argument. Use this and replace the inline assembly (mul + div using the
64bit intermediate result) with normal 32bit multiplication and
division. The compiler can turn the division into a multiplication and
shift, making it even cheaper then the original assembly. For extreme
long delays, just use 64bit arithmetic.
- reduce differences between amd64 and i386. notably, share pmap.c
between them. it makes several i386 pmap improvements available to
amd64, including tlb shootdown reduction and bug fixes from Stephan Uphoff.
- implement deferred pmap switching for amd64.
- remove LARGEPAGES option. always use large pages if available.
also, make it work on amd64.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
- Replace most inline assembly with proper functions. As a side effect
this reduces the size of amd64 GENERIC by about 120kB, and i386 by a
smaller amount. Nearly all of the inlines did something slow, or something
that does not need to be fast.
- Make curcpu() and curlwp functions proper, unless __GNUC__ && _KERNEL.
In that case make them inlines. Makes curlwp LKM and preemption safe.
- Make bus_space and bus_dma more LKM friendly.
- Share a few more files between the ports.
- Other minor changes.

christos@tech-kern: "I think you are right."
reorganise the IPL vectors a bit so that they can be used from more
places than splllower and doreti.
Include patch from Kazushi Marukawa (fixed to handle pending interrupts),
which should fix the read_psl() == 0 assertion failure reported by
several users.
if we enter doreti_checkast with only soft interrupt pendings, we would
jump to one of the soft* vector with %esi uninitialized, and the vector
would do a jump *%esi at the end ...
I don't know why nobody ever went into this; I guess in the common case
there's no soft irq pending without a hard irq in this code path ...
config_handle_wedges() and read_disk_sectors(). On x86, handle_wedges()
is a thin wrapper for config_handle_wedges(). Share opendisk()

Add kernel code in support of specifying a root partition by wedge
name. E.g., root specifications "wedge:wd0a", "wedge:David's Root
Volume" are possible. (Patches for config(1) coming soon.)
In support of moving disks between architectures (esp. i386 <->
evbmips), I've written a routine convertdisklabel() that ensures
that the raw partition is at RAW_DISK by following these steps:
0 If we have read a disklabel that has a RAW_PART with
p_offset == 0 and p_size != 0, then use that raw partition.
1 If we have read a disklabel that has both partitions 'c'
and 'd', and RAW_PART has p_offset != 0 or p_size == 0,
but the other partition is suitable for a raw partition
(p_offset == 0, p_size != 0), then swap the two partitions
and use the new raw partition.
2 If the architecture's raw partition is 'd', and if there
is no partition 'd', but there is a partition 'c' that
is suitable for a raw partition, then copy partition 'c'
to partition 'd'.
3 Determine the drive's last sector, using either the
d_secperunit the drive reported, or by guessing (0x1fffffff).
If we cannot read the drive's last sector, then fail.
4 If we have read a disklabel that has no partition slot
RAW_PART, then create a partition RAW_PART. Make it span
the whole drive.
5 If there are fewer than MAXPARTITIONS partitions,
then "slide" the unsuitable raw partition RAW_PART, and
subsequent partitions, into partition slots RAW_PART+1
and subsequent slots. Create a raw partition at RAW_PART.
Make it span the whole drive.
The convertdisklabel() procedure can probably stand to be simplified,
but it ought to deal with all but an extraordinarily broken disklabel,
now.

idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
Seperate "cpubus" and "ioapicbus" -- while they share a common "address
space" (the apic id), the kernel doesn't use this fact. There are different
data passed to cpus and apics, which caused some ugly polymorphism. This
also saves the special "submatch" functions needed to distingush cpus
and ioapics for autoconf. (And it makes that "apid" locators wired
in the kernel configuration are honored now; this allows one to dumb down
an mp box to singleprocessor by userconfig.)
Print "apid" locators in the buses "print" function "as everyone does",
so the per-port cpu drivers don't need to do it.
Being here, constify "struct cpu_functions" and g/c the unused MP_PICMODE
flag.
