While I don't think this is the best solution, it certainly is the
fastest and in trying to find bottlenecks in network related code
I want this out of the way, so that I don't have to think about it.
What this means, for mbuf clusters anyway is:
- one less malloc() to do for every cluster allocation (replaced with
a relatively quick calculation + assignment)
- no more free() in the cluster free case (replaced with empty space) :-)
This can offer a substantial throughput improvement, but it may not for
all cases. Particularly noticable for larger buffer sends/recvs.
See http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/code/measure2.txt for a rough
idea.

These bits in essence made any instance of "softupdates expected

inode etc) result in a exit value for fsck_ffs of 2.

special actions for safety. One of these is to make sure that file descriptors
0..2 are in use, by opening /dev/null for those that are not already open.
Another is to close any file descriptors 0..2 that reference procfs. However,
these checks were made out of order, so that it was still possible for a
set-user-ID or set-group-ID process to be started with some of the file
descriptors 0..2 unused.

is that some cards built around fm801 chip have the same device ID, only
have radio tuner onboard, but no sound capabilities. Therefore, with such
card inserted and `device pcm' in kernel the user has a big problem, as
the fm801 driver effectively hangs the machine when trying to initialise
nonexistent ac97 codecs (it does 500 retries with 1 second interval!).
It would be better if MediaForte's engeneers were smart enough to put
different device ID into such cards, but it isn't an option.

the PAM_ECHO_PASS option on-the-fly is a NOP (though it wasn't with the
old pam_get_pass(3) code). Instead, call pam_prompt(3) directly. This
actually simplifies the code a bit.

swapped in, we do not have to ask for the scheduler thread to do
that.
- Assert that a process is not swapped out in runq functions and
swapout().
- Introduce thread_safetoswapout() for readability.
- In swapout_procs(), perform a test that may block (check of a
thread working on its vm map) first. This lets us call swapout()
with the sched_lock held, providing a better atomicity.

Define uintfptr_t properly for userland, but not for the kernel (I hope).
