<stdint.h>. Previously, parts were defined in <machine/ansi.h> and
<machine/limits.h>. This resulted in two problems:
(1) Defining macros in <machine/ansi.h> gets in the way of that
header only defining types.
(2) Defining C99 limits in <machine/limits.h> adds pollution to
<limits.h>.
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.
Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

choosethread() in MI C code instead of doing it in in assembly in all the
various cpu_switch() functions. This fixes problems on ia64 and sparc64.

I've tried to make this fairly platform-independant as some PowerPC platforms
may not have openpic-style interrupt controllers. This may not have the best
performance but it works for now.
hardly MD, since all our platforms share the same macro. It's not
really compiler dependent either, but this helps in reducing
<machine/ansi.h> to only type definitions.
threaded VM pagezero kthread outside of Giant. For some platforms, this
is really easy since it can just use the direct mapped region. For others,
IPI sending is involved or there are other issues, so grab Giant when
needed.
We still have preemption issues to deal with, but Alan Cox has an
interesting suggestion on how to minimize the problem on x86.
Use Luigi's hack for preserving the (lack of) priority.
Turn the idle zeroing back on since it can now actually do something useful
outside of Giant in many cases.
pmap_swapin_proc/pmap_swapout_proc functions from the MD pmap code
and use a single equivalent MI version. There are other cleanups
needed still.
While here, use the UMA zone hooks to keep a cache of preinitialized
proc structures handy, just like the thread system does. This eliminates
one dependency on 'struct proc' being persistent even after being freed.
There are some comments about things that can be factored out into
ctor/dtor functions if it is worth it. For now they are mostly just
doing statistics to get a feel of how it is working.
- Statically size the bpvo entries to avoid conflicts between bpvo allocation
and the vm allocator.
- Shift pmap_init2 code into pmap_init.
- Add UMA_ZONE_VM flag to uma_zcreate.

The case in cpu_switch() where there isn't a higher priority thread
(choosethread() == curthread) uses r4 as the PCB context pointer. However, the
use of r4 after the label L2 is incorrect, since it was probably trashed by
the call to choosethread, and in any case was set up to curthread at the start
of the routine.
This condition will occur when an interrupt thread schedules a netisr, which
is a lower priority thread.
Another (probably unnecessary) difference is that I was paranoid about
register trashing, so I decided to save r2 and r13 as well.

- Tidy up clock code. Don't repeatedly call hardclock().
- Remove intrnames, decrnest and intrcnt from locore.s
- Coalesce all trap handling into a single stub that then calls a dispatch
function.

obtained, when all other scheduling activity is suspended. This is needed
on sparc64 to deactivate the vmspace of the exiting process on all cpus.
Otherwise if another unrelated process gets the exact same vmspace structure
allocated to it (same address), its address space will not be activated
properly. This seems to fix some spontaneous signal 11 problems with smp
on sparc64.
