PTE if that PTE has the PG_RW bit set. However, this assumption does
not hold on recent processors from Intel. For example, consider a PTE
that has the PG_RW bit set but the PG_M bit clear. Suppose this PTE
is cached in the TLB and later the PG_RW bit is cleared in the PTE,
but the corresponding TLB entry is not (yet) invalidated.
Historically, upon a write access using this (stale) TLB entry, the
TLB would observe that the PG_RW bit had been cleared and initiate a
page fault, aborting the setting of the PG_M bit in the PTE. Now,
however, P4- and Core2-family processors will set the PG_M bit before
observing that the PG_RW bit is clear and initiating a page fault. In
other words, the write does not occur but the PG_M bit is still set.
The real impact of this difference is not that great. Specifically,
we should no longer assert that any PTE with the PG_M bit set must
also have the PG_RW bit set, and we should ignore the state of the
PG_M bit unless the PG_RW bit is set. However, these changes enable
me to remove a work-around from pmap_promote_pde(), the superpage
promotion procedure.
(Note: The AMD processors that we have tested, including the latest,
the Phenom, still exhibit the historical behavior.)

As Alan noted, pmap_copy() does not require the wrap-around checks
because it cannot be applied to the kernel's pmap. The checks there are

BO_LOCK/UNLOCK/MTX when manipulating the bufobj.
- Create a new lock in the bufobj to lock bufobj fields independently.
This leaves the vnode interlock as an 'identity' lock while the bufobj
is an io lock. The bufobj lock is ordered before the vnode interlock
and also before the mnt ilock.
- Exploit this new lock order to simplify softdep_check_suspend().
- A few sync related functions are marked with a new XXX to note that
we may not properly interlock against a non-zero bv_cnt when
attempting to sync all vnodes on a mountlist. I do not believe this
race is important. If I'm wrong this will make these locations easier
to find.

The bug:
There exists a race condition for timeout/untimeout(9) due to the
way that the softclock thread dequeues timeouts.
The softclock thread sets the c_func and c_arg of the callout to
NULL while holding the callout lock but not Giant. It then drops
the callout lock and acquires Giant.
It is at this point where untimeout(9) on another cpu/thread could
be called.
Since c_arg and c_func are cleared, untimeout(9) does not touch the
callout and returns as if the callout is canceled.
The softclock then tries to acquire Giant and likely blocks due to
the other cpu/thread holding it.
The other cpu/thread then likely deallocates the backing store that
c_arg points to and finishes working and hence drops Giant.
Softclock resumes and acquires giant and calls the function with
the now free'd c_arg and we have corruption/crash.
The fix:
We need to track curr_callout even for timeout(9) (LOCAL_ALLOC)
callouts. We need to free the callout after the softclock processes
it to deal with the race here.

parent similar to BUS_CONFIG_INTR() so that all busses don't have to
explicitly implement bus_bind_intr. A bus_bind_intr(9) wrapper routine
similar to bus_setup/teardown_intr() is added for device drivers to use.
Unbinding an interrupt is done by binding it to NOCPU. The IRQ resource
must be allocated, but it can happen in any order with respect to
bus_setup_intr(). Currently it is only supported on amd64 and i386 via
nexus(4) methods that simply call the intr_bind() routine.
