time I tinkered around here. Since INTREN is called from the interrupt
critical path now, it should not be too expensive. In this case, we
look at the bits being changed to decide which 8 bit IO port to write to
rather than unconditionally writing to both. I could probably have gone
further and only done the write if the bits actually changed, but that
seemed overkill for the usual case in interrupt threads.
[an outb is rather expensive when it has to cross the ISA bus]
exactly the same functionality via a sysctl, making this feature
a run-time option.
The default is 1(ON), which means that /dev/random device will
NOT block at startup.
setting kern.random.sys.seeded to 0(OFF) will cause /dev/random
to block until the next reseed, at which stage the sysctl
will be changed back to 1(ON).
While I'm here, clean up the sysctls, and make them dynamic.

- make the globaldata symbol have value 0 in all cases, so the symbols
in globals.s are always offsets, not aliases for fields in globaldata

To use it, some dll is needed. And currently, the dll is only for NetBSD.
So one more kernel module is needed.

variables from i386 assembly language. The syntax is PCPU(member)
where member is the capitalized name of the per-cpu variable, without
the gd_ prefix. Example: movl %eax,PCPU(CURPROC). The capitalization
is due to using the offsets generated by genassym rather than the symbols
provided by linking with globals.o. asmacros.h is the wrong place for
this but it seemed as good a place as any for now. The old implementation
in asnames.h has not been removed because it is still used to de-mangle
the symbols used by the C variables for the UP case.

This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)
