"Could you do me a favor and fix sys_bsd.c to get the howmany() macro
from <sys/param.h>, instead of <sys/types.h>? This will save me from
having to worry about the unsync'd bits before making the change."

aac driver dependent on the linux emulation module. This was
especially bad for the release engineers who tried to move the
aac driver from the kernel onto the drivers floppy. The linux
compat bits for this driver are now in their own driver, aac_linux.
It can be loaded as a module or compiled into the kernel. For
the latter case, the AAC_COMPAT_LINUX option is needed, along with
the COMPAT_LINUX option.
I've tested this in every configuration I can think of. This is an
MFC candidate for 4.7.

unlocked accesses to v_usecount.
- Lock access to the buf lists in the various sync routines. interlock
locking could be avoided almost entirely in leaf filesystems if the
fsync function had a generic helper.
- Enable vfs_badlock_mutex by default.
- Assert that the vp is locked in VOP_UNLOCK.
- Use standard interlock macros in remaining code.
- Correct a race in getnewvnode().
- Lock access to v_numoutput with interlock.
- Lock access to buf lists and splay tree with interlock.
- Add VOP and VI asserts.
- Lock b_vnbufs with the vnode interlock.
- Add vrefcnt() for callers who want to retreive the vnode ref without
holding a lock. Add a comment that describes when this is safe.
- Add vholdl() and vdropl() so that callers who already own the interlock
can avoid race conditions and unnecessary unlocking.
- Move the VOP_GETATTR() in vflush() into the WRITECLOSE conditional case.
- Hold the interlock before droping the mntlist_mtx in vflush() to avoid
a race.
- Fix locking in vfs_msync().
Linux driver defines 0x103[B-E] so add those as well.

MFC: Immediately if re@ allows it, otherwise after 4.7-RELEASE
constant controlling expressions: in particular, removing #if 0 sections
is considered "rude". This commit changes the default so that such
things are passed through unchanged, and the old behaviour can be had
with the -k "kill konsts" flag.
