ULE status, invalid load, buildkernel times.

I have a patch available at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~jeff/ulehtt.diff

This resolves issues in the code that handles HTT enabled processors and 
also adds some ULE information to bootverbose on SMP systems.  Peter Wemm 
has a seperate patch that fixes a bug where some amd64 cpus were still 
being misidentified as HTT.  Those of you with invalid loads either have 
Hyper-threading CPUs or misidentified amd cores.  You should expect 
slightly poorer performance as long as your cores are misidentified but 
the bad loads should be fixed.

I also believe that the buildkernel/world times are now significantly 
improved.  If this is not the case for you please send a mail.  Any other 
performance data is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
