dereferenced when a process exits due to the vmspace ref-count being
bumped. Change shmexit() and shmexit_myhook() to take a vmspace instead
of a process and call it in vmspace_dofree(). This way if it is missed
in exit1()'s early-resource-free it will still be caught when the zombie is
reaped.
Also fix a potential race in shmexit_myhook() by NULLing out
vmspace->vm_shm prior to calling shm_delete_mapping() and free().

Change struct xfile xf_data to xun_data (ABI is still compatible).
If we need to add a #define for f_data and xf_data we can, but I don't
think it will be necessary. There are no operational changes in this

Previously, VM_ALLOC_ZERO was only honored when the number of free pages
was above the reserved threshold. Honoring it in all cases generally
makes sense, does no harm, and simplifies the code.
to sort out disk-io from file-io in the vm/buffer/filesystem space.
The intent is to sort VOP_STRATEGY calls into those which operate
on "real" vnodes and those which operate on VCHR vnodes. For
the latter kind, the call will be changed to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY,
possibly conditionally for those places where dual-use happens.
Add a default VOP_SPECSTRATEGY method which will call the normal
VOP_STRATEGY. First time it is called it will print debugging
information. This will only happen if a normal vnode is passed
to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY by mistake.
Add a real VOP_SPECSTRATEGY in specfs, which does what VOP_STRATEGY
does on a VCHR vnode today.
Add a new VOP_STRATEGY method in specfs to catch instances where
the conversion to VOP_SPECSTRATEGY has not yet happened. Handle
the request just like we always did, but first time called print

is now synchronized by a mutex, whereas access to user maps is still
synchronized by a lockmgr()-based lock. Why? No single type of lock,
including sx locks, meets the requirements of both types of vm map.
Sometimes we sleep while holding the lock on a user map. Thus, a
a mutex isn't appropriate. On the other hand, both lockmgr()-based
and sx locks release Giant when a thread/process blocks during
contention for a lock. This could lead to a race condition in a legacy
driver (that relies on Giant for synchronization) if it attempts to
kmem_malloc() and fails to immediately obtain the lock. Fortunately,
we never sleep while holding a system map lock.
- Add a mtx_destroy() to vm_object_collapse(). (This allows a bzero()
to migrate from _vm_object_allocate() to vm_object_zinit(), where it
will be performed less often.)
