A later change, currently being iterated on in D24459, will in-fact change
the lock type to an sx so that TTY drivers can sleep on it if they need to.
Committing this ahead of time to make the review in question a little more
palatable.
tty_lock_assert() is unfortunately still needed for now in two places to
make sure that the tty lock has not been recursed upon, for those scenarios
where it's supplied by the TTY driver and possibly a mutex that is allowed
to recurse.

Currently the Xen console is always attached with priority CN_REMOTE
(highest), which means that when booting with a single console the Xen
console will take preference over the VGA for example, and that's not
intended unless the user has also selected to use a serial console.
Fix this by lowering the priority of the Xen console to NORMAL unless
the user has selected to use a serial console. This keeps the usual
FreeBSD behavior of outputting to the internal consoles (ie: VGA) when
booted as a Xen dom0.

This allows replacing "sys/eventfilter.h" includes with "sys/_eventfilter.h"
in other header files (e.g., sys/{bus,conf,cpu}.h) and reduces header
pollution substantially.
EVENTHANDLER_DECLARE and EVENTHANDLER_LIST_DECLAREs were moved out of .c
files into appropriate headers (e.g., sys/proc.h, powernv/opal.h).
As a side effect of reduced header pollution, many .c files and headers no
longer contain needed definitions. The remainder of the patch addresses
adding appropriate includes to fix those files.
LOCK_DEBUG and LOCK_FILE_LINE_ARG are moved to sys/_lock.h, as required by
sys/mutex.h since r326106 (but silently protected by header pollution prior
to this change).
No functional change (intended). Of course, any out of tree modules that
relied on header pollution for sys/eventhandler.h, sys/lock.h, or
sys/mutex.h inclusion need to be fixed. __FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
HYPERVISOR_start_info is only available to PV and PVHv1 guests, HVM
and PVHv2 guests get this data from HVM parameters that are fetched
using a hypercall.
Instead provide a set of helper functions that should be used to fetch
this data. The helper functions have different implementations
depending on whether FreeBSD is running as PVHv1 or HVM/PVHv2 guest
type.
This helps to cleanup generic Xen code by removing quite a lot of
xen_pv_domain and xen_hvm_domain macro usages.

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.
List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles
