83c83f3e46 - Document the fact that the real length of listen queue is 1.5 more 
than the value of backlog argument.
- Document the fact that a subsequent listen(2) calls on the listening
  socket change the backlog argument.
- Note that current listen queue lengths can be queried using netstat(1).

bcd9e0dd20 - Add two new system calls: preadv() and pwritev() which are like readv() 
and writev() except that they take an additional offset argument and do
  not change the current file position.  In SAT speak:
  preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write.
- Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old
  kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions
  that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov().  The non-v functions
  now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments
  and then call kern_foov().  For example, read() now just builds a uio and
  calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().

bbe7bbdfee Eliminate the original method of requesting notification of aio_read(2) and 
aio_write(2) completion through kevent(2).  This method does not work on
64-bit architectures.  It was deprecated in FreeBSD 4.4.  See revisions
1.87 and 1.70.2.7.

Change aio_physwakeup() to call psignal(9) directly rather than indirectly
through a timeout(9).  Discussed with: bde

Correct a bug introduced in revision 1.65 that could result in premature
delivery of a signal if an lio_listio(2) consisted of a mixture of
direct/raw and queued I/O operations.  Observed by: tegge

Eliminate a field from struct kaioinfo that is now unused.
