The automation can set TARGET_ARCH and TARGET and then make various
top-level targets, including buildLINT and buildkernel (with
KERNCONF=LINT). Previously there was no way to generate the LINT
kernel configuration without having to do something exceptionally
painful.
(implemented by ffs_reallocblks_ufs[12]) relocates the file's blocks
so as to cluster them together into a contiguous set of blocks on
the disk.
When the cluster crosses the boundary into the first indirect block,
the first indirect block is initially allocated in a position
immediately following the last direct block. Block reallocation
would usually destroy locality by moving the indirect block out of
the way to keep the data blocks contiguous. This change compensates
for this problem by noting that the first indirect block should be
left immediately following the last direct block. It then tries
to start a new cluster of contiguous blocks (referenced by the
indirect block) immediately following the indirect block.
We should also do this for other indirect block boundaries, but it
is only important for the first one.

give rwlock(9) the ability to crunch different type of structures, with
the only constraint that they have a lock cookie named rw_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use
the rwlock(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for
their members.
Namely such structs are the current struct rwlock and the new struct
rwlock_padalign. The new structure will define an object which has the
same layout of a struct rwlock but will be allocated in areas aligned
to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.
For further details check comments on above mentioned revisions.

Since I've committed this I've receieved roughly an equal

and asking me to revert it.
I've resisted making this change because
new users tend to prefer less over more
