kern.proc.proc_td returns the process table with an entry for each
thread. Previously the description included "no threads", presumably
a cut-and-pasteo in 2648efa621.

Originally IFCAP_NOMAP meant that the mbuf has external storage pointer
that points to unmapped address. Then, this was extended to array of
such pointers. Then, such mbufs were augmented with header/trailer.
Basically, extended mbufs are extended, and set of features is subject
to change. The new name should be generic enough to avoid further
renaming.
This follows select by eleminating the use of filedesc lock.
This is a win for single-threaded processes and a mixed bag for others
as at small concurrency it is faster to take the lock instead of
refing/unrefing each file descriptor.
Nonetheless, removal of shared lock usage is a step towards a
mtx-protected fd table.
Since most select users are single-threaded this avoid a lot of work
in the common case.
For example select of 16 fds (ops/s):
before: 2114536
after: 2991010
This can be used by single-threaded processes which don't share a file
descriptor table to access their file objects without having to
reference them.
For example select consumers tend to match the requirement and have
several file descriptors to inspect.
It's possible when adding a jail that its dying parent comes back to
life. Only allow that to happen when JAIL_DYING is specified. And if
it does happen, call PR_METHOD_CREATE on it.
It is possible for a buf to be reassigned between the dirty and clean
lists while gbincore_unlocked() looks in each list. Avoid creating
a buffer in that case and fallback to a locked lookup.
This fixes a regression from r363482.
More discussion on potential improvements to the clean and dirty lists
handling is in the review.

With the upcoming usage from LinuxKPI but also from drivers
ported natively we are seeing more probing of various
firmware (names).
Add the ability to firmware(9) to silence the
"firmware image loading/registering errors" by adding a new
firmware_get_flags() functions extending firmware_get() and
taking a flags argument as firmware_put() already does.

The code was performing an avoidable check for doomed state to account
for foo being a VDIR but turning VBAD. Now that dooming puts a vnode
in a permanent "modify" state this is no longer necessary as the final
status check will catch it.
It is best for auditing of syscalls.master if we only append to the
file. Reserving unimplemented system call numbers for local use makes
this policy and provides a large set of syscall numbers FreeBSD
derivatives can use without risk of conflict.

Instead of resorting to seqc modification take advantage of immutability
of entries and check if the entry still matches after everything got
prepared.
The change to use refcounts for pr_uref was mishandled in
prison_proc_free, so killing a jail's last process could add
an extra reference, leaving it an unkillable zombie.

Use refcount(9) for both pr_ref and pr_uref in struct prison. This
allows prisons to held and freed without requiring the prison mutex.
An exception to this is that dropping the last reference will still
lock the prison, to keep the guarantee that a locked prison remains
valid and alive (provided it was at the time it was locked).
Among other things, this honors the promise made in a comment in
crcopy(9), that it will not block, which hasn't been true for two
decades.
This allows slightly more efficient opcode testing in-kernel. It is
transparent to userland, except to applications that sneakily submit
aio fsync or aio mlock operations via lio_listio, which has never been
documented, requires the use of deliberately undefined constants
(LIO_SYNC and LIO_MLOCK), and is arguably a bug.

- Only check for empty domains if we actually tried to configure domain
affinity in the first place. Otherwise setting bind_threads=1 will
always cause the sysctl value to be reported as zero. This is
harmless since the threads end up being bound, but it's confusing.
- Try to improve the sysctl description a bit.

Previously the code would branch on top find out whether it should
branch on SDT probe and bumping the numposhits counter, depending
on cache_fplookup_cross_mount.
Arguably it should be done regardless of what said function returns.
Move prison_hold, prison_hold_locked ,prison_proc_hold, and
prison_proc_free to a more intuitive part of the file (together with
with prison_free and prison_free_locked), and add or improve comments
to these and others, to better describe what's going in the prison
reference cycle.
No functional changes.
Use a machdep.nirq tunable intead of compile-time constant NIRQ
as a value for maximum number of interrupts. It allows keep a system
footprint small by default with an option to increase the limit
for large systems like server-grade ARM64
