Add software PMC support.
New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting. This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is with known tools like pmcstat(8).
Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on instructions.

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.
This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it as low as possible for the time being.
Technical notes on this commit itself: - More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced. The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3) for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation). - pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon. With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word - Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself, it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when accessing kernland members. - KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be set as the example reported in NOTES.
Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt) machine (amd64).
Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not targeted for MFC.
People to thank for the time spent on this patch: - sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested several revision of the patches and really helped in improving stability of this work. - marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed patches related to ktr. - jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed. - kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the patch. - marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of the patch. - marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific implementations of the patch. - Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been already committed and have been listed separately.
Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several degrees: - Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big count of CPUs. - The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance, which has been instrumental. - Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during development.
(I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in advance).

Add some FEATURE macros for various features (AUDIT/CAM/IPC/KTR/MAC/NFS/NTP/ PMC/SYSV/...).
No FreeBSD version bump, the userland application to query the features will be committed last and can serve as an indication of the availablility if needed.

MFP4:
- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).
- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of PMC implementations across different architectures. Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.
- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts every context switch), -R (print log file).
- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.
- bug fixes & documentation.

Do not conditionally compile the contents of this file upon whether HWPMC_HOOKS is defined. The pmc_cpu_is_*() functions in this file are referenced unconditionally by hwpmc(4).
This is mostly a stop-gap. The pmc_cpu_is*() function should probably be declared inline in <sys/pmc.h> or <sys/pmckern.h> and the function pointers with corresponding SX lock should probably be moved to another file and compiled conditionally upon HWPMC_HOOKS.
