This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.

APM_IOC_GETPOWER ioctl read/write. Setting the batteryid in the passed
structure returns the data for just that battery. The old ioctl
remains for binary compatibility but has been renamed.
Itojun already did the hard work -- I just added a couple of lines.

- If we detect SSE/SSE2 support in the CPU, enable SSE exceptions
and set i386_has_{sse,sse2} as appropriate.
- Expose i386_use_fxsave and i386_has_{sse,sse2} through sysctl
as machdep.{osfsxr,sse,sse2}.
adding optimized versions for various CPU classes/models.
Split the 386 version of copyout into a separate routine, and
add a 486 version that doesn't have the class/page-writeability
check.
trap/interrupt/syscall entry from userspace.
Remove special-case "by hand" validation of fs/gs register values as
well as special handling of them in various signal handling paths.
Now, like %ds and %es, they are validated by the hardware on return to
userland.
This paves the way for the use of %fs for per-cpu data on
multiprocessor systems, and fixes an otherwise difficult-to-fix
interaction between threads/clone(2) and USER_LDT.
Discussed in advance with Frank van der Linden.
them define __HAVE_PCIIDE_MACHDEP_COMPAT_INTR_ESTABLISH
in pci_machdep.h and pciide_map_compat_intr() only calls
pciide_machdep_compat_intr_establish() if that preprocessor
define exists.
Ports that don't need to do this no longer need to supply a
dummy function.
- Add "associativity" to the cache_info structure.
- Add a (*cpu_cacheinfo)() function pointer, like we have a
(*cpu_setup)() function pointer. Cache info in the `cpuid'
is vendor-specific.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
