credential: mac_associate_nfsd_label()
This entry point can be utilized by various Mandatory Access Control policies
so they can properly initialize the label of files which get created
as a result of an NFS operation. This work will be useful for fixing kernel
panics associated with accessing un-initialized or invalid vnode labels.
The implementation of these entry points will come shortly.

- If we know this CPU has a FPU via cpuid, then just assume the INT16
interface and make the npx device quiet to not clutter the dmesg. This
is true for all Pentium and later CPUs and even some of the later 486dx
CPUs.

new chips and improves support for already supported ones.
Some details, important for future merges:
- if_em.c merged manually, viewing diff between new vendor
driver and previous one.
- if_em_hw.h dropped in from vendor, and then restored revisions
1.16, 1.17, 1.18.
- if_em_hw.c dropped in from vendor, and then two liner change made,
that restores support for two rare chips.

infrastructure in place to do RX side, but that requires more study
before it can be done.
so that we only have to do an ioapic_write() instead of an ioapic_read()
followed by an ioapic_write() every time we mask and unmask level triggered
interrupts. This cuts the execution time for these operations roughly in
half.

PCI devices apparently was changed from a special deferred trap with TPC
pointing to the membar #Sync following the failing load/store instruction
to a precise trap with TPC pointing to the failing load/store instruction.
Thus remove the check the check whether TPC points to a membar #Sync in
case of a data access trap as it's off-by-one for USIII CPUs and it should
be sufficient to check whether the trap happend while in fasword*() to
properly detect traps caused by peeking/poking. This also corresponds to
what other OSs do. Note that also only the USIIi manual suggests to check
the TPC for such traps while the USII one doesn't (in the public USIII
manual device peeking/poking isn't mentioned at all).
NULL. We currently do allow this to happen, but may want to remove that
possibility in the future. This case can occur when a socket is left
open after TCP wraps up, and the timewait state is recycled. This will
be cleaned up in the future.

are reasonable objections to removing the recycling from this path.

PCB in which the context of stopped CPUs is stored. To access this
PCB from KDB, we introduce a new define, called KDB_STOPPEDPCB. The
definition, when present, lives in <machine/kdb.h> and abstracts
where MD code saves the context. Define KDB_STOPPEDPCB on i386,
amd64, alpha and sparc64 in accordance to previous code.
with large mmap files mapped into many processes, this saves hundreds of
megabytes of ram.
pv entries were individually allocated and had two tailq entries and two
pointers (or addresses). Each pv entry was linked to a vm_page_t and
a process's address space (pmap). It had the virtual address and a
pointer to the pmap.
This change replaces the individual allocation with a per-process
allocation system. A page ("pv chunk") is allocated and this provides
168 pv entries for that process. We can now eliminate one of the 16 byte
tailq entries because we can simply iterate through the pv chunks to find
all the pv entries for a process. We can eliminate one of the 8 byte
pointers because the location of the pv entry implies the containing
pv chunk, which has the pointer. After overheads from the pv chunk
bitmap and tailq linkage, this works out that each pv entry has an
effective size of 24.38 bytes.
Future work still required, and other problems:
* when running low on pv entries or system ram, we may need to defrag
the chunk pages and free any spares. The stats (vm.pmap.*) show that
this doesn't seem to be that much of a problem, but it can be done if
needed.
* running low on pv entries is now a much bigger problem. The old
get_pv_entry() routine just needed to reclaim one other pv entry.
Now, since they are per-process, we can only use pv entries that are
assigned to our current process, or by stealing an entire page worth
from another process. Under normal circumstances, the pmap_collect()
code should be able to dislodge some pv entries from the current
process. But if needed, it can still reclaim entire pv chunk pages
from other processes.
* This should port to i386 really easily, except there it would reduce
pv entries from 24 bytes to about 12 bytes.

- Use FBSDID in trap.c
- Make the global trap_sig[] static as it's not used outside of trap.c.
- In sendsig() remove an unused variable.
- In trap() sync with the other archs; for fast data access MMU miss and
data access protection traps set ksi_addr to the SFAR reg which contains
the faulting address and otherwise to the TPC reg. Generally the TCP reg
contains the address of the instruction that caused the exception, except
for fast instruction access traps (and some others; more refinement may
be needed here) it also contains the faulting address.
Previously sendsig() always set si_addr to the SFAR reg which is wrong
for most traps.
- In sendsig() add support for FreeBSD old-style signals.
These changes are inspired by kmacy's sun4v changes and allow libsigsegv
to build on FreeBSD/sparc64, but it doesn't pass all checks and tests it
actually should, yet.
