synchronizing IPv6 protocol control blocks and lists. These changes
are modeled on the inpcb locking for IPv4, submitted by Jennifer Yang,
and committed by Jeffrey Hsu. With these locking changes, IPv6 use of
inpcbs is now substantially more MPSAFE, and permits IPv4 inpcb locking
assertions to be run in the presence of IPv6 compiled into the kernel.
device drivers to declare that the ifp->if_start() method implemented
by the driver requires Giant in order to operate correctly.
Add a 'struct task' to 'struct ifnet' that can be used to execute a
deferred ifp->if_start() in the event that if_start needs to be called
in a Giant-free environment. To do this, introduce if_start(), a
wrapper function for ifp->if_start(). If the interface can run MPSAFE,
it directly dispatches into the interface start routine. If it can't
run MPSAFE, we're running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, and Giant isn't
currently held, the task is queued to execute in a swi holding Giant
via if_start_deferred().
Modify if_handoff() to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
Modify 802.11 to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
This is intended to provide increased compatibility for non-MPSAFE
network device drivers in the presence of Giant-free operation via
asynchronous dispatch. However, this commit does not mark any network
interfaces as IFF_NEEDSGIANT.

Move the HISTORY section to place it before BUGS rather than after BUGS,

using linker_load_module(). This works OK if NGM_MKPEER message came
from userland and we have process associated with thread. But when
NGM_MKPEER was queued because target node was busy, linker_load_module()
is called from netisr thread leading to panic.
To workaround that we do not load modules by framework, instead ng_socket
loads module (if this is required) before sending NGM_MKPEER.
However, the race condition between return from NgSendMsg() and actual
creation of node still exist and needs to be solved.

an adaptive fashion when adaptive mutexes are enabled. The theory
behind non-adaptive Giant is that Giant will be held for long periods
of time, and therefore spinning waiting on it is wasteful. However,
in MySQL benchmarks which are relatively Giant-free, running Giant
adaptive makes an observable difference on SMP (5% transaction rate
improvement). As such, make adaptive behavior on Giant an option so
it can be more widely benchmarked.

o Replace ia64_fbsd_supply_fpregs() and ia64_fbsd_supply_gregs()
with supply_fpregset() and supply_gregset() resp. Needed to

o For target_read_partial(), pass the address of bspstore as the

annex is a pointer, while bspstore is a ULONGEST.
