- Implement __GENERIC_SOFT_INTERRUPTS, and redefine the legacy
software interrupts in terms of it. Garbage-collect setsoftserial().
marked SONPROC.
- Always make curproc, fpcurproc, astpending, and want_resched per-CPU
variables in struct cpu_info. Restructure code accordingly, and trim
a few instructions from a few spots in various places in locore.
state into global and per-CPU scheduler state:
- Global state: sched_qs (run queues), sched_whichqs (bitmap
of non-empty run queues), sched_slpque (sleep queues).
NOTE: These may collectively move into a struct schedstate
at some point in the future.
- Per-CPU state, struct schedstate_percpu: spc_runtime
(time process on this CPU started running), spc_flags
(replaces struct proc's p_schedflags), and
spc_curpriority (usrpri of processes on this CPU).
- Every platform must now supply a struct cpu_info and
a curcpu() macro. Simplify existing cpu_info declarations
where appropriate.
- All references to per-CPU scheduler state now made through
curcpu(). NOTE: this will likely be adjusted in the future
after further changes to struct proc are made.
Tested on i386 and Alpha. Changes are mostly mechanical, but apologies
in advance if it doesn't compile on a particular platform.
processors. Instead, allocate separate idle PCBs for them (including
the primary -- don't use proc0's for its idle context).
- Use SysValue to store the cpu_info for each processor.
They should not be visible to the MI kernel and the MI kernel shouldn't
depend on this junk. Most of it moves to new module <machine/alpha.h>.
Leave badaddr() here, though, because it's used so widely.
- cpu_set_kpc() now takes void *arg third argument, passed to the
entry point.
- cpu_fork() allows parent to be non-curproc iff parent is proc0.
When forking non-curproc, assume its state has already been saved.
- Adjust various pieces of machine-dependent code to account of all of this.
Alpha system, conditional on MULTIPROCESSOR.
NOTE: This does not yet work completely. The secondary CPU begins the
boot process, but never makes it into the cpu spinup trampoline. This
is merely a snapshot of a work-in-progress.
These changes also recover memory that is located before the kernel in

init code carefully re: when it can print stuff out, when it can expect
the firmware to stop working, etc. Be more careful about using the PROM
console and other PROM facilities, and hint that in the future all use
of firmware/boot program callbacks by the kernel should go away (since
the world may not be mapped the way the firmware/boot program wants!).

bootinfo handing so that it always uses bootinfo to get bootinfo-ish values

and IEEE S and T floating datum loads and stores. VAX floating data

FIX_UNALIGNED_VAX_FP is defined. (No point in wasting the space when
most of the time there will never be VAX FP loads and stores.) Right
now, these features can be controlled only by sysctl. The (boolean)
integer sysctls machdep.unaligned_print, machdep.unaligned_fix, and
machdep.unaligned_sigbus control printing about unaligned accesses
(defaults on), fixing up of unaligned accesses (defaults on), and
forcing a SIGBUS on unaligned accesses (defaults off). If an access
is not fixed up (for lack of method or explicit decision), a SIGBUS is
always generated to keep programs from using bogus data. At some point,
these three choices should be controlled by per-process flags, as well.

treat it like one big array of registers, for easier and prettier
access. Update everything to deal with that.
