporting structures have been removed
* vm_page_zero_idle() revamped (see below)
PG_ZERO setting and clearing has been migrated from vm_page_alloc()
to vm_page_free[_zero]() and will eventually be guarenteed to remain
tracked throughout a page's life ( if it isn't already ).
When a page is freed, PG_ZERO pages are appended to the appropriate
tailq in the PQ_FREE queue while non-PG_ZERO pages are prepended.
When locating a new free page, PG_ZERO selection operates from within
vm_page_list_find() ( get page from end of queue instead of beginning
of queue ) and then only occurs in the nominal critical path case. If
the nominal case misses, both normal and zero-page allocation devolves
into the same _vm_page_list_find() select code without any specific
zero-page optimizations.
Additionally, vm_page_zero_idle() has been revamped. Hysteresis has been
added and zero-page tracking adjusted to conform with the other changes.
Currently hysteresis is set at 1/3 (lo) and 1/2 (hi) the number of free
pages. We may wish to increase both parameters as time permits. The
hysteresis is designed to avoid silly zeroing in borderline allocation/free
situations.
to an architecture-specific value defined in <machine/elf.h>. This
solves problems on large-memory systems that have a high value for
MAXDSIZ.
The load address is controlled by a new macro ELF_RTLD_ADDR(vmspace).
On the i386 it is hard-wired to 0x08000000, which is the standard
SVR4 location for the dynamic linker.
On the Alpha, the dynamic linker is loaded MAXDSIZ bytes beyond
the start of the program's data segment. This is the same place
a userland mmap(0, ...) call would put it, so it ends up just below
all the shared libraries. The rationale behind the calculation is
that it allows room for the data segment to grow to its maximum
possible size.
These changes have been tested on the i386 for several months
without problems. They have been tested on the Alpha as well,
though not for nearly as long. I would like to merge the changes
into 3.1 within a week if no problems have surfaced as a result of
them.
(SVR4 does have it so that;s probably the cause of this bug)
2) Add a wrapper function for translation between ibcs2_ipc_perm and
ipc_perm as I think we screwed up when defining the ipc_perm struct and
mixed up 'normal' and creator [ug]id's
3) Fix IBCS2_IPC_STAT semctl. The FreeBSD version needs a union semun
whereas the IBCS2 version gives a struct ibcs2_semid_ds.
Apparently this is all fixed in the SVR4 compatibility code.

with -aout. Added translation back to elf names in asnames.h as
usual. The elf names were inconsistent in the aout case even
internally because a macro adds an underscore to just one of them.
Removed commented out code for a previous life of `svr4_esigcode'.
Didn't add an underscore to `svr4_esigcode' since it is correct for
aout although wrong for elf, like most internal names in assembler
files. These names should be in a different namespace so that gprof
can ignore them.
Fixed some disorder in asnames.h.

structures" but since tty structs aren't malloced it is actually
mainly for tty-level (clist) buffers. It was slightly misused
here for com structs, and the previous commit completely misused
it for device buffers.
Fixed some bugs in nearby pccard code:
- memory leak when pccards go away (broken in previous commit).
- bogus bzeroing of the com struct before freeing it.
- style bugs.

as before at 115200 bps and half as large as before at low speeds
Use a single interrupt-level buffer instead of ping-pong buffers
because the simplifications provided by ping-pong buffers became
complications.
This change is over-engineered. Statically configured buffering
was simpler and faster, and increasing the buffer size to support
1.5Mbps would cost about 1 US cent's worth of RAM per port, but I
was interested in the buffer switching mechanism.

This fixes bugs when printing the amount of memory on machines with >=2GB

/dev/urandom takes about 38 seconds on a P5/133. It is useful
to be able to kill such reads almost immediately. Processes
doing such reads are now scheduled so their denial of service
is no worse than that of processes looping in user mode.
Increase the overall length of the delay by 10.
Without this a 3C509 card on my MediaGX crash box can't be reliably
read. With this it is solid.
I've left a delay multiplier in instead of just changing the base
delay because I'm surprised I had to increase it so much and expect
there may be another problem.
