on every allocation and fully releases them on every free. These
are not trivial costs: it starts by zeroing a large structure then
initializes a mutex, a lock manager lock, an rw lock, four lists,
and six pointers. And looking at vfs.vnodes_created, these operations
are being done millions of times an hour on a busy machine.
As a performance optimization, this code update uses the uma_init
and uma_fini routines to do these initializations and cleanups only
as the vnodes enter and leave the vnode_zone. With this change the
initializations are only done kern.maxvnodes times at system startup
and then only rarely again. The frees are done only if the vnode_zone
shrinks which never happens in practice. For those curious about the
avoided work, look at the vnode_init() and vnode_fini() functions in
kern/vfs_subr.c to see the code that has been removed from the main
vnode allocation/free path.

the name of a filesystem when setting it as the first parameter to the
getnewvnode() function. Most filesystems call getnewvnode from just one
place so can use a literal string as the first parameter. However, NFS
calls getnewvnode from two places, so we create a global constant string
that can be used by the two instances. This change also collapses two
instances of getnewvnode() in the UFS filesystem to a single call.

The AHCI interrupt status register must be updated in HW before
registers in interrupt controller.
Unfortunately, only way how we can do it is readback.

This is a 2x2 2GHz 802.11n part. It works enough at the moment to
bring up, scan and associate. I haven't started using this as
a day to day AP.
The specifics:
* add honeybee initvals
* add in changes; a mix from the QCA HAL and ath9k;
* fix a bug in AR_SREV_AR9580_10_OR_LATER(), which is only used
for one capability check and we don't even implement it - so it's
a big no-op.
Shady things:
* ath9k has the "platform data" define the 25/40MHz clock.
This HAL .. doesn't. Honeybee gets hard-coded to 25MHz which
it likely shouldn't be. I'll have to go and identify/fix those.
Tested:
* Qualcomm Atheros AP143 reference design board.

Using a typedef for common code return types (rather than "int")
allows the Prefast static analyser to understand when a function
has been successful (and thus when its postconditions must hold).
This greatly reduces then number of false positives reported by
prefast for error paths in common code functions.

Dynamic config partitions on boards that support RFID are divided into
a number of segments, each formatted like a partition, with header,
trailer and end tags. The first segment is the current active
configuration.
The segments are initialised by manftest and each contain a different
configuration e.g. firmware variant. The firmware can be instructed
via RFID to copy a segment over the first segment, hence changing the
active configuration. This allows ops to change the configuration of
a board prior to shipment using RFID.
Changes to the dynamic config may need to be written to all segments (in
particular firmware versions written by manftest) or just the first
segment (changes to the active configuration). See SF-111324-SW.
If only the first segment is written the code still needs to be aware of
the possible presence of subsequent segments as writing to a segment may
cause its size to increase, which would overwrite the subsequent
segments and invalidate them.
Boards that do not support RFID will only have one segment in their
dynamic config partition.

sv_prepsyscall is unused.
sv_sigsize and sv_sigtbl translate signal number from the FreeBSD
namespace into the ABI domain. It is only utilized on i386 for iBCS2
binaries. The issue with this approach is that signals for iBCS2 were
delivered with the FreeBSD signal frame layout, which does not follow
iBCS2. The same note is true for any other potential user if
sv_sigtbl. In other words, if ABI needs signal number translation, it
really needs custom sv_sendsig method instead.

Some architectures (including ARMv6/v7) do not have separate single step
events and cannot see difference between breakpoint and single step.
Add db_pc_is_singlestep() to avoid skipping instruction we stepped on
