When porting FreeBSD to a new platform, one of the more useful things to do is
get mi_startup() to let you know which SYSINIT it's up to. Most people tend to
whack a printf in the SYSINIT loop to print the address of the function it's
about to call. Going one better, jhb made a version that uses DDB to look up
the name of the function and print that instead. This version is essentially
his with the addition of some ifdeffery to make it optional and to allow it to
work (although using only the function address, not the symbol) if you forgot
to enable DDB.

Remove an unnecessary check of the table's bus clock. CPUs that
support this feature export only the high/low settings via the MSR,
packed into 32 bits.

vm_ksubmap_init() calls pmap_copy_page(), which uses the mini data cache
to do the copy, but we're running uncaching before cpu_setup().
For some reason it hasn't been a problem so far, but it is for the
PXA255.

the linux module, since it is not cross-platform
- move linprocfs from "files" and "options" to architecture specific files,
since it only makes sense to build this for those architectures, where we
also have a linuxolator
- disable the build of the linuxolator on our tier-2 architecture "Alpha":
* we don't have a linux_base port which supports Alpha and at the
same time is not outdated/obsoleted upstream/in a good condition/
currently working
* the upcomming new default linux base port is based upon Fedora
Core 3 (security support via http://www.fedoralegacy.org), which
isn't available for Alpha (like the current default linux base
port which is based upon Red Hat 8)
* nobody answered my request for testing it ~1 month ago on
current@ and alpha@ (it doesn't surprises me, see above)
* a SoC student wouldn't have to waste time on something which
nobody is willing to test
This does not remove the alpha specific MD files of the linuxolator yet.

If the embedded controller exists before the sysresource devices, for
example, it will be attached first. Instead, let the normal device
order function work as we first desired. [1]
There still remained a problem where we couldn't allocate resources in
acpi0 that were passed up by the sysresource pseudo-devices. These
devices had to probe/attach first to give their resources to acpi, then
acpi would allocate them before probing/attaching other devices. To
work around this, we attach them from acpi_sysres_alloc(). A better
approach would be to implement multi-pass probe/attach in newbus but
that's a much bigger task.

to ensure we match the type signature; we cannot assume HAL_BUS_TAG
and HAL_BUS_HANDLE correspond to bus_space_tag_t and bus_space_handle_t
(should probably do this for HAL_SOFTC too but leave that for now)

assuming them to be inflight write buffers. This is not always the case.
bufdaemon might hold the buffer lock and give up writing the buffer due to it
having dependencies, the file system being suspended or the vnode lock being
held by another thread. When bufdaemon decides to write the buffer there is
still a window before bufobj_wref() has been called, allowing other threads to
believe that the vnode has no dirty buffers or inflight writes.
Try harder to flush first block of new subdirectory to get rid of MKDIR_BODY
dependency.
for signicantly optimized UDP socket I/O when using a single UDP
socket from many threads or processes that share it, by avoiding
significant locking and other overhead in the general sosend()
path that isn't necessary for simple datagram sockets. Specifically,
this change results in a significant performance improvement for
threaded name service in BIND9 under load.
