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.

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.
- 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.
- add a ses(4) major number as the MI MAKEDEV tries to create the
nodes. hi elad.
- create audio devices.
- provide mount_kernfs and a dmesg command.
- start sysinst automagically and fix backspace key.
Mostly prompted by David H. Gutteridge on port-hp700.
version.
Add disk_blocksize(9) so that disk drivers can record the physical
block size of a disk if it is different to DEV_BSIZE. Right now this
simply initialises dk_blkshift and dk_byteshift according to the
supplied block size. This information is used in the MI version of
bounds_check_with_label().
newer server chipsets) to wm(4), from the FreeBSD em(4) driver.
While there, add a few other Intel Ethernet controller that should work as
is.
Properly update the RX error and TX collision counters.
Add ikphy(4), a driver for the Intel i82563 Kumeran 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHYs
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
before calling cpu_dumpconf(). (this also fixes PR#34872.)

- copyright maintenance
- remove all the endian stuff - it didn't work
- correct a comment spello
- use the correct blkno when writing a disklabel
- don't pass garbage from the stack as the disklabel when trying to read
the LIF label in the write label case.
