Currently the compiler picks up the definition in machine/cpufunc.h.
Add compiler memory barriers to read* and write*. The Linux x86
implementation of these functions uses inline asm with "memory" clobber.
The Linux x86 implementation of read_relaxed* and write_relaxed* uses the
same inline asm without "memory" clobber.
Implement ioread* and iowrite* in terms of read* and write* so they also
have memory barriers.
Qualify the addr parameter in write* as volatile.
Like Linux, define macros with the same name as the inline functions.
Only define 64-bit versions on 64-bit architectures because generally
32-bit architectures can't do atomic 64-bit loads and stores.
Regroup the functions a bit and add brief comments explaining what they do:
- __raw_read*, __raw_write*: atomic, no barriers, no byte swapping
- read_relaxed*, write_relaxed*: atomic, no barriers, little-endian
- read*, write*: atomic, with barriers, little-endian
Add a comment that says our implementation of ioread* and iowrite*
only handles MMIO and does not support port IO.

error in the function hypercall_memfree(), where the wrong arena was being
passed to kmem_free().
Introduce a per-page flag, VPO_KMEM_EXEC, to mark physical pages that are
mapped in kmem with execute permissions. Use this flag to determine which
arena the kmem virtual addresses are returned to.
Eliminate UMA_SLAB_KRWX. The introduction of VPO_KMEM_EXEC makes it
redundant.
Update the nearby comment for UMA_SLAB_KERNEL.

The timespecadd(3) family of macros were imported from NetBSD back in
r35029. However, they were initially guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL. In the
meantime, we have grown at least 28 syscalls that use timespecs in some
way, leading many programs both inside and outside of the base system to
redefine those macros. It's better just to make the definitions public.
Our kernel currently defines two-argument versions of timespecadd and
timespecsub. NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeDesktop.org's libbsd, however, define
three-argument versions. Solaris also defines a three-argument version, but
only in its kernel. This revision changes our definition to match the
common three-argument version.
Bump _FreeBSD_version due to the breaking KPI change.
