nfsdargs.maxthreads is set to the user specified value, or the value
of nfsdargs.minthreads if there is no one specified; when it is smaller
than nfsdargs.minthreads, the latter's value is always used.

My changed had some rather significant behavioural changes to throughput.
The two issues I noticed:
* With if_start and the ifnet mbuf queue, any temporary latency
would get eaten up by some mbufs being queued. With ath_transmit()
queuing things to ath_buf's, I'd only get 512 TX buffers before I
couldn't queue any further frames.
* There's also some non-zero latency involved with TX being pushed
into a taskqueue via direct dispatch. Any time the scheduler didn't
immediately schedule the ath TX task would cause extra latency.
Various 1ge/10ge drivers implement both direct dispatch (if the TX
lock can be acquired) and deferred task transmission (if the TX lock
can't be acquired), with frames being pushed into a drbd queue.
I'll have to do this at some point, but until I figure out how to
deal with 802.11 fragments, I'll have to wait a while longer.
So what I saw:
* lots of extra latency, specially under load - if the taskqueue
wasn't immediately scheduled, things went pear shaped;
* any extra latency would result in TX ath_buf's taking their sweet time
being replenished, so any further calls to ath_transmit() would drop
mbufs.
* .. yes, there's no explicit backpressure here - things are just dropped.
Eek.
With this, the general performance has gone up, but those subtle if_start()
related race conditions are back. For some reason, this is doubly-obvious
with the AR5416 NIC and I don't quite understand why yet.
There's an unrelated issue with AR5416 performance in STA mode (it's
fine in AP mode when bridging frames, weirdly..) that requires a little
further investigation. Specifically - it works fine on a Lenovo T40
(single core CPU) running a March 2012 9-STABLE kernel, but a Lenovo T60
(dual core) running an early November 2012 kernel behaves very poorly.
The same hardware with an AR9160 or AR9280 behaves perfectly.

Add a CTASSERT in machdep.c to make sure that pc_curthread is in
fact the first field in struct pcpu.
The only non-atomic operations left were those related to process-
space operations, such as casuword, subyte, suword16, fubyte,
fuword16, copyin, copyout and their variations.
The casuword function has been re-structured more complete than
the others. This way we have an example of a better bundling
without introducing a lot of risk when we get it wrong. The
other functions can be rebundled in separate commits and with
the appropriate testing.
every architecture's busdma_machdep.c. It is done by unifying the
bus_dmamap_load_buffer() routines so that they may be called from MI

The cam changes unify the bus_dmamap_load* handling in cam drivers.
The arm and mips implementations are updated to track virtual

this is not a problem as they are resolved by libgcc. The exception is for
the __aeabi_mem* functions. These call back into libc to the appropriate
function. This causes issues for static binaries as we only link against
libc once so there is no way for it to call into libgcc and back.
The fix for this is to include these symbols in libc but keep them hidden
so binaries use the libgcc version.
Fixes several problems if working with read-only pools.

Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.
The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().
Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.

- ifa_preferred() - boolean function that compares two addresses,
and is aware of CARP.
Utilize ifa_preferred() in ifa_ifwithnet().
The previous version of patch also changed source address selection
logic in jails using carp_master(), but we failed to negotiate this part
with Bjoern. May be we will approach this problem again later.
