kept dirty to reduce the number of on-disk metadata updates. The
sequence of operations is:
1) acquire the activemap lock;
2) update in-memory map;
3) if the list of keepdirty extents is changed, update on-disk metadata;
4) release the lock.
On-disk updates are not frequent in comparison with in-memory updates,
while require much more time. So situations are possible when one
thread is updating on-disk metadata and another one is waiting for the
activemap lock just to update the in-memory map.
Improve this by introducing additional, on-disk map lock: when
in-memory map is updated and it is detected that the on-disk map needs
update too, the on-disk map lock is acquired and the on-memory lock is
released before flushing the map.

waiting on an empty queue as the queue may have several consumers.
Before the fix the following scenario was possible: 2 threads are
waiting on empty queue, 2 threads are inserting simultaneously. The
first inserting thread detects that the queue is empty and is going to
send the signal, but before it sends the second thread inserts
too. When the first sends the signal only one of the waiting threads
receive it while the other one may wait forever.
The scenario above is is believed to be the cause of the observed
cases, when ggate_recv_thread() was getting stuck on taking free
request, while the free queue was not empty.

- Add a new protect(1) command that can be used to set or revoke protection
from arbitrary processes. Similar to ktrace it can apply a change to all
existing descendants of a process as well as future descendants.
- Add a new procctl(2) system call that provides a generic interface for
control operations on processes (as opposed to the debugger-specific
operations provided by ptrace(2)). procctl(2) uses a combination of
idtype_t and an id to identify the set of processes on which to operate
similar to wait6().
- Add a PROC_SPROTECT control operation to manage the protection status
of a set of processes. MADV_PROTECT still works for backwards
compatability.
- Add a p_flag2 to struct proc (and a corresponding ki_flag2 to kinfo_proc)
the first bit of which is used to track if P_PROTECT should be inherited
by new child processes.

_installcheck_kernel so the destination targets can be more explicit
on which they are needed for.
installcheck will call both, while installworld only calls
_installcheck_world and installkernel only calls _installcheck_kernel
While here, mark the internal targets as starting with _.

The freebsd32 compatibility mode (for running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit
kernels) does not currently allow any system calls in capability mode, but
still permits cap_enter(). As a result, 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels
that use capability mode do not work (they crash after being disallowed to
call sys_exit()). Affected binaries include dhclient and uniq. The latter's
crashes cause obscure build failures.
This commit makes freebsd32 cap_enter() fail with [ENOSYS], as if capability
mode was not compiled in. Applications deal with this by doing their work
without capability mode.
This commit does not fix the uncommon situation where a 64-bit process
enters capability mode and then executes a 32-bit binary using fexecve().
This commit should be reverted when allowing the necessary freebsd32 system
calls in capability mode.

exception of POWER3-based systems when run in 64-bit mode. The main
development target, however, has been the PAPR logical partition support
that is the default target in KVM on POWER and QEMU -- mileage may vary
on actual hardware at present. Much of the heavy lifting here was done
