Except for the case where we use the cloner library (clone_create() and
friends), there is no reason to enforce a unique device minor number
policy. There are various drivers in the source tree that allocate unr
pools and such to provide minor numbers, without using them themselves.
Because we still need to support unique device minor numbers for the
cloner library, introduce a new flag called D_NEEDMINOR. All cdevsw's
that are used in combination with the cloner library should be marked
with this flag to make the cloning work.
This means drivers can now freely use si_drv0 to store their own flags
and state, making it effectively the same as si_drv1 and si_drv2. We
still keep the minor() and dev2unit() routines around to make drivers
happy.
The NTFS code also used the minor number in its hash table. We should
not do this anymore. If the si_drv0 field would be changed, it would no
longer end up in the same list.

mtx interface for NDIS_LOCK/UNLOCK. This should result in less
CPU utilization on behalf of the ndis driver. Additionally, this
commit also fixes a potential LOR in the ndis_tick code, by
not locking inside the ndis_tick function, but instead delegating
that work to the helpers called through IoQueueWorkItem. The
way that this is currently set up for NDIS prevents us from
simply implementing a callout_init_mtx mechanism.
However, the helper functions that handle the various timeout
cases implement fine-grained locking using the spinlocks provided
by the NDIS-compat layer, and using the mtx that is added with
this commit. This leaves the following ndis_softc members operated
on in ndis_tick in an unlocked context:
* ndis_hang_timer - Only modified outside of ndis_tick once, before
the first callout_reset to schedule ndis_tick
* ifp->if_oerrors - Only incremented in two places, which should be
an atomic op
* ndis_tx_timer - Assigned to 5 (when guaranteed to be 0) or 0
(in txeof), to indicate to ndis_tick what to
do. This is the only member of which I was
suspicious for needing the NDIS_LOCK here. My
testing (and another's) have been fine so far.
* ndis_stat_callout - Only uses a simple set of callout routines,
callout_reset only called by ndis_tick after
the initial reset, and then callout_drain is
used exactly once in shutdown code.
The benefit is that ndis_tick doesn't acquire NDIS_LOCK unless one of
the timeout conditions is flagged, and it still obeys the locking
order semantics that are dictated by the NDIS layer at the moment. I
have been investigating a more thorough s/spinlock/mtx/ of the NDIS
layer, but the simplest naive approach (replace KeAcquireSpinLock
with an mtx implementation) has anti-succeeded for me so far. This
is a good first step though.

We still use the interrupt filter due to performance problems that show up if
we don't. The main problem seen is that, due to the interrupt being edge
triggered, we occasionally miss interrupts which leads us to not notice that
we can transmit more packets. Using the new approach, which just schedules
a task on a taskqueue, we are guaranteed to have the task run even if the
interrupt arrived while we were already executing. If we were to use an
ithread the system would mask the interrupt while the handler is run and we'd
miss interrupts.
allocated semaphores, so it's wrong to increase it conditionally,
in this case for every over-the-limit semaphore nsegs is decreased
without being previously increased.

In the FreeBSD base system, there are only two utilities that use struct
tty, namely pstat and sicontrol. The sicontrol utility calls the
TCSI_TTY ioctl(), which copies struct tty back to userspace.
sicontrol should not have this functionality. The same data is already
provided by pstat. If we really want to be able to export these numbers
through a file descriptor to userspace, we can export struct xtty, which
should provide a better abstraction. The ttystat option was only used as
a debugging aid.
This makes sicontrol compile in the mpsafetty branch.

Instead of referencing "socket", which is bogus, reference

newvers.sh is run pwd is actually the obj directory, so "../../.svn"
doesn't exist and the test always fails. The second is that buildkernel
is executed with a restrictive PATH, so unless you have svnversion in
/bin or /usr/bin it can't run.
Fix this by looking for svnversion in /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin
in that order. If found, store the location and derive the value of the
source directory. Then run svnversion in the appropriate directory.
There is one possible refinement which would be to add a test for
LOCALBASE!=/usr/local if we don't find svnversion the first time, but
IMO that's not necessary at this time.
