the knowledge of mbuf layout, and in particular constants such as M_EXT,
MLEN, MHLEN, and so on, in mbuf consumers by unifying various alignment
utility functions (M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), MEXT_ALIGN() in a single
M_ALIGN() macro, implemented by a now-inlined m_align() function:
- Move m_align() from uipc_mbuf.c to mbuf.h; mark as __inline.
- Reimplement M_ALIGN(), MH_ALIGN(), and MEXT_ALIGN() using m_align().
- Update consumers around the tree to simply use M_ALIGN().
This change eliminates a number of cases where mbuf consumers must be aware
of whether or not mbufs returned by the allocator use external storage, but
also assumptions about the size of the returned mbuf. This will make it
easier to introduce changes in how we use external storage, as well as
features such as variable-size mbufs.

This fixes a long standing annoyance for external free functions.
Before one had to sacrifice one of the argument pointers for this.

(sys/dev/iscsi_initiator/ instead of sys/dev/iscsi/initiator/), to make
room for the new one. This is also more logical location (kernel module
being named iscsi_initiator.ko, for example). There is no ongoing work
on this I know of, so it shouldn't make life harder for anyone.
There are no functional changes, apart from "svn mv" and adjusting paths.
