Add a new 'why' argument to kdb_enter(), and a set of constants to use
for that argument. This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.

Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the
kdb_enter() interface.

We don't need to call dcons_poll event handlers if KDB is not active.

Approved by: re (kensmith)

- Don't force to be the GDB port since dcons(4) is in GENERIC now.

To enable the GDB port of dcons(4), you need to put
dcons_gdb=1
in /boot/loader.conf.

Don't invalidate dcons buffer on shutdown.
We would like to keep connection after halt.

Replace breakpoint() with kdb_enter().

Poll bus resets on FireWire while kdb/gdb is active.

Now, it's safe to call the fwohci interrupt(polling) routine while ddb/gdb
is active. After this change, a dcons connnection over FireWire can survive
bus resets even in kernel debugger.

This means that it is not too late to plug a FireWire cable after a panic
to investigate the problem.

Actually there is a small window(between a jump to kernel from loader and
initialization of dcons_crom) in which no one can take care of a bus reset.
Except that window, firewire console should keep working
from loader to reboot even with a panic and a bus reset.
(as far as you enable LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT)

Add new function ttyinitmode() which sets our systemwide default
modes on a tty structure.

Both the ".init" and the current settings are initialized allowing
the function to be used both at attach and open time.

The function takes an argument to decide if echoing should be enabled.
Echoing should not be enabled for regular physical serial ports
unless they are consoles, in which case they should be configured
by ttyconsolemode() instead.

Use the new function throughout.

Mark more nodes as CTLFLAG_MPSAFE or CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT (17 of many)

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.

This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

Extract eventfilter declarations to sys/_eventfilter.h

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.

Allow dcons(4) to be unloaded when loaded as a module.

When the module is unloaded, the tty devices are destroyed. That requires
implementing the tsw_free callback to avoid a panic. This driver requires
no particular cleanup to be done from the callback, but the module itself
must remain in memory until the deferred tsw_free callbacks are invoked.
These changes implement that by incrementing a reference count variable in
the detach routine, and decrementing it in the tsw_free callback. The
MOD_UNLOAD event handler doesn't return until the count drops to zero.

i386: Merge PAE and non-PAE pmaps into same kernel.

Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.

Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.

Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.

i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.

The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.
