so that it is MI. Allow nfs_mountroot to return an error if the nfs_diskless
struct is not valid, rather than panicing later on. Call nfs_setup_diskless()
from nfs_mountroot if NFS_ROOT is defined, like bootpc_init(). Removed legacy
root mount support for sparc64, and enabled NFS_ROOT by default.

This is mainly so that they can be variable even for the native abi, based
on different machine types. Get stack protections from the sysentvec too.
This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on
machines that support it.

cut and pasted to other architectures with only minor corruption.
Disklabel is really a MI format in many ways, at least it certainly
is when you operate on struct disklabel.
Put bounds_check_with_label() back in subr_disklabel.c where it belongs.

MD function is just a wrapper around db_stack_trace_cmd() that prints out
a backtrace of curthread. Currently, this function is only implemented
on i386 and alpha (and the alpha version isn't quite tested yet, will do
that in a bit). Other changes:
- For i386, fix a bug in the raw frame address case. The eip we extract
from the passed in frame address does not match the frame we received.
Thus, instead of printing a bogus frame with the wrong eip, go ahead
and advance frame down to the same frame as the eip we are using.
- For alpha, attempt to add a way of doing a raw trace for alpha. Instead
of passing a frame address in 'addr', pass in a pointer to a structure
containing PC and KSP and use those to start the backtrace. The alpha
db_print_backtrace() uses asm to read in the current PC and KSP values
into such a request.

This patch addresses a bug that can cause a GPF in the kernel - if a
process makes use of i386_set_ldt to install a LDT entry, then loads
a corresponding segment descriptor into %gs, forks, and if the child
execs.
In this scenario, setregs executes user_ldt_free and then determines
how to reset the %gs register:
/* reset %gs as well */
if (pcb == curpcb)
load_gs(_udatasel);
else
pcb->pcb_gs = _udatasel;
This is insufficient in the fork/exec case, since pcb will be equal
to curpcb when the child execs; load_gs will reset %gs to _udatasel
but it doesn't reset pcb->pcb_gs; upon return from the system call,
cpu_switch_load_gs will thus attempt to restore %gs from pcb->pcb_gs
and trigger a GPF since all LDT entries have already been cleared.
The fix is to always reset pcb->pcb_gs to _udatasel.

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

- Maintain fpu state across signals.
- Use ucontext_t's to store KSE thread state.
- Synthesize state for the UTS upon each upcall, rather than
saving and copying a trapframe.
- Save and restore FPU state properly in ucontext_t's.

next step is to allow > 1 to be allocated per process. This would give

in place)
While doing this I noticed libkvm and sys/kern/kern_proc.c:fill_kinfo_proc
are diverging more than they should.. corrective action needed soon.
to control the mapping of things like the ACPI and APM into memory.
The problem is that starting X changes these values, so if something
was using the bits of BIOS mapped into memory (say ACPI or APM),
then next time they access this memory the machine would hang.
This patch refuse to change MTRR values it doesn't understand,
unless a new "force" option is given. This means X doesn't change
them by accident but someone can override that if they really want
to.
