Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the
awareness of the resource manager. There is further room for optimizing
the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()
should be gone, with the exception of pcic and i386/isa/clock.c.
mmioctl() to fix hundreds of style bugs and a few error handling bugs
(don't check for superuser privilege for inappropriate ioctls, don't
check the input arg for the output-only MEM_RETURNIRQ ioctl, and don't
return EPERM for null changes).
`void *' arg. Fixed or hid most of the resulting type mismatches.
Handlers can now be updated locally (except for reworking their
global declarations in isa_device.h).
Highlights:
* Simple model for underlying hardware.
* Hardware basis for timekeeping can be changed on the fly.
* Only one hardware clock responsible for TOD keeping.
* Provides a real nanotime() function.
* Time granularity: .232E-18 seconds.
* Frequency granularity: .238E-12 s/s
* Frequency adjustment is continuous in time.
* Less overhead for frequency adjustment.
* Improves xntpd performance.

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

well, it's already in the commit message so I won't repeat the
long list here ;)

to match (pc98/random_machdep.c probably requires a similar change). This
is a problem area for the PC98 merge - all PC98 ifdefs in <machine/*.h> are
kludges to work around incorrect layering.
gcc only inlines memcpy()'s whose count is constant and didn't inline
these. I want memcpy() in the kernel go away so that it's obvious that
it doesn't need to be optimized. Now it is only used for one struct
copy in si.c.
