Increase the message buffer size on AMD64. Such machines can have a lot
of devices in them, and aren't run with only 64MB of RAM.

Backed out previous commit since it just causes panics unless a special
value for MSGBUF_SIZE is configured. MSGBUF_SIZE =
(32768 * bootverbose ? 2 : 1) is always 1 or 2, so there is not enough space
in the buffer for metadata, and blindly using the nonexistent space tends
to cause fatal pagefaults. I think
MSGBUF_SIZE = (32768 * (bootverbose ? 2 : 1)) would be always 32768 since
bootverbose is only statically initialized to 0 early when MSGBUF_SIZE is
used. MSGBUF_SIZE = (32768 * ((boothowto & RB_VERBOSE) ? 2 : 1)) should
work, but this belongs in <sys/msgbuf.h> even less than previous versions.
MSGBUF_SIZE shouldn't be a macro.

Replace the code for reading and writing the kernel message buffer
with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.

The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

Add a checksum to the kernel message buffer, and update it every
time a character is written. Use this at boot time to reject the
existing buffer contents if they are corrupt. This fixes a problem
seen on some hardware (especially laptops) where the message buffer
gets partially corrupted during a short power cycle or reset, but
the msgbuf structure is left intact so it gets reused, resulting
in random junk and control characters appearing in dmesg and
/var/log/messages.

Since this changes all but two members of this structure, style(9)
those remaining ones, too.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()

This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

WARNING: Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.
