Important users of unr like tmpfs or pipes can get away with just
ever-increasing counters, making the overhead of managing the state
for 32 bit counters a pessimization.
Change it to an atomic variable. This can be further sped up by making
the counts variable "allocate" ranges and store them per-cpu.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
In r324542 I neglected to reset the first and last fields of struct
unrhdr. This causes a tmpfs to fail the unr(9) consistency checks with
DIAGNOSTIC on. Fix this by resetting the fields by calling init_unrhdr.
While here, change a loop to use TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE since it is more
readable and equally fast.

Previously before you could call unrhdr_delete you needed to
individually free every allocated unit. It is useful to be able to tear
down the unr without having to go through this process, as it is
significantly faster than freeing the individual units.

Add a bit_count function, which efficiently counts the number of bits set in
a bitstring.
sys/sys/bitstring.h
tests/sys/sys/bitstring_test.c
share/man/man3/bitstring.3
Add bit_alloc
sys/kern/subr_unit.c
Use bit_count instead of a naive counting loop in check_unrhdr, used
when INVARIANTS are enabled. The userland test runs about 6x faster
in a generic build, or 8.5x faster when built for Nehalem, which has
the POPCNT instruction.

Two new functions are provided, bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(), which allow
for efficient searching of set or cleared bits starting from any bit offset
within the bit string.
Performance is improved by operating on longs instead of bytes and using
ffsl() for searches within a long. ffsl() is a compiler builtin in both
clang and gcc for most architectures, converting what was a brute force
while loop search into a couple of instructions.
All of the bitstring(3) API continues to be contained in the header file.
Some of the functions are large enough that perhaps they should be uninlined
and moved to a library, but that is beyond the scope of this commit.
sys/sys/bitstring.h:
Convert the majority of the existing bit string implementation from
macros to inline functions.
Properly protect the implementation from inadvertant macro expansion
when included in a user's program by prefixing all private
macros/functions and local variables with '_'.
Add bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(). Implement bit_ffs() and
bit_ffc() in terms of their "at" counterparts.
Provide a kernel implementation of bit_alloc(), making the full API
usable in the kernel.
Improve code documenation.
share/man/man3/bitstring.3:
Add pre-exisiting API bit_ffc() to the synopsis.
Document new APIs.
Document the initialization state of the bit strings
allocated/declared by bit_alloc() and bit_decl().
Correct documentation for bitstr_size(). The original code comments
indicate the size is in bytes, not "elements of bitstr_t". The new
implementation follows this lead. Only hastd assumed "elements"
rather than bytes and it has been corrected.

sys/kern/subr_unit.c:
Remove hard-coded assumption that sizeof(bitstr_t) is 1. Get rid of
unrb.busy, which caches the number of bits set in unrb.map. When
INVARIANTS are disabled, nothing needs to know that information.
callapse_unr can be adapted to use bit_ffs and bit_ffc instead.
Eliminating unrb.busy saves memory, simplifies the code, and
provides a slight speedup when INVARIANTS are disabled.

Use the new kernel implementation of bit-alloc, instead of hacking
the old libc-dependent macro.

numbers. This change adds a new function alloc_unr_specific() which
returns the requested unit number if it is free. If the number is
already allocated or out of the range, -1 is returned.
Update alloc_unr(9) manual page accordingly and add a MLINK for

shall not be called while holding cdev mutex. devfs_inos unrhdr has cdev as
mutex, thus creating this LOR situation.
Postpone calling free() in kern/subr_unit.c:alloc_unr() and nested functions
until the unrhdr mutex is dropped. Save the freed items on the ppfree list
instead, and provide the clean_unrhdrl() and clean_unrhdr() functions to
clean the list.
Call clean_unrhdrl() after devfs_create() calls immediately before
dropping cdev mutex. devfs_create() is the only user of the alloc_unrl()
in the tree.

Add support for passing in a mutex. If NULL is passed a global
subr_unit mutex is used.
Add alloc_unrl() which expects the mutex to be held.
Allocating a unit will never sleep as it does not need to allocate
memory.
Cut possible range in half so we can use -1 to mean "out of number".
Collapse first and last runs into the head by means of counters.
This saves memory in the common case(s).
Allocation is always lowest free unit number.
A mixed range/bitmap strategy for maximum memory efficiency. In
the typical case where no unit numbers are freed total memory usage
is 56 bytes on i386.
malloc is called M_WAITOK but no locking is provided (yet). A bit of
experience will be necessary to determine the best strategy. Hopefully
a "caller provides locking" strategy can be maintained, but that may
require use of M_NOWAIT allocation and failure handling.
A userland test driver is included.
