Instead of:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));
You can now (and please do) use:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);
In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
malloc-space.
sync with the implementation. Vnode locks *are* required for these
operations, as some underlying implementations will require them.

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

it was converted to a enumerated list instead.

and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.
Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.
Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.
