best path forward now is likely to change the lockmgr locks to simple
sleep mutexes, then see if any extra contention it generates is greater
than removed overhead of managing local locking state information,
cost of extra calls into lockmgr, etc.
Additionally, making the vm_map lock a mutex and respecting it properly
will put us much closer to not needing Giant magic in vm.
chpass(8). The relations between libc, libpam, chpass, passwd, and
vipw are a mess and probably should be cleaned up.

all the global bits of ``module'' data. This commit adds a few generic
macros, MOD_SLOCK, MOD_XLOCK, etc., that are meant to be used as ways
of accessing the SX lock. It is also the first step in helping to lock
down the kernel linker and module systems.

Use this where we are now using /etc/make.conf.
This allows people to override the current default of always including
/etc/make.conf. Setting __MAKE_CONF to /dev/null disables it
completely, while setting it to something else allows one to override
what is on the system. This can be desirable in situations where a
machine has many users and some of them want different defaults, or
defaults appropriate to cross building to be different than those for
normal building.

o Use ansi function definitions
o MAXPATHLEN already has the NUL at the end, so no need to add 1 (note that
MAXNAMLEN doesn't, so the + 1 there is correct).
o remove register.
as it leaves the nullfs vnode allocated, but with no identity. The
effect is that a null mount can slowly accumulate all the vnodes
in the system, reclaiming them only when it is unmounted. Thus
the null_inactive state instead accelerates the release of the
null vnode by calling vrecycle which will in turn call the
null_reclaim operator. The null_reclaim routine then does the
freeing actions previosuly (incorrectly) done in null_inactive.
Old code obfuscates long (but single-line) messages by printing them in
pieces using %s. Rev.1.41 obfuscated some new long messages using ISO
string concatenation. This commit only fixes the new obfuscations.
