modules (ie. procfs.ko).
When the kernel loads dynamic filesystem module, it looks for any of the
VOP operations specified by the new filesystem that have not been registered
already by the currently known filesystems. If any of such operations exist,
vfs_add_vnops function calls vfs_opv_recalc function, which rebuilds vop_t
vectors for each filesystem and sets all global pointers like ufs_vnops_p,
devfs_specop_p, etc to the new values and then frees the old pointers. This
behavior is bad because there might be already active vnodes whose v_op fields
will be left pointing to the random garbage, leading to inevitable crash soon.

The conclusion is that this method really can tell the perfect from the
less than perfect ACPI counters.
It is in fact probably a bit more discriminative than that, but we
will rather condemn some otherwise perfect counters to the slightly
slower "-safe" version, than certify a counter as perfect which
will let us down later.
Many thanks to all the people who sent email reports!

- change the IOMMU support code so that it supports overcommittting the
available DVMA memory, while still allocating as lazily as possible.
This is achieved by limiting the preallocation, and deferring the
allocation to map load time when it fails. In the latter case, the
DVMA memory reserved for unloaded maps can be stolen to free up enough
memory for loading a map.
- allow NULL settings in the method tables, and search the parent tags

Kluge the interrupt routing methods of the psycho and apb drivers so
that an intline of 0 can be handled for now; real routing is still not
possible (all intline registers are preinitialized instead); this will

bridges with a custom routing method to work right.

- remove some useless code from the status change handler that was intended

during interface initialization, and the deleted code made some
assumptions about phy addresses that do not seem to hold true on newer

As far as I tested, this works efficiently for most of the
SBP-II/Firewire devices but most of the umass devices still need
ad-hoc work around because umass-sim doesn't return any SCSI errors.
A sysctl nob is also added for the last resort.
I hope we don't need DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE quirks anymore.

a KASSERT that td != NULL. Callers to sysctl must always specify the
