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
