is an effective band-aid for at least some of the scheduler corruption seen
recently. The real fix will involve protecting threads while they are
inconsistent, and will come later.

requires a recompile of netgraph users.
Also change the size of a field in the bluetooth code
that was waiting for the next change that needed recompiles so
it could piggyback its way in.

changes to the ATA driver cause a kernel crash, no fault of the ATA
code. Work is in progress to add the necessary feature to the sparc64
kernel and this commit will be backed out when it is complete. This
bandaid is being put in mostly in the interests of getting the first
release snapshot done and out the door.
Tested on: Ultra-10 exhibiting the insta-panic.

If the bioq is empty, NULL is returned. Otherwise the front element
is removed and returned.
This can simplify locking in many drivers from:
lock()
bp = bioq_first(bq);
if (bp == NULL) {
unlock()
return
}
bioq_remove(bp, bq)
unlock
to:
lock()
bp = bioq_takefirst(bq);
unlock()
if (bp == NULL)
return;
Since pmap_enter() calls pmap_invalidate_page(), which needs interrupts
enabled in the SMP case, we defer the disable to right before saving the
register context. This has been incorrect for about a year but caused no
real problems because the identity page never actually replaces a previously
mapped page and suspend/resume on SMP systems has been uncommon.

the ipfw KLD.
For IPFIREWALL_FORWARD this does not have any side effects. If the module
has it but not the kernel it just doesn't do anything.
For IPDIVERT the KLD will be unloadable if the kernel doesn't have IPDIVERT
compiled in too. However this is the least disturbing behaviour. The user
can just recompile either module or the kernel to match the other one. The
access to the machine is not denied if ipfw refuses to load.
have been unified with that of msleep(9), further refine the sleepq
interface and consolidate some duplicated code:
- Move the pre-sleep checks for theaded processes into a
thread_sleep_check() function in kern_thread.c.
- Move all handling of TDF_SINTR to be internal to subr_sleepqueue.c.
Specifically, if a thread is awakened by something other than a signal
while checking for signals before going to sleep, clear TDF_SINTR in
sleepq_catch_signals(). This removes a sched_lock lock/unlock combo in
that edge case during an interruptible sleep. Also, fix
sleepq_check_signals() to properly handle the condition if TDF_SINTR is
clear rather than requiring the callers of the sleepq API to notice
this edge case and call a non-_sig variant of sleepq_wait().
- Clarify the flags arguments to sleepq_add(), sleepq_signal() and
sleepq_broadcast() by creating an explicit submask for sleepq types.
Also, add an explicit SLEEPQ_MSLEEP type rather than a magic number of
0. Also, add a SLEEPQ_INTERRUPTIBLE flag for use with sleepq_add() and
move the setting of TDF_SINTR to sleepq_add() if this flag is set rather
than sleepq_catch_signals(). Note that it is the caller's responsibility
to ensure that sleepq_catch_signals() is called if and only if this flag
is passed to the preceeding sleepq_add(). Note that this also removes a
sched_lock lock/unlock pair from sleepq_catch_signals(). It also ensures
that for an interruptible sleep, TDF_SINTR is always set when
TD_ON_SLEEPQ() is true.
