terminating ';', leaving that to the invoker. All SYSINIT()
consumers must now provide a trailing ';'.
Unlike the change to remove the ';'s from callers, this change
shouldn't be MFC'd unless we don't mind requiring source changes
to third party modules that might still depend on SYSINIT()
providing its own ';'.
ZFS porting style didn't extend this, instead using a heap of additional

framework for non-MPSAFE network protocols:
- Remove debug_mpsafenet variable, sysctl, and tunable.
- Remove NET_NEEDS_GIANT() and associate SYSINITSs used by it to force
debug.mpsafenet=0 if non-MPSAFE protocols are compiled into the kernel.
- Remove logic to automatically flag interrupt handlers as non-MPSAFE if
debug.mpsafenet is set for an INTR_TYPE_NET handler.
- Remove logic to automatically flag netisr handlers as non-MPSAFE if
debug.mpsafenet is set.
- Remove references in a few subsystems, including NFS and Cronyx drivers,
which keyed off debug_mpsafenet to determine various aspects of their own
locking behavior.
- Convert NET_LOCK_GIANT(), NET_UNLOCK_GIANT(), and NET_ASSERT_GIANT into
no-op's, as their entire behavior was determined by the value in
debug_mpsafenet.
- Alias NET_CALLOUT_MPSAFE to CALLOUT_MPSAFE.
Many remaining references to NET_.*_GIANT() and NET_CALLOUT_MPSAFE are still
present in subsystems, and will be removed in followup commits.

- If we fail to register the system call during MOD_LOAD, then note that
so that we don't try to deregister it or invoke the chained event handler
during the subsequent MOD_UNLOAD event. Doing the deregister when the
register failed could result in trashing system call entries.
- Add a SI_SUB_SYSCALLS just before starting up init and use that to
register syscall modules instead of SI_SUB_DRIVERS. Registering system
calls as late as possible increases the chances that any other module
event handlers or SYSINITs in a module are executed to initialize the
data in a kld before a syscall dependent on that data is able to be
invoked.

will cause the network stack to operate without the Giant lock by
default. This change has the potential to improve performance by
increasing parallelism and decreasing latency in network processing.
Due to the potential exposure of existing or new bugs, the following
compatibility functionality is maintained:
- It is still possible to disable Giant-free operation by setting
debug.mpsafenet to 0 in loader.conf.
- Add "options NET_WITH_GIANT", which will restore the default value of
debug.mpsafenet to 0, and is intended for use on systems compiled with
known unsafe components, or where a more conservative configuration is
desired.
- Add a new declaration, NET_NEEDS_GIANT("componentname"), which permits
kernel components to declare dependence on Giant over the network
stack. If the declaration is made by a preloaded module or a compiled
in component, the disposition of debug.mpsafenet will be set to 0 and
a warning concerning performance degraded operation printed to the
console. If it is declared by a loadable kernel module after boot, a
warning is displayed but the disposition cannot be changed. This is
implemented by defining a new SYSINIT() value, SI_SUB_SETTINGS, which
is intended for the processing of configuration choices after tunables
are read in and the console is available to generate errors, but
before much else gets going.
This compatibility behavior will go away when we've finished the last
of the locking work and are confident that operation is correct.

multiple mutex pools with different options and sizes. Mutex pools can
be created with either the default sleep mutexes or with spin mutexes.
A dynamically created mutex pool can now be destroyed if it is no longer
needed.
Create two pools by default, one that matches the existing pool that
uses the MTX_NOWITNESS option that should be used for building higher
level locks, and a new pool with witness checking enabled.
Modify the users of the existing mutex pool to use the appropriate pool
in the new implementation.

statclock based on profhz when profiling is enabled MD, since most platforms
don't use this anyway. This removes the need for statclock_process, whose
only purpose was to subdivide profhz, and gets the profiling clock running
outside of sched_lock on platforms that implement suswintr.
Also changed the interface for starting and stopping the profiling clock to
do just that, instead of changing the rate of statclock, since they can now
be separate.

Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.
Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.
This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.
While doing this, move it earlier in the sysinit boot process so that the
VM system can use it.
After that, the system is now able to use sx locks instead of lockmgr
locks in the VM system. To accomplish this, some of the more
questionable uses of the locks (such as testing whether they are
owned or not, as well as allowing shared+exclusive recursion) are
removed, and simpler logic throughout is used so locks should also be
easier to understand.
This has been tested on my laptop for months, and has not shown any
problems on SMP systems, either, so appears quite safe. One more
user of lockmgr down, many more to go :)

- Add simple arbitration mechanism for APM vs. ACPI. This prevents
the kernel enables both of them.
- Remove obsolete `#ifdef DEV_APM' related code.
- Add abstracted interface for Powermanagement operations. Public apm(4)
functions, such as apm_suspend(), should be replaced new interfaces.
Currently only power_pm_suspend (successor of apm_suspend) is implemented.

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.
