f8ad22919e Device Polling code for -current.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

To use this code you must compile a kernel with

        options DEVICE_POLLING

and at runtime enable polling with

        sysctl kern.polling.enable=1

The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with

        sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)

while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.

Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/

and also supports polling in the idle loop.

NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.

NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

c972e7aad1 Remove the last of the MD netisr code. It is now all MI. Remove
spending, which was unused now that all software interrupts have
their own thread.  Make the legacy schednetisr use an atomic op
for setting bits in the netisr mask.

ff18363a3e - Overhaul the software interrupt code to use interrupt threads for each
type of software interrupt.  Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
  now maps to a swi thread.  Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
  like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
  software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
  array are no longer needed.  We can now have an arbitrary number of
  software interrupt threads.  When you register a software interrupt
  thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
  to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
  more intuitive.  Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
  'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
  MD.

4d5d6d69ca Do some cleanups of the HARP atm codes interface into the system:
Define the NETISR just like all the other NETISRs.

unifdef -Usun -D__FreeBSD__  we will probably never support sun4c
and if we do we can't use the solaris code anyway and  I doubt
anybody will be running Fore ATM cards in then in the first place.

cf16a7efdb Attempt to fix a problem with receiving packets on USB ethernet interfaces.
Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.

There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)

The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.

The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.

Also removed some uneeded includes from if_aue.c and if_kue.c

15b9bcb121 Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.

it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
