- Extract the IODEV_PIO interface from ia64 and make it MI. In the end, it does help fixing /dev/io usage from multithreaded processes. - On i386 and amd64 the old behaviour is kept but multithreaded processes must use the new interface in order to work well. - Support for the other architectures is greatly improved, where necessary, by the necessity to define very small things now.
Manpage update will happen shortly.

Use io(4) for I/O port access on ia64, rather than through sysarch(2). I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and remove the sysarch(2) interface.
Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work to begin with.

Remove the unused major/minor numbers from iodev and memdev.
Now that st_rdev is being automatically generated by the kernel, there is no need to define static major/minor numbers for the iodev and memdev. We still need the minor numbers for the memdev, however, to distinguish between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

Break out the MI part of the /dev/[k]mem and /dev/io drivers into their own directory and module, leaving the MD parts in the MD area (the MD parts _are_ part of the modules). /dev/mem and /dev/io are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.
