Also introduce a bunch of (missed?) macros and functions.
This man page still needs a lot of work, most likely a re-ordering
of the macros/functions, and a more complete, more accurate, listing of
available routines.
A good and worthy start nonetheless.
<sys/proc.h> to <sys/systm.h>.
Correctly document the #includes needed in the manpage.
Add one now needed #include of <sys/systm.h>.
Remove the consequent 48 unused #includes of <sys/proc.h>.
Instead of:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));
You can now (and please do) use:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);
In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
malloc-space.
sync with the implementation. Vnode locks *are* required for these
operations, as some underlying implementations will require them.

include:
* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

mostly unrelated to the attributed PR, and the attributed submitter
wasn't so much suggesting the patch for inclusion as providing it

2. "brackets" -> "angle brackets" when referring to < and >.
3. Clean up the bit about creating the usage() message. After clarifying a
couple of points the sentence became rather long, and rather poor English, so
it was converted to a enumerated list instead.

and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.
Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.
Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.
This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.
