sys/amd64/amd64/pmap.c:
Move invltlb_globpcid() into cpufunc.h so that it can be
used by the Xen HVM version of tlb shootdown IPI handlers.

sys/x86/xen/xen_intr.c:
sys/xen/xen_intr.h:
Rename xen_intr_bind_ipi() to xen_intr_alloc_and_bind_ipi(),
and remove the ipi vector parameter. This api allocates
an event channel port that can be used for ipi services,
but knows nothing of the actual ipi for which that port
will be used. Removing the unused argument and cleaning
up the comments surrounding its declaration helps clarify
its actual role.

sys/i386/include/cpu.h:
Implement a generic framework for amd64 and i386 that allows
the implementation of certain CPU management functions to
be selected at runtime. Currently this is only used for
the ipi send function, which we optimize for Xen when running
on a Xen hypervisor, but can easily be expanded to support
more operations.

Implement Xen PV IPI handlers and operations, replacing native
send IPI.

sys/i386/include/pcpu.h:
sys/i386/include/smp.h:
Remove NR_VIRQS and NR_IPIS from FreeBSD headers. NR_VIRQS
is defined already for us in the xen interface files.
NR_IPIS is only needed in one file per Xen platform and is
easily inferred by the IPI vector table that is defined in
those files.

sys/i386/xen/mp_machdep.c:
Restructure to more closely match the HVM implementation by
performing table driven IPI setup.

Use cpu_ticks() for get_cyclecount(9) rather than checking existence of TSC
at run-time on i386. cpu_ticks() is set to use RDTSC early enough on i386
where it is available. Otherwise, cpu_ticks() is driven by the current
timecounter hardware as binuptime(9) does. This also avoids unnecessary
namespace pollution from <machine/cputypes.h>.

Rework r219679. Always check CPU class at run-time to make it predictable.
Unfortunately, it pulls in <machine/cputypes.h> but it is small enough and
namespace pollution is minimal, I hope.

Remove tsc_present from this file, really.

Unconditionally use binuptime(9) for get_cyclecount(9) on i386. Since this

Tweak how the MD code calls the fooclock() methods some. Instead of
passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

It's not used (vm_machdep.c).

alpha: the MD prototypes have been left in cpu.h with a comment
that they should be there. Moving them is left for later. It was
expected that the impact would be significant enough to be done in
a seperate commit.

powerpc: MD prototypes left in cpu.h. Comment added.
