r256543:

Add fasttrap for PowerPC. This is the last piece of the DTrace/ppc puzzle.
It's incomplete, it doesn't contain full instruction emulation, but it should be
sufficient for most cases.

r259245,r259421: (FBT)

FBT now does work fully on PowerPC.

Save r3 before using it for the trap check, else we end up saving the new r3,
containing the trap instruction encoding (0x7c810808), and restoring it back
with the frame on return. This caused it to panic on my ppc32 machine.

r259668,r259674:
Fix a typo in the FBT code.

Fixes for DTrace on PowerPC:

- Implement dtrace_getarg()
- Sync fbt with x86, and fix a typo.
- Pull in the time synchronization code from amd64.

FreeBSD's DTrace implementation has a few problems with respect to handling
probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,

* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.

This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).

Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

fbt_typoff_init: fix an off by one in determining required memory size

This issue would be silent most of the time, but if the requested memory
is a multiple of a page size, then accessing one element beyond the end
would lead to a kernel page fault.
Otherwise, the unlucky last type would just be inaccessible.

Add FBT for PowerPC DTrace. Also, clean up the DTrace assembly code,
much of which is not necessary for PowerPC.

The FBT module can likely be factored into 3 separate files: common,
intel, and powerpc, rather than duplicating most of the code between
the x86 and PowerPC flavors.

All DTrace modules for PowerPC will be MFC'd together once Fasttrap is
completed.

Mark MALLOC_DEFINEs static that have no corresponding MALLOC_DECLAREs.

This means that their use is restricted to a single C file.
