_BIG5_sgetrune() in libc doesn't work well, this commit will fix it.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)
Join CDEV_DRIVER_MODULE and BDEV_DRIVER_MODULE to DEV_DRIVER_MODULE
(ditto!)
(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)

Clarify what names can be used for Vinum drives, and what will happen
to you if you use other names.

many others, but those were the only three today.
Mark the GDB port in the config file with flags 0x80. Currently
only the sio driver checks these flags and sets up a GDB port,
but adding similar code to other serial drivers would be easy.
For backward compatibility, if an sio port is marked as the console
and no port is marked as the gdb port, the GDB port will be mapped
to the console port. This hack should go away at some point.
options:
-o fstab brings in filesystem options specified in /etc/fstab
-o current incorporates the current set of options for the file
system
The rightmost option wins in the case of conflicting options being
specified.
E.g.:-
# mount -u -o current,nosuid /home
will preserve the current mount options while adding the 'nosuid' flag.

files at once on a filesystem running soft updates. The root of
the problem is that soft updates limits the amount of memory that
may be allocated to dependency structures so as to avoid hogging
kernel memory. The original algorithm just waited for the disk I/O
to catch up and reduce the number of dependencies. This new code
takes a much more aggressive approach. Basically there are two
resources that routinely hit the limit. Inode dependencies during
periods with a high file creation rate and file and block removal
dependencies during periods with a high file removal rate. I have
attacked these problems from two fronts. When the inode dependency
limits are reached, I pick a random inode dependency, UFS_UPDATE
it together with all the other dirty inodes contained within its
disk block and then write that disk block. This trick usually
clears 5-50 inode dependencies in a single disk I/O. For block and
file removal dependencies, I pick a random directory page that has
at least one remove pending and VOP_FSYNC its directory. That
releases all its removal dependencies to the work queue. To further
hasten things along, I also immediately start the work queue process
rather than waiting for its next one second scheduled run.
