Get enough of the mmu working to be able to allocate memory.
Unlike on PowerPC, we get both address and size as 64bit values. So
adjust of_region to allow this.
Also unlike the PPC port, we do not drive the hardware directly, instead we
rely on the openboot primitives to manage the translation table. This
allows staying independant of the hardware, which is a good idea at
least for the bootloader (we can do actual hardware things in the
kernel)

Non-KDEBUG kernels and kernel add-ons use atomic operations to acquire
and release the locks inline, so non-KDEBUG kernels/addons are only
compatible with other non-KDEBUG kernels/addons.
Following this change, though, KDEBUG kernels/addons should be able
to run under non-KDEBUG kernels/addons, too, since they always call
into the actual kernel functions and do not inline anything of
consequence.

This adds one (private) VFS function, and checks in all usages of
the vnode->cache as a VMVnodeCache that it really is one. (Generic
usages, for the moment just the ReleaseRef() calls in vnode
destruction, are intentionally not touched.)
This will be used by ramfs to set the cache from its own,
so that map_file() calls on a ramfs can work.
The patched errata are only the AMD ones FreeBSD patches
(it seems there are no Intel errata that can be patched
this way, they are all in microcode updates ... or can't
be patched in the CPU at all.)
This also seems to be roughly the point in the boot that
FreeBSD patches these, too, despite how "critical" some
of them seem.

Sparcv9 runs Openboot in 64 bit mode, which means the cell size is
64bit. Use intptr_t where appropriate to make the open firmware calls
work.
Beware, some values are still 32bit, this matters for example for
of_getprop, if you get 32bits into a 64bit variables it will be in the
MSB of it (big endian only weakness...) and confuse things. See for
example in console.cpp, where the input and output handles are retrieved
as 32bit values. It seems wise to check the expected size when using
of_getprop in these cases, instead of just checking for errors.

last enqueue and the next enqueue may grow very large for threads
that mostly wait on conditions. In such cases the int "n" period count

For this to happen, the thread in question would have to have slept for

waiting for some other process to end, for example shell threads waiting

memory do not become shared after a fork.
* Adds two new system calls: _user_mutex_sem_acquire/release(),
which reuse the user_mutex address-hashed wait mechanism.
* Named semaphores continue to use traditional sem_id semaphores.
The get_stack_trace syscall generates a stack trace using the kernel
debugging facilities and copies the resulting return address array to
the preallocated buffer from userland. It is only possible to get a
stack trace of the current thread.
The lookup_symbol syscall can be used to look up the symbol and image
name corresponding to an address. It can be used to resolve symbols
from a stack trace generated by the get_stack_trace syscall. Only
symbols of the current team can be looked up. Note that this uses
the symbol lookup of the kernel debugger which does not support lookup
of all symbols (static functions are missing for example).
This is meant to be used in situations where more elaborate stack trace
generation, like done in the userland debugging helpers, is not possible
due to constraints.
* drop my fdt tests
* we have to call fdt parsing code *after* cpu_init (why?)
* pass fdt pointer to all FDT support calls to avoid confusion
once we get into the kernel land
* look for PL011 compatible uart and use it
* Add some saftey checks to serial putc code to avoid null*
* fdt_node_check_compatible returns 0 on success not 1
* fdt_get_device_reg needs to add the SOC base to the result
* fdt_get_device_reg might need to add the second range cell
instead of reg?
* Move more code into fdt_support
* We now can query FDT registers based on name or alias
* Return addr_t where it makes sense
* Copyright change ok'ed by mmu_man
* Called via arm_mailbox_bcm2835 *and* arm_framebuffer_bcm2835
* This is a bit messy. We really should be getting these
chipset-centric bases from the provided FDT / DTB.
* I can't think of a way to redo this without undoing
work towards FDT.
