the mount_nfs units from suddenly changing to units of 1/20 of a second

driver uses COMPAT_ISA shims, and those shims are going away.
It can be brought back if someone updates it to the latest APIs, and

in the two consumers that need it.. processes using AIO and netncp.
Update docs. Say that process_exec is called with Giant, but not to
depend on it. All our consumers can handle it without Giant.
Fix 'broken' ifdefs.
icc does not support profiling yet so remove unfinished code which was
supposed to help.

don't have all their magic programming information. Just use a generic

Assigning the default behaviour to this particular device is
incorrect, corrupting the video BIOS aperture, and breaking

we always grab Giant, even if we're actually only polling objects that
don't require giant. Once socket locking is merged, there will be
strong motivation to fix this.
While there, remove (caddr_t) casting of ethernet addresses, which
among other things discards the qualifier. This makes it clear that
atmulticastaddr does not require synchronization.
the last chunk are misaligned relative to a MAXBSIZE byte boundary.
vn_rdwr_inchunks() is used mainly for elf core dumps, and elf sections
are usually perfectly misaligned relative to MAXBSIZE, and chunking
prevents the file system from doing much realigning.
This gives a surprisingly large speedup for core dumps -- from 50 to
13 seconds for a 512MB core dump here. The pessimization was mostly
from an interaction of the misalignment with IO_DIRECT. It increased
the number of i/o's for each chunk by a factor of 5 (3 writes and 2
read-before-writes instead of 1 write).
