critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.
This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

I have in mind for the genclock interface):
- Recognize the MK48T18 as well (differs from the MK48T08 only in
packaging options and voltages).
- Allow MD code to provide functions for reading/writing NVRAM/RTC
locations.
If passed NULL, the old behaviour using bus_space_{read,write}_1() is
used. Otherwise, all access to the chip goes via the MD functions.
This is necessary for mvmeppc boards where the mk48txx NVRAM/RTC is
not directly addressable.
- Cleanup MI mk48txx(4) todclock driver:
- Prepare mk48txxvar.h and leave only register definitions in
mk48txxreg.h.
- Define struct mk48txx_softc as usual devices and allocate necessary
members in it.
- Change mk48txx_attach() to only take a device_t.
o While converting the sparc64 eeprom driver to the above changes:
- Remove some dead code and stale comments.
- Use the NVRAM size provided by the mk48txx driver instead of hardcoding
it as suggested by a comment.
- Add a comment about why it doesn't make much sense to read the hostid
directly from the NVRAM except for displaying it when attaching.
- Don't print the hostid if it reads all zero because it's stored
elsewhere.

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.
This commit defines the macros on all architectures equivalently to
the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from
here...

variable. If set to "true" OF_getetheraddr() will now return the unique
MAC address stored in the "local-mac-address" property of the device's
OFW node if present and the host address/system default MAC address if
the node doesn't doesn't have such a property. If set to "false" the
host address will be returned for all devices like before this change.
This brings the behaviour of device drivers for NICs with OFW support/
FCode, i.e. dc(4) for on-board DM9102A on Sun machines, gem(4) and hme(4),
regarding "local-mac-address?" in line with NetBSD and Solaris.

reflect this change.

subset ("compatible", "device_type", "model" and "name") of the standard
properties in drivers for devices on Open Firmware supported busses. The
standard properties "reg", "interrupts" und "address" are not covered by
this interface because they are only of interest in the respective bridge
code. There's a remaining standard property "status" which is unclear how
to support properly but which also isn't used in FreeBSD at present.
This ofw_bus kobj-interface allows to replace the various (ebus_get_node(),
ofw_pci_get_node(), etc.) and partially inconsistent (central_get_type()
vs. sbus_get_device_type(), etc.) existing IVAR ones with a common one.
This in turn allows to simplify and remove code-duplication in drivers for
devices that can hang off of more than one OFW supported bus.
- Convert the sparc64 Central, EBus, FHC, PCI and SBus bus drivers and the
drivers for their children to use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. The IVAR-
interfaces of the Central, EBus and FHC are entirely replaced by this. The
PCI bus driver used its own kobj-interface and now also uses the ofw_bus
one. The IVARs special to the SBus, e.g. for retrieving the burst size,
remain.
Beware: this causes an ABI-breakage for modules of drivers which used the
IVAR-interfaces, i.e. esp(4), hme(4), isp(4) and uart(4), which need to be
recompiled.
The style-inconsistencies introduced in some of the bus drivers will be
fixed by tmm@ in a generic clean-up of the respective drivers later (he
requested to add the changes in the "new" style).
- Convert the powerpc MacIO bus driver and the drivers for its children to
use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. This invloves removing the IVARs related
to the "reg" property which were unused and a leftover from the NetBSD
origini of the code. There's no ABI-breakage caused by this because none
of these driver are currently built as modules.
There are other powerpc bus drivers which can be converted to the ofw_bus
kobj-interface, e.g. the PCI bus driver, which should be done together
with converting powerpc to use the OFW PCI code from sparc64.
- Make the SBus and FHC front-end of zs(4) and the sparc64 eeprom(4) take
advantage of the ofw_bus kobj-interface and simplify them a bit.

Most of the changes are a direct result of adding thread awareness.
Typically, DDB_REGS is gone. All registers are taken from the
trapframe and backtraces use the PCB based contexts. DDB_REGS was
defined to be a trapframe on all platforms anyway.
Thread awareness introduces the following new commands:
thread X switch to thread X (where X is the TID),
show threads list all threads.
The backtrace code has been made more flexible so that one can
create backtraces for any thread by giving the thread ID as an
argument to trace.
With this change, ia64 has support for breakpoints.

entered. This however is not done at the time of this commit.

configured and which provides basic services to those backends.
Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.

so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.
With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)
