485b3300cc Implement guest vcpu pinning using 'pthread_setaffinity_np(3)'.
Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.

The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().

Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.

912a3e678a Add svn properties to the recently merged bhyve source files.
The pre-commit hook will not allow any commits without the svn:keywords
property in head.

cdc5b9e7b1 Fix warnings generated by 'debug.witness.watch' during VM creation and
destruction for calling malloc() with M_WAITOK while holding a mutex.

Do not allow vmm.ko to be unloaded until all virtual machines are destroyed.

f7d51510f1 Change vm_malloc() to map pages in the guest physical address space in 4KB
chunks. This breaks the assumption that the entire memory segment is
contiguously allocated in the host physical address space.

This also paves the way to satisfy the 4KB page allocations by requesting
free pages from the VM subsystem as opposed to hard-partitioning host memory
at boot time.

e90273829b Add ioctls to control the X2APIC capability exposed by the virtual machine to
the guest.

At the moment this simply sets the state in the 'vcpu' instance but there is
no code that acts upon these settings.

cd942e0f25 MSI-x interrupt support for PCI pass-thru devices.
Includes instruction emulation for memory r/w access. This
opens the door for io-apic, local apic, hpet timer, and
legacy device emulation.
