mount(2) system call:
* Add cmount hook to fdescfs and pseudofs (and, by extension, procfs and
linprocfs). This (mostly) restores the ability to mount these
filesystems using the old mount(2) system call (see below for the
rest of the fix).
* Remove not-NULL check for the data argument from the mount(2) entry
point. Per the mount(2) man page, it is up to the individual
filesystem being mounted to verify data. Or, in the case of procfs,
etc. the filesystem is free to ignore the data parameter if it does
not use it. Enforcing data to be not-NULL in the mount(2) system call
entry point prevented passing NULL to filesystems which ignored the
data pointer value. Apparently, passing NULL was common practice
in such cases, as even our own mount_std(8) used to do it in the
pre-nmount(2) world.
All userland programs in the tree were converted to nmount(2) long ago,
but I've found at least one external program which broke due to this
(presumably unintentional) mount(2) API change. One could argue that
external programs should also be converted to nmount(2), but then there
isn't much point in keeping the mount(2) interface for backward
compatibility if it isn't backward compatible.
these filesystems will support shared locks until they are explicitly
modified to do so. Careful review must be done to ensure that this
is safe for each individual filesystem.

A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".
This is to allow filesystems to decide based on the passed thread
which vnode to return.
Several filesystems used curthread, they now use the passed thread.
v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

- Remove hardcoded uid, gid, mode from struct pfs_node; make pfs_getattr()
smart enough to get it right most of the time, and allow for callbacks
to handle the remaining cases. Rework the definition macros to match.
- Add lots of (conditional) debugging output.
- Fix a long-standing bug inherited from procfs: don't pretend to be a
read-only file system. Instead, return EOPNOTSUPP for operations we
truly can't support and allow others to fail silently. In particular,
pfs_lookup() now treats CREATE as LOOKUP. This may need more work.
- In pfs_lookup(), if the parent node is process-dependent, check that
the process in question still exists.
- Implement pfs_open() - its only current function is to check that the
process opening the file can see the process it belongs to.
- Finish adding support for writeable nodes.
- Bump module version number.
- Introduce lots of new bugs.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

It's not finished yet (I still have to find a way to implement process-
dependent nodes without consuming too much memory, and the permission
system needs tightening up), but it's becoming hard to work on without
a repo (I've accidentally almost nuked it once already), and it works
(except for the lack of process-dependent nodes, that is).
I was supposed to commit this a week ago, but timed out waiting for jkh
to reply to some questions I had. Pass him a spoonful of bad karma :)
