in a safe way by handling the fault that might trigger for certain
register <> CPU/arch combos.
Requested by Jukka. Patch adapted from one found in DragonflyBSD.

This is used by disk tools such as disklabel(8) to dynamically decide is
the undelyling platform uses a disklabel-in-mbr-partition or not
(instead of using a compile-time list of ports).
getlabelusesmbr() reads the sysctl kern.labelusesmbr, takes its value from the
machdep #define LABELUSESMBR.
For evbmips, make LABELUSESMBR 1 if the platform uses pmon
as bootloader, and 0 (the previous value) otherwise.
sys/stdarg.h and expect compiler to provide proper builtins, defaulting
to the GCC interface. lint still has a special fallback.
Reduce abuse of _BSD_VA_LIST_ by defining __va_list by default and
derive va_list as required by standards.
Factor bus_space_reserve(), bus_space_release(), et cetera out of
bus_space_alloc(), bus_space_map(), bus_space_free(), bus_space_unmap(),
et cetera.
For i386 and amd64, activate the use of <machine/bus_defs.h> and
<machine/bus_funcs.h> by #defining __HAVE_NEW_STYLE_BUS_H in
their respective types.h. While I'm here, remove unnecessary
__HAVE_DEVICE_REGISTER #defines.
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2010/04/02/msg007941.html>,
divide each machine's bus.h into bus_defs.h (constants & data types)
and bus_funcs.h (macro implementations of bus_space(9) routines and MD
prototypes).
Note that some bus_space(9) routines' implementation will move to .c
files from inline subroutines or macros in .h files.
I've only made the split for machine architectures where there is PCI.
All of the non-PCI-having architectures will require a similar split.
These #include files are not referenced by any (committed) Makefiles or
header files, yet. Changes to Makefiles, to <sys/bus.h>, and to some
more machine-dependent files will dribble in before I throw the switch.
- Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9).
New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock.
- Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
- Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share
the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs).
- Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner.
Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns.
- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes
kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues.
Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches
formed the core changes of this branch.
