devfs VOP symlink creation by introducing a new entry point to determine
the label of the devfs_dirent prior to allocation of a vnode for the
symlink.

v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

kernel access control.
Teach devfs how to respond to pathconf() _POSIX_MAC_PRESENT queries,
allowing it to indicate to user processes that individual vnode labels
are available.

kernel access control.
Instrument devfs to support per-dirent MAC labels. In particular,
invoke MAC framework when devfs directory entries are instantiated
due to make_dev() and related calls, and invoke the MAC framework
when vnodes are instantiated from these directory entries. Implement
vop_setlabel() for devfs, which pushes the label update into the
devfs directory entry for semi-persistant store. This permits the MAC
framework to assign labels to devices and directories as they are
instantiated, and export access control information via devfs vnodes.

administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.

make sure it's a correct operation for devfs, do it only in the
ISLASTCN case. If we don't, we are assuming that the final file will
be in devfs, which is not true if another partition is mounted on top
of devfs or with special filenames (like /dev/net/../../foo).

Setting of timestamps on devices had no effect visible to userland
because timestamps for devices were set in places that are never used.
This broke:
- update of file change time after a change of an attribute
- setting of file access and modification times.
The VA_UTIMES_NULL case did not work. Revs 1.31-1.32 were supposed to
fix this by copying correct bits from ufs, but had little or no effect
because the old checks were not removed.
general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

It's now possible to open /dev/tun and get a handle back for an available
tun device (use devname to find out what you got).
The implementation uses rman by popular demand (and against my judgement)
to track opened devices and uses the new dev_depends() to ensure that
all make_dev()d devices go away before the module is unloaded.

Implement first cut try at killing cloned devices when they are

this experiment. Cloned devices can set the SI_CHEAPCLONE flag
which allows us to destroy_dev() it when the vcount() drops to zero
and the vnode is reclaimed. For now it's a requirement that the
driver doesn't keep persistent state from close to (re)open.
