filesystem softdep_process_worklist() is called in a loop until it indicates
that no dependancies remain, but the determination of that fact depends on
there only being one softdep_process_worklist() instance running. It was
possible for the syncer to also be running softdep_process_worklist()
and the pre-existing checks in the code to prevent this were not sufficient
to prevent the race. This patch solves the problem.

- Add a note about the special locking semantics used for members such as
p_cred that are read by multiple processes but only written to by the
current process.
- Change p_upages_obj's locking key to note that it is created at fork
and left alone afterwards (the actual pointer, not what it points to.)
- Mark p_intr_nesting_level as being implicitly locked since only curproc
accesses it.

With these scripts i was able to build a _working_ image of a
bridge-like floppy image with a reasonable set of utilities
in it, despite the code size increase we have in 5.0
The scripts are slightly different from the previous ones especially
on the place where the kernel and binaries are built. Hopefully
this will not cause too much trouble to people (is there any???)

The netgraph_bpf node forced bpf to be present, reflect that in the
options.
Stop doing a 'count bpf' - we provide stubs.
Since a handful of drivers still refer to "bpf.h", provide a more accurate
indication that the API is present always. (eg: netinet6)
With this flag set malloc() will panic if memory allocation failed.
This usable only in critical places where failed allocation is fatal.

This could be used as an example of how to do this in other drivers,

fsyncs, which typically occur during unmounting, will drain all dirty
buffers even if it takes multiple passes to do so. The guarentee was
mangled by the last patch which solved a problem due to -current disabling
interrupts while holding giant (which caused an infinite spin loop waiting for
I/O to complete). -stable does not have either patch, but has a similar
bug in the original spec_fsync() code which is triggered by a bug in the
softupdates umount code, a fix for which will be committed to -current
as soon as Kirk stamps it. Then both solutions will be MFC'd to -stable.
-stable currently suffers from a combination of the softupdates bug and
a small window of opportunity in the original spec_fsync() code, and -stable
also suffers from the spin-loop bug but since interrupts are enabled the
spin resolves itself in a few milliseconds.

My guess is that reducing the number of tags is just masking the real
problem for the PR submitter. I'll re-open the PR and see if I can work
with the submitter to diagnose the problem.

Add another check for thread library initialization (jdp, we
really need a way to get _thread_init called at program start
before any constructors are run).
and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:
__sys_foo - actual syscall
foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo
Change PSEUDO syscalls (currently only _exit and _getlogin) to
be __sys_foo (T) and _foo (W).
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to satisfy commitprep.

machines (duh!). This was one reason why this script broke on
i386. The other being that on i386 sections did not have the
proper alignment. This has been fixed in sys/sys/linker_set.h.
declarations will not be aligned by default.
o Remove the alignment work-around for alpha. Our current alpha
as(1) does not assume alignment after section switching, nor
does the ia64 as(1).
