prototypes of cpu_halt(), cpu_reset() and swi_vm() from md_var.h to
cpu.h. This affects db_command.c and kern_shutdown.c.
ia64: move all MD prototypes from cpu.h to md_var.h. This affects
madt.c, interrupt.c and mp_machdep.c. Remove is_physical_memory().
It's not used (vm_machdep.c).
alpha: the MD prototypes have been left in cpu.h with a comment
that they should be there. Moving them is left for later. It was
expected that the impact would be significant enough to be done in
a seperate commit.
powerpc: MD prototypes left in cpu.h. Comment added.

A timecounter will be selected when registered if its quality is
not negative and no less than the current timecounters.
Add a sysctl to report all available timecounters and their qualities.
Give the dummy timecounter a solid negative quality of minus a million.
Give the i8254 zero and the ACPI 1000.
The TSC gets 800, unless APM or SMP forces it negative.
Other timecounters default to zero quality and thereby retain current
selection behaviour.

how it is used. The last parameter was always FALSE.
Note: In theory, gcc would perform constant propagation and dead code
elimination to achieve the same effect as removing the last parameter,
which is always FALSE. In practice, recent versions do not. So, there
is little point in letting unused code pessimize execution.

i/o ports was unpessimized long ago, and the macro that detected it
recently started working for u_short types too. Use of bus space

they haven't been counted before. This test was ommitted when bus_dmamap_load()
was merged into this function, and results in the pagesneeded field growing
without bounds when multiple deferrals happen.
Thanks to Paul Saab for beating his head against this for a few hours =-)
- Move the enabling of interrupts out of assembly and into C a few
instructions later at cpu_critical_fork_exit(). This puts more of the
MD critical section implementation under the MD critical section API
making it easier to test and develop alternative implementations.
Also change "Auto mode" to use a "special" value
instead of 0, and define and document it.
I had thought libpthread had already been switched to use auto mode but
it appears that patch hasn't been committed yet.

there is code that blindly allocates LDTEs starting at slot 6
and I quess it doesn't really matter to us if they overwrite the BSDI
syscall slot, since it isn't a BSDI binary. Also add some code to help track
down other such users (commented out for now).

type. We know about header types 0, 1 and 2. Ignore the rest in the
MD i386 code when we're looking for bridges. You cannot look at the
vendor tag. And if you don't you certainly can't look at function > 0

The new soekris boards' GEODE cpu has issues with the old way. This

considered to be good to try when it otherwise has no clue about which
interrupts to try. This is a band-aide and we really should try to
balance the IRQs that we arbitrarily pick, but it should help some
people that would otherwise get bad IRQs.
The other option would be to remove it, but I can imagine it may be useful
for the forseeable future as we fiddle with segments in KSE and thr libraries,
that while many maps can exist and be loaded per tag, bus_dmamap_load() and
friends can only be called on one map at a time from the tag. This is
enforced via the mutex arguments in the tag.
Fixing this bug means that s/g lists can be arbitrarily long in length, and
also removes an ugly GNU-ism from the code. No API or ABI change is
incurred. Similar changes for other platforms is forthcoming.
created not only with UMA_ZONE_VM but also with UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. In
the i386 case in particular, the pmap code would hook a special
page allocation routine that allocated from kernel_map and not kmem_map,
and so when/if the pageout daemon drained the zones, it could actually
push out slabs from the PV ENTRY zone but call UMA's default page_free,
which resulted in pages allocated from kernel_map being freed to
kmem_map; bad. kmem_free() ignores the return value of the
vm_map_delete and just returns. I'm not sure what the exact
repercussions could be, but it doesn't look good.
In the PAE case on i386, we also set-up a zone in pmap, so be
conservative for now and make that zone also ZONE_NOFREE and
ZONE_VM. Do this for the pmap zones for the other archs too,
although in some cases it may not be entirely necessarily. We'd
rather be safe than sorry at this point.
Perhaps all UMA_ZONE_VM zones should by default be also
UMA_ZONE_NOFREE?
May fix some of silby's crashes on the PV ENTRY zone.

Added Features:
o If start_sel is 0, num_sels is 1 and the descriptor pointed to by descs
is legal, then i386_set_ldt() will allocate a descriptor and return its
selector numbe
o If num_descs is 1, start_sels is valid, and descs is NULL, then
i386_set_ldt() will free that descriptor (making it available to be real-
located again later).
o If num_descs is 0, start_sels is 0 and descs is NULL then, as a special
case, i386_set_ldt() will free all descriptors.
