symlink /dev to /. This makes it possible to lookup /dev/foo.
Mount "real" root filesystem on /.
Surgically move the devfs mountpoint from under the real root
filesystem onto /dev in the real root filesystem.
Remove now unnecessary getdiskbyname().

Adjust to more contemporary circumstances and gain type checking.
Replace the entire vop_t frobbing thing with properly typed

VOP_ method with a loadable module. History has not given
us reason to belive this would ever be feasible in the the
first place.
Eliminate in toto VOCALL(), vop_t, VNODEOP_SET() etc.
Give coda correct prototypes and function definitions for
all vop_()s.
Generate a bit more data from the vnode_if.src file: a
struct vop_vector and protype typedefs for all vop methods.
Add a new vop_bypass() and make vop_default be a pointer
to another struct vop_vector.
Remove a lot of vfs_init since vop_vector is ready to use
from the compiler.
Cast various vop_mumble() to void * with uppercase name,
for instance VOP_PANIC, VOP_NULL etc.
Implement VCALL() by making vdesc_offset the offsetof() the
relevant function pointer in vop_vector. This is disgusting
but since the code is generated by a script comparatively
safe. The alternative for nullfs etc. would be much worse.
Fix up all vnode method vectors to remove casts so they
become typesafe. (The bulk of this is generated by scripts)

Add the check to see if fp->f_vnode->v_rdev differs from our cached
fp->f_data copy of our cdev. If it does the device was revoked and
we return ENXIO.
The tunable vfs.devfs.fops controls this feature and defaults to off.
When enabled (vfs.devfs.fops=1 in loader), device vnodes opened
through a filedescriptor gets a special fops vector which instead
of the detour through the vnode layer goes directly to DEVFS.
Amongst other things this allows us to run Giant free read/write to
device drivers which have been weaned off D_NEEDGIANT.
Currently this means /dev/null, /dev/zero, disks, (and maybe the
random stuff ?)
On a 700MHz K7 machine this doubles the speed of
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1000000
This roughly translates to shaving 2usec of each read/write syscall.
The poll/kqfilter paths need more work before they are giant free,

We keep si_bsize_phys around for now as that is the simplest way to pull

In devfs_symlink(), cache the passed thread in 'td' so we don't have
to keep retrieving it from the 'ap' structure, and assert that td is
curthread (since we dereference it to get thread-local td_ucred). Use
'td' in preference to curthread for later lockmgr calls, since they are

access its controlling terminal.
In essense, history dictates that any process is allowed to open
/dev/tty for RW, irrespective of credential, because by definition
it is it's own controlling terminal.
Before DEVFS we relied on a hacky half-device thing (kern/tty_tty.c)
which did the magic deep down at device level, which at best was
disgusting from an architectural point of view.
My first shot at this was to use the cloning mechanism to simply
give people the right tty when they ask for /dev/tty, that's why
you get this, slightly counter intuitive result:
syv# ls -l /dev/tty `tty`
crw--w---- 1 u1 tty 5, 0 Jan 13 22:14 /dev/tty
crw--w---- 1 u1 tty 5, 0 Jan 13 22:14 /dev/ttyp0
Trouble is, when user u1 su(1)'s to user u2, he cannot open
/dev/ttyp0 anymore because he doesn't have permission to do so.
The above fix allows him to do that.
The interesting side effect is that one was previously only able
to access the controlling tty by indirection:
date > /dev/tty
but not by name:
date > `tty`
This is now possible, and that feels a lot more like DTRT.

"refreshing" the label on the vnode before use, just get the label
right from inception. For single-label file systems, set the label
in the generic VFS getnewvnode() code; for multi-label file systems,
leave the labeling up to the file system. With UFS1/2, this means
reading the extended attribute during vfs_vget() as the inode is
pulled off disk, rather than hitting the extended attributes
frequently during operations later, improving performance. This
also corrects sematics for shared vnode locks, which were not
previously present in the system. This chances the cache
coherrency properties WRT out-of-band access to label data, but in
an acceptable form. With UFS1, there is a small race condition
during automatic extended attribute start -- this is not present
with UFS2, and occurs because EAs aren't available at vnode
inception. We'll introduce a work around for this shortly.

such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
