SMP problem. Compaq, in their infinite wisdom, forgot to put the IO apic
intpin #0 connection to the 8259 PIC into the mptable. This hack is to
look and see if intpin #0 has *no* table entry and adds a fake ExtInt
entry for the remap routines to use. isa/clock.c will still test the
interrupts. This entry is only ever used on an already broken system.
Also, while here, run up to 32 interrupt sources on APIC systems.

- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block

to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF

running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways. It was
broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone. It's only use
was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
scheduling an SWI.

- stop using the evil 'struct trapframe' argument for mi_startup()
(formerly main()). There are much better ways of doing it.
- do not use prepare_usermode() - setregs() in execve() will do it
all for us as long as the p_md.md_regs pointer is set. (which is
now done in machdep.c rather than init_main.c. The Alpha port did it
this way all along and is much cleaner).
- collect all the magic %cr0 etc register settings into one place and
have the AP's call that instead of using magic numbers (!!) that keep
changing over and over again.
- Make it safe to call kthread_create() earlier, including during the
device probe sequence. It doesn't need the callback mechanism that
NetBSD's version uses.
- kthreads created this way are root-less as they exist before the root
filesystem is mounted. init(1) is set up so that it aquires the root
pointers prior to running. If other kthreads want filesystem acccess
we can make this code more generic.
- set all threads start times once we have decided what time it is.
- init uses a trampoline rather than the evil prepare_usermode() hack.
- kern_descrip.c has a couple of tweaks to deal with forking when there
is no rootdir or cwd etc.
- adjust the early SYSINIT() sequence so that a few prereqisites are in
place. eg: make sure the run queue is initialized before doing forks.
With this, the USB code can easily create a kthread to do the device
tree discovery. (I have tested it, it works nicely).
There are still some open issues before this is truely useful.
- tsleep() does not like working before the clock is running. It
sort-of tries to spin wait, but it can do more useful things now.
- stopping a kthread in kld code at unload time is "interesting" but
we have a solution for that.
The Alpha code needs no changes for this. It already uses pretty much the
same strategies, but a little cleaner.
Don't allow cpu entries in the MP table to contain APIC IDs out of range.
Don't write outside array boundaries if an IO APIC entry in the MP table
contains an APIC ID out of range.
Assign APIC IDs for all IO APICs according to section 3.6.6 in the
Intel MP spec:
- If the current APIC ID on an IO APIC doesn't conflict with other
IO APICs or CPUs, that APIC ID should be used. The copy of the MP
table must be updated if the corresponding APIC ID in the MP table
is different.
- If the current APIC ID was in conflict with other units, the
corresponding APIC ID specified in the MP table is checked for conflict.
- If a conflict is still found then fall back to using a new unique ID.
The copy of the MP table must be updated.
- IDs out of range is considered to be in conflict.
During these operations, the IO_TO_ID array cannot be used, since any
conflict would have caused information loss. The array is then corrected,
since all APIC ID conflicts should have been resolved.

Further experimentation showed that some Dell 2450 machines with the

the same time.

Both IOAPICs had ID 0.
Appendix B.3 in the MP spec indicates that the operating system is

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.

- We now have enough per-cpu idle context, the real idle loop has been
revived (cpu's halt now with nothing to do).
- Some preliminary support for running some operations outside the
global lock (eg: zeroing "free but not yet zeroed pages") is present
but appears to cause problems. Off by default.
- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'
option. Setting smp_active to zero causes the AP's to halt in the idle
loop and stop scheduling processes.
- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in
stack a number of times (which has caused lots of problems) and then
abandoning it, we use the idle context to boot the AP's directly. This
