most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

the wrong VOP descriptor. This misuse caused VFS-cached vnodes to be
re-cached, resulting in the leak. This commit is an interim fix until DES
has a chance to rework the code involved.
- Add a third callback to the pfs_node structure. This one simply returns
non-zero if the specified requesting process is allowed to access the
specified node for the specified target process. This is used in
addition to the usual permission checks, e.g. when certain files don't
make sense for certain (system) processes.
- Make sure that pfs_lookup() and pfs_readdir() don't yap about files
which aren't pfs_visible(). Also check pfs_visible() before performing
reads and writes, to prevent the kind of races reported in SA-00:77 and
SA-01:55 (fork a child, open /proc/child/ctl, have that child fork a
setuid binary, and assume control of it).
- Add some more trace points.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

X-MFC after: ha ha ha ha
It's not finished yet (I still have to find a way to implement process-
dependent nodes without consuming too much memory, and the permission
system needs tightening up), but it's becoming hard to work on without
a repo (I've accidentally almost nuked it once already), and it works
(except for the lack of process-dependent nodes, that is).
I was supposed to commit this a week ago, but timed out waiting for jkh
to reply to some questions I had. Pass him a spoonful of bad karma :)
