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.
SR601_PA_MATCH_P(), because that macro assumes the io region you are
mapping lies within the 32-bit address space addressable by the CPU,
which might not allways be the case.
with newlock2 merge:
Replace the Mach-derived boolean_t type with the C99 bool type. A
future commit will replace use of TRUE and FALSE with true and false.
int _bus_dmatag_subregion(bus_dma_tag_t tag,
bus_addr_t min_addr,
bus_addr_t max_addr,
bus_dma_tag_t *newtag,
int flags)
void _bus_dmatag_destroy(bus_dma_tag_t tag)
that allow a (normally broken/limited) device to restrict the bus address
range it can talk to. this is used by bce(4) to limit DMA addresses to
1GB range, the maximum the chip can address.
all this is from Yorick Hardy <yhardy@uj.ac.za> with input from several
people on tech-kern.
XXX: bus_dma(9) needs an update still.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

kernel VM range is supposed to be mapped via reserved TLB entries,
so allow such VAs through.
Fixes kgdb failure observed by Jean-Francois Boudreault on port-powerpc
(thanks for testing, too).
ports have different IPL hierarchies. On macppc, IPL_VM is below IPL_AUDIO
and IPL_SERIAL so the queues got corrupted due to priority inversion.
Also fix a race condition in softintr_schedule() when testing "si_refs > 1",
it can lead to queue corruption and subsequent panic (below). As a side
effect, using PSL_EE directly is faster than going via spl*()/splx().
This is supposed to fix (XXX I don't have the hw):
Panic: kernel diagnostic assert "si->si_refs > 0" failed: file

To verify that no nasty side effects of duplicate includes (or their
removal) have an effect here, I've compiled an i386/ALL kernel with
and without the patch, and the only difference in the resulting .o
files was in shifted line numbers in some assert() calls.
The comparison of the .o files was based on the output of "objdump -D".
Thanks to martin@ for the input on testing.
requests and centralizing them all. The result is that some of these
are not used on some architectures, but the documentation was updated
to reflect that.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).

- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.

pmap_tlbmiss() comment and use macro instead of numeric constant.
OK by Simon Burge
First, remove process_checkioperm() calls from MD code. Similar checks
using kauth(9) routines (on the process scope, using appropriate action)
are done in the callers.
Add secmodel back-end to handle each subsystem.
make local variable const as well. Avoid writing to the now-const
variable, instead do the masking before in the trapframe register
assignment.
OK'ed by thorpej and nathanw.
dumpdev. this occurs when we try to set the dumpdev to a device
with no driver loaded. this fixes PR#34872.
in sys_swapctl, if bdevsw_lookup() fails, set dumpdev = NODEV

* ibm405gp UART0 used to be linear mapped. The VA happens to be inside kernel
segment, giving us the possibility of multiple VA matches in the TLB. This
is considered "programming error" by 405 core and results in "undefined
behaviour". We now avoid mapping peripherals in kernel segment.
* Some boards used to map hardwired RAM size. We now use the real size as
passed in by boot firmware.
