unhappiness lately.
As far as I can tell, no files that have made it safely to disk
have been endangered, but stuff in transit has been in peril.

- Introduce the amr_io_lock to control access to command queues, bio queues,
and the hardware.
- Eliminate the taskqueue and do all completion processing in the ithread.
- Assign a static slot number to each command instead of doing a linear
search for free slots each time a command is needed.
- Modify the interrupt handler to more closely match what Linux does, for
safety.
and BBO is BO's backing object. Now, suppose that O and BO are being
collapsed. Furthermore, suppose that BO has been marked dead
(OBJ_DEAD) by vm_object_backing_scan() and that either
vm_object_backing_scan() has been forced to sleep due to encountering
a busy page or vm_object_collapse() has been forced to sleep due to
memory allocation in the swap pager. If vm_object_deallocate() is
then called on BBO and BO is BBO's only shadow object,
vm_object_deallocate() will collapse BO and BBO. In doing so, it adds
a necessary temporary reference to BO. If this collapse also sleeps
and the prior collapse resumes first, the temporary reference will
cause vm_object_collapse to panic with the message "backing_object %p
was somehow re-referenced during collapse!"
Resolve this race by changing vm_object_deallocate() such that it
doesn't collapse BO and BBO if BO is marked dead. Once O and BO are
collapsed, vm_object_collapse() will attempt to collapse O and BBO.
So, vm_object_deallocate() on BBO need do nothing.

Without this fix, when ACLs are set via tunefs(8) on the root file system,
they are removed on boot when 'mount -a' is called, because mount(8)
called for the root file system always add MNT_UPDATE flag and MNT_UPDATE
flag isn't perfect.
Now, one cannot remove ACLs stored in superblock (configured with tunefs(8))
via 'mount -a' nor 'mount -u -o noacls <file system>', but it is still
possible to mount file system which doesn't have ACLs in superblock via
'mount -o acls <file system>' or /etc/fstab's 'acls' option.
