Wipe out the last vestiges of POOL_INIT with one swift stroke. In
most cases, use a proper constructor. For proplib, give a local
equivalent of POOL_INIT for the kernel object implementation. This
way the code structure can be preserved, and a local link set is
not hazardous anyway (unless proplib is split to several modules,
but that'll be the day).

Initialize devsw (lock) early so that subsystems may play with it.

Do not attach gpiosim(4) at root, but make it a pseudo device.
With help from Matthias Drochner, thanks!

Allow gpiosim(4) to attach if configured in the kernel configuration.

Make POSIX message queues a kernel module.

Don't send the quiet banner to the log, since the usual noise gets dumped

PR port-i386/40143 Viewing an mpeg transport stream with mplayer causes crash

Fix numerous problems:

1. LDT updates are not atomic.

2. Number of processes running with private LDTs and/or I/O bitmaps
is not capped. System with high maxprocs can be paniced.

3. LDTR can be leaked over context switch.

4. GDT slot allocations can race, giving the same LDT slot to two procs.

5. Incomplete interrupt/trap frames can be stacked.

6. In some rare cases segment faults are not handled correctly.

Unbreak ssp kernels. The issue here that when the ssp_init() call was deferred,
it caused the return from the enclosing function to break, as well as the
ssp return on i386. To fix both issues, split configure in two pieces
the one before calling ssp_init and the one after, and move the ssp_init()
call back in main. Put ssp_init() in its own file, and compile this new file
with -fno-stack-protector. Tested on amd64.
XXX: If we want to have ssp kernels working on 5.0, this change needs to
be pulled up.

Ksyms are optional, so make the call to ksyms_init() dependent

As discussed on tech-kern: mutex_init is too heavyweight for early bootstrap
phases, so move the initialization of the ksyms mutex back into main via
a function called ksyms_init. Rename the existing (but quite different)
ksyms_init* variations into ksyms_addsyms_elf() and ksyms_addsyms_explicit()
and adapt machdep code accordingly.
