sectors so the geometry of large IDE disks has to be adjusted. This
corresponds to what the OpenSolaris dad(7D) driver does except that
the latter only tweaks sectors and effectively limits the mediasize
to 128GB so the cylinders and heads fields won't ever overflow. Not
limiting the mediasize is a compromise between allowing to use Sun
disk label as far as possible and being able to use the entire disk
with another disk label.
This allows to use the full capacity of large IDE disks if they were
not labeled under (Open)Solaris (in both ways of the meaning).

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.

These are called through function pointers so that different implementations
can be provided for cheetah, where the block load instructions may or may
not be a win, and so they can be disabled with the machdep.use_vis tunable.
In terms of raw bandwidth the integer versions are faster, but not allocating
lines in the L2 cache for useless data gives a measurable improvement in user
time for the benchmarks I tested (mostly buildworld with -j8).
As far as I can tell the instructions used are implemented on everything
back to UltraSPARC I, so there should not be a problem with different cpu
types.
in the original hardwired sysctl implementation.
The buf size calculator still overflows an integer on machines with large
KVA (eg: ia64) where the number of pages does not fit into an int. Use
'long' there.
Change Maxmem and physmem and related variables to 'long', mostly for
completeness. Machines are not likely to overflow 'int' pages in the
near term, but then again, 640K ought to be enough for anybody. This
comes for free on 32 bit machines, so why not?
{set,fill}_{,fp,db}regs() fixup:
- Add dummy {set,fill}_dbregs() on architectures that don't have them.
- KSEfy the powerpc versions (struct proc -> struct thread).
- Some architectures had the prototypes in md_var.h, some in reg.h, and
some in both; for consistency, move them to reg.h on all platforms.
These functions aren't really MD (the implementation is MD, but the interface
is MI), so they should move to an MI header, but I haven't figured out which
one yet.
Run-tested on i386, build-tested on Alpha, untested on other platforms.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

to a new architecture. This is the base of the sparc64 port, but contains
limited machine dependent code, and can be used a base for ports. Included
are:
- standard machine dependent headers, tweaked for a 64 bit, big endian
architecture, including empty versions of all the machine dependent
structures
- a machine independent atomic.h, which can be used until a port has
support for interrupts and the operations really need to be atomic
- stub versions of all the machine dependent functions, which panic
when called and print out the name of the function that needs to
be implemented. functions which are normally in assembly files are
not included, but this should reduce the number of different undefined
references on the first few compiles from hundreds to 5 or 6
Given minimal startup code and console support it should be trivial to
make this compile and run the first few sysinits on almost any architecture.
