Some code churn: o Eliminate IA64_PHYS_TO_RR6 and change all places where the macro is used by calling either bus_space_map() or pmap_mapdev(). o Implement bus_space_map() in terms of pmap_mapdev() and implement bus_space_unmap() in terms of pmap_unmapdev(). o Have ia64_pib hold the uncached virtual address of the processor interrupt block throughout the kernel's life and access the elements of the PIB through this structure pointer.
This is a non-functional change with the exception of using ia64_ld1() and ia64_st8() to write to the PIB. We were still using assignments, for which the compiler generates semaphore reads -- which cause undefined behaviour for uncacheable memory. Note also that the memory barriers in ipi_send() are critical for proper functioning.
With all the mapping of uncached memory done by pmap_mapdev(), we can keep track of the translations and wire them in the CPU. This then eliminates the need to reserve a whole region for uncached I/O and it eliminates translation traps for device I/O accesses.

Revamp bus_space access functions: o Optimize for memory mapped I/O by making all I/O port acceses function calls and marking the test for the IA64_BUS_SPACE_IO tag with __predict_false(). Implement the I/O port access functions in a new file, called bus_machdep.c. o Change the bus_space_handle_t for memory mapped I/O to the virtual address rather than the physical address. This eliminates the PA->VA translation for every I/O access. The handle for I/O port access is still the port number. o Move inb(), outb(), inw(), outw(), inl(), outl(), and their string variants from cpufunc.h and define them in bus.h. On ia64 these are not CPU functions at all. In bus.h they are merely aliases for the new I/O port access functions defined in bus_machdep.h. o Handle the ACPI resource bug in nexus_set_resource(). There we can do it once so that we don't have to worry about it whenever we need to write to an I/O port that is really a memory mapped address.
The upshot of this change is that the KBI is better defined and that I/O port access always involves a function call, allowing us to change the actual implementation without breaking the KBI. For memory mapped I/O the virtual address is abstracted, so that we can change the VA->PA mapping in the kernel without causing an KBI breakage. The exception at this time is for bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap().
MFC after: 1 week.
