to control the mapping of things like the ACPI and APM into memory.
The problem is that starting X changes these values, so if something
was using the bits of BIOS mapped into memory (say ACPI or APM),
then next time they access this memory the machine would hang.
This patch refuse to change MTRR values it doesn't understand,
unless a new "force" option is given. This means X doesn't change
them by accident but someone can override that if they really want
to.

This part of sendsig could be slightly refactored to use an MI interface, or
ideally, *sendsig*() would have an API change to accept a siginfo_t, which
would be filled out by an MI function in the level above sendsig, and said MI
function would make a small call into MD code to fill out the MD parts (some
of which may be bogus, such as the si_addr stuff in some places). This would
eventually make it possible for parts of the kernel sending signals to set up
a siginfo with meaningful information.

route interrupts if the child bus is described in the PCIBIOS interrupt
routing table. For child busses that are in the routing table, they do
not necessarily use a 'swizzle' on their pins on the parent bus to route
interrupts for child devices. If the child bus is an embedded device then
the pins on the child devices can be (and usually are) directly connected
either to a PIC or to a Interrupt Router. This fixes PCIBIOS interrupt
routing across PCI-PCI bridges for embedded devices.

- Change pci_cfgintr() to except the current IRQ of a device as a fourth
argument and to use that IRQ for the device if it is valid.
- If an intpin entry in a $PIR entry has a link of 0, it means that that
intpin isn't connected to anything that can trigger an interrupt. Thus,
test the link against 0 to find invalid entries in the table instead of
implicitly relying on the irqs field to be zero. In the machines I have
looked at, intpin entries with a link of 0 often have the bits for all
possible interrupts for PCI devices set.
not the 'entry' member. The entry point is formed from both a base and
a relative entry point. 'entry' is that relative offset. It is perfectly
valid to have an entry point with a relative offset of 0. PCIbios.ventry
is the virtual address of the entry point that takes both 'base' and
'entry' into account, thus it is the proper variable to test to see if we
have an entry point or not.

db_interface.c:
Fixed ddb's handling of traps from with ddb on i386's only.
This was mostly fixed in rev.1.27 (by longjmp()'ing back to the top
level) but was completly broken in rev.1.48 (by not unwinding the new
state (mainly db_active) either before or after the longjmp(). This
mostly never worked for other arches, since rev.1.27 has not been ported
and lower level longjmp()'s only handle traps for memory accesses. All
cases should be handled at a lower level to provided better control and
simplify unwinding of state.
Implementation details: don't pretend to maintain db_active in a nested
way -- ddb cannot be reentered in a nested way. Use db_active instead
of the db_global_jmpbuf_valid flag and longjmp()'s return value for things
related to reentering ddb. [re]entering is still not atomic enough.

make a series of modifications to the credential arguments relating
to file read and write operations to cliarfy which credential is
used for what:
- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of
"cred", and change the semantics of consumers of fo_read() and
fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
an operation rather than the cached file cred. The cached file
cred is still available in fo_read() and fo_write() consumers
via fp->f_cred. These changes largely in sys_generic.c.
For each implementation of fo_read() and fo_write(), update cred
usage to reflect this change and maintain current semantics:
- badfo_readwrite() unchanged
- kqueue_read/write() unchanged
pipe_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred rather
than td->td_ucred
- soo_read/write() unchanged
- vn_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred but
VOP_READ/WRITE() with fp->f_cred
Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred. Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not. If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.
Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.
These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,
but avoid a redundant passing of fp->f_cred, as well as making
it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file
descriptor read/write operations.
Follow-up commits will make similar changes to other file descriptor
operations, and modify the MAC framework to pass both credentials
to MAC policy modules so they can implement either semantic for
revocation.

by pmap_qenter() and pmap_qremove() is pointless. In fact, it probably
leads to unnecessary pmap_page_protect() calls if one of these pages is
paged out after unwiring.
Note: setting PG_MAPPED asserts that the page's pv list may be
non-empty. Since checking the status of the page's pv list isn't any
harder than checking this flag, the flag should probably be eliminated.
Alternatively, PG_MAPPED could be set by pmap_enter() exclusively
rather than various places throughout the kernel.

Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
