it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
umountable file systems, hung processes, or system panics:
- Some operations could return without decrementing the vnode
reference count.
- Some operations could leave the vnode locked.
- Generalize the /kern/rootdev & rrootdev files so that they
are no longer special cased in kernfs_lookup().
Note: procfs, fdescfs, and most of the other miscfs/* file systems
also suffer from the same type of problems and I will work on
fixing them one at a time.
regular user could panic the machine with a simple "tail /proc/curproc/mem"
command. The problem was twofold: both kernfs and procfs didn't fill in
the mnt_stat statfs struct (which would later lead to an integer divide
fault in the vnode pager), and kernfs bogusly paniced if a bmap was
attempted.

- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
