of the `machdep.acpi_root' sysctl. This is required on ia64
because the root pointer hardly ever, if at all, lives in the
first MB of memory and also because scanning the first MB of
memory can cause machine checks.
This provides a save and reliable way for ACPI tools to work
with the tables if ACPI support is present in the kernel. On
ia64 ACPI is non-optional.
end up with a dump offset that's smaller than the start of the
dump device and either clobber data in preceding partitions or
try to write beyond the end of the medium (unsigned wrap).
Implement legacy behaviour to never write to the first 64KB as
that is where metadata (ie disklabels) may reside.
The HCDP table is one (non-proprietary) way for the platform to
inform the OS about headless operation. This field would normally
hold the address as can be found by scanning the EFI system table,
which we also pass to the kernel. The apparent duplication allows
us to synthesize a HCDP table in the loader by whatever means we
can think of, including relocating the platform table into pre-
mapped address space. In short: it gives us more freedom.

Add function map_port_space() to map the memory mapped I/O port
range as uncacheable virtual memory and call it prior to probing
for a console. This removes the dependency on the loader to have
done this for us. Note that this change does not include doing
the same for APs.

helding it anymore in cpu_thread_exit(). We now do this from a

- Clear the PG_WRITEABLE flag in pmap_page_protect() if write access is
being removed. Return immediately if write access is being removed and
PG_WRITEABLE is already clear.
Previously these were libc functions but were requested to
be made into system calls for atomicity and to coalesce what
might be two entrances into the kernel (signal mask setting
and floating point trap) into one.
A few style nits and comments from bde are also included.

since there is no significant exposure in the syscall interface. The
things that go wrong are mostly userland stuff - time(&intvariable).

Notes: (1) alpha, i386, and ia64 had identical implementations
of pmap_collect() in terms of machine-independent interfaces;
(2) sparc64 doesn't require it; (3) powerpc had it as a TODO.
Don't force 16-byte alignment at run-time. Do it at compile-time.
This saves us the pointer fiddling by the setjmp functions and
reduces complexity. While here, increase the jmp_buf by 16 bytes
to an even 512 bytes. Coincidentally, due to the way alignment
was handled prior to this change, the jmp_buf has not changed in
size, but only in how the space is used. Prior to this change
the 16 bytes were reserved for enforcing alignment; now they are
reserved by us for future extensions.
Therefore, this ABI breaker is relatively save: the failure is
always an alignment trap.
sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.

eventually result in code that we can unwind to to get the preserved

While re-allocating, remove the register aliases. Abstraction is in
this case disadvanteous.

better match how we save and restore the (preserved) registers. This

Only minimal effort has been put in writing optimal assembly. The
expectation is that there will be more rounds of changes.
from all low-level bus space support functions. There's no need
to actually force the read/write to be accepted by the platform
before we can do anything else. We still have the mf instruction
there, which forces ordering. This too is not required given the
semantices of the bus space I/O functions, but it's not at all
clear to me if there are any poorly written device drivers that
depend on the strict ordering by the processor. The motto here is
to take small steps...
o Properly set the pointer to the counter for each interrupt and
update the intrnames table.
o Remove Alpha cruft from intrcnt.h.
o Create INTRNAME_LEN as the single entity that defines the width
of the names in the intrnames table (incl. terminatinf '\0').
This guarantees that loads and stores emitted before the fence are
made visible before the IPI becomes pended.
Remove the mf.a instruction after initiating the IPI. There's no
guarantee that the IPI becomes pended prior to subsequent reads or
writes. Even if there was a guarantee, it would mostly be without
any benefit.
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.
Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.

pointer to a dumperinfo instead of di. A brainfart, surely. This
bug went unnoticed for all this time because the pointer is only
used by buf_write() when it can write a completely filled buffer
to the dump device. This depends on the number of memory chunks
that needs to be dumped. This has apparently been low enough that
it has never happened up until this point.
