Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.
Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%. For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.
I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

instead of #pragma weak to create weak definitions. This macro is
improperly named, though, since a weak definition is not the same
thing as a weak reference.

- new EV_SET macro,
- NOTE_LOWAT option for low water marks on read/write filters,
- NOTE_REVOKE for filesystem unmounting (and revoke() calls)
- improved API for EVFILT_AIO
to be the same as -ragged in the current implementation) to
-ragged. With mdocNG, -filled displays produce the correct
output, formatted and justified to both margins.
and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:
__sys_foo - actual syscall
foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo
Change PSEUDO syscalls (currently only _exit and _getlogin) to
be __sys_foo (T) and _foo (W).
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to satisfy commitprep.

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

interface was based on a draft version of POSIX whereas the final
(1996) version of POSIX specified that the error is returned.
While I'm here, fix getlogin_r so that it works for more than just
the first time it's called.
