On single core devices set_stackptrs is only ever called with cpu = 0 in
initarm and will be identical to the existing function. On SMP this needs
to be implemented for sys/arm/mp_machdep.c, but the implementations are
identical for each SoC.

the boot parameters from initarm first thing. parse_boot_param parses
the boot arguments and converts them to the /boot/loader metadata the
rest of the kernel uses. parse_boot_param is a weak alias to
fake_preload_metadata, which all the platforms use now, but may become
more extensive in the future.
Since it is a weak symbol, specific boards may define their own
parse_boot_param to interface to custom boot loaders.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
Now when one does 'make kernel ; make kernel' the second invocation
only does: `kernel.ko' is up to date.

The external gpio pins are connected to a PLD on the i2c bus, unfortunatley
this device does not conform by failing to send an ack after each byte written.
The iicbb driver will abort the transfer when the address is not ack'd and it
would introduce a lot of churn to be able to pass a flag down to
iicbb_start/iicbb_write. Instead we do bad things by grabbing the iicbus but
then doing our own bit banging.
actually 16 I/O lines but the other ones are used for system devices and
interrupts.
The IXP4XX platform can set interrupts on these pins for
high/low/rising/falling/transitional but this is not implemented yet.
The Cambria has the same interface but as all the pins are assigned to system
functions the gpio header is toggled via a PLD on the i2c bus and is not
supported by this commit.
the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

driver's i/o ops must be locked to avoid chaos. Extend the cambria
bus tag to support ata and add a spin lock. The ata driver is
hacked to use that instead of it's builtin hack for ixp425. Once
the ata driver is fixed to not be confused about byte order we can
generalize the cambria bus tag code and make it generally useful.
While here take advantage of our being ixp435-specific to remove
delays when switching between byte+word accesses and to eliminate
the 2us delay for the uarts (the spin lock overhead looks to do
this for us).
