for better packing. This means that we can choose better values for the
various hash entries without having to try and get it all to fit within
an artificial power of two limit for malloc's sake.
in nfs_vinvalbuf() or the nfs_removeit(), we can have the nfsnode reallocated
from underneath us (eg: replaced by a ufs 'struct inode') which can cause
disk corruption ('freeing free block' when di_db[5] gets trashed).
This is not a cheap fix, but it'll do until the nfsnodes get reference
counting and/or locking.
Apparently NetBSD have a similar fix (apparently from BSDI).
I wish all PR's had this much useful detail. :-)

Distribute all but the most fundamental malloc types. This time I also
remembered the trick to making things static: Put "static" in front of
them.
A couple of finer points by: bde
plus the previous changes to use the zone allocator decrease the useage
of malloc by half. The Zone allocator will be upgradeable to be able
to use per CPU-pools, and has more intelligent usage of SPLs. Additionally,
it has reasonable stats gathering capabilities, while making most calls
inline.
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.
The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
process won't possibly block before filling in the fsnode pointer (v_data)
which might be dereferenced during a sync since the vnode is put on the
mnt_vnodelist by getnewvnode.

The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.
Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.
NFS diskless support is untested.
