* lpt device is defined in MI place (dev/ppbus/files.ppbus), dev/ic/lpt.c
is included there too; dev/ic/lpt.c is not included if ppbus is
configured or if there is alternative platform lpt (like for pc532)
* g/c MD lpt definitions and custom puc/upc attachments,
glue moved to conf/files and dev/pci/files.pci respectively; remove
device lpt definition from dev/isa/files.isa
* add ppbus parport attribute, atppc device attachments, adjust plip and lpt
glue
process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
than in dependencies of it, since .BEGIN is apparently only special for
its commands, not its dependencies. This should get boot26, and probably
boot32, compiling again.
Remove p_raslock and rename p_lwplock p_lock (one lock is enough).
Simplify window test when adding a ras and correct test on VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS.

following ports:
acorn26, amiga, hpcarm, sparc, sparc64
This was proposed by Martin Husemann at teck-kern@ in May to properly
test whether softintr can be established for all IPL, or only for
IPL_SOFT*. OKed by acorn26, hpcarm and sparc port masters.
