signed / unsigned comparisons, and shoving unused function arguments

I was hoping WARNS?=6 might reveal more serious problems, and perhaps
the source of the -O2 breakage, but found no smoking gun.
- Eliminate the use of a recursive mutex.
- Mark the driver INTR_MPSAFE.
This work is incomplete and will be refined in a future commit.
- Most notably, _locked() variants of entry points need to be introduced.
- The mii upcall/downcall may still be racy.
- Add a stubbed-out guard against racing rl_detach() for the time being.

Use C99 types. Use ANSI function definitions. Sort prototypes.
Split long lines correctly. Punctuate/wordsmith comments.
Use device_printf()/if_printf() where possible.

- Eliminate the use of a recursive mutex.
- Mark the driver as INTR_MPSAFE.
- Split the default media choice code out into xl_choose_media() to
avoid making poor assumptions about the state of the lock during attach.
- The miibus upcall/downcall paths may still be racy.
Change to commented-out locking assertions there for now.
- Tested with nfsclient, routed, ssh, ntp, dhclient and quagga bgpd.
- This needs SMP test coverage. I do not have such resources.

Speed up the syncer when shutting down by sleeping for a shorter
period of time instead of cranking up rushjob and using the
normal one second sleep.
Skip empty worklist slots when shutting down to avoid lengthy
intervals of inactivity.
Give I/O more time to complete between steps by not speeding the
syncer quite as much.
Terminate the syncer after one full pass through the worklist
plus one second with the worklist containing nothing but syncer
vnodes.
Print an indication of shutdown progress to the console.
Add a sysctl, vfs.worklist_len, to allow the size of the syncer worklist
to be monitored.
- Use device_printf() during device probe/attach.
- Move if_xname initialization to before xl_reset() is called.
- Use if_printf() at all other times after struct ifnet has been
initialized.
FFLAG_NEEDSYNC and fsync the file when select() next returns zero. This
dramatically speeds up the process of logging large amounts of data, while
leaving the essential semantics (that data can be expected to be on disk
if we crash) unchanged.
In my tests, this speeds up the rc phase of booting by 18-20%. [1]

attempts to allocate memory to hold multicast group membership information
with M_WAITOK.
This panic was triggered specifically when an exiting routing daemon
process closes its raw sockets after joining multicast groups on them.
While we're here, comment some possible locking badness.

We still need a better way to get this information from acpi/hardware.

dereferenced directly. Toss an ifdef around it for the moment and
allow this to compile. This likely means that priority packets aren't
queued to the special high priority queue. The maintainer of this
should look into the problem.
This is likely fallout from the netgraph migration to using a more
generic meta tag from the mbug recently.

and WITNESS is not built, then force all M_WAITOK allocations to
M_NOWAIT behavior (transparently). This is to be used temporarily
if wierd deadlocks are reported because we still have code paths
that perform M_WAITOK allocations with lock(s) held, which can
lead to deadlock. If WITNESS is compiled, then the sysctl is ignored
and we ask witness to tell us wether we have locks held, converting
to M_NOWAIT behavior only if it tells us that we do.
Note this removes the previous mbuf.h inclusion as well (only needed
by last revision), and cleans up unneeded [artificial] comparisons
to just the mbuf zones. The problem described above has nothing to
do with previous mbuf wait behavior; it is a general problem.
