window to the user stack while in a nested kernel trap. We do this for
entry to the kernel from user mode, but if we get an interrupt in kernel
mode while there are still user windows in the cpu, and we attempt to spill
to the user stack, we may take too many nested traps and overflow the trap
stack, causing a red state exception. This is needed by upcoming changes
to allow the user tsb to not be locked in the tlb.

virtual page number in a much more convenient way; all in one piece. This
greatly simplifies the comparison for a matching tte, and allows the fault
handlers to be much simpler due to not having to load wierd masks.
Rewrite the tlb fault handlers to account for the new format. These are also
written to allow faults on the user tsb inside of the fault handlers; the
kernel fault handler must be aware of this and not clobber the other's
registers. The faults do not yet occur due to other support that is needed
(and still under my desk).
Bug fixes from: tmm
Most of the contents are commented out as they are as-yet untested.
However, I wanted the contents to match our other arches, so that when
people make changes to {i386,alpha,ia64}, they will also make the same
changes here.
pmap_qenter and pmap_qremove in preference to pmap_kenter/pmap_kremove.
The former maps in multiple pages at a time, and so can do a ranged
flush. Don't assume that pmap_kenter and pmap_kremove will flush the tlb,
even though they still do. It will not once the MI code is updated to use
pmap_qenter and pmap_qremove.
will be used to reduce the number of tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system
by sending one ipi for a whole range of pages, instead of one per page.
Munge the context demap operations slightly to support demapping a non-primary
context.
If we don't do this here there's a 1 instruction race where an interrupt
could come in and crash the user process due to having no stack.
2. Pass %fsr to the user trap handler in %l4. Since %fsr can only be loaded
from or stored to memory, we need to do some contortions and temporarily
save it to the alternate global stack.
3. Reload the pcb and pcpu registers for traps in kernel mode, for sanity.

While in userland, keep the thread's ucred reference in a shadow
field so that the usual place to store it is NULL.
If DIAGNOSTIC is not set, the thread ucred is kept valid until the next
kernel entry, at which time it is checked against the process cred
and possibly corrected. Produces a BIG speedup in
kernels with INVARIANTS set. (A previous commit corrected it
for the non INVARIANTS case already)
