tsleep(). Namely, mawait() takes an extra argument which is a mutex
to drop when going to sleep. Just as with msleep(), if the priority
argument includes the PDROP flag, then the mutex will be dropped and will
not be reacquired when the process wakes up.
- Add in a backwards compatible macro await() that passes in NULL as the
mutex argument to mawait().

- Move several KTR-related options to opt_ktr.h now that they are only
needed by kern_ktr.c and not by ktr.h.
- Add in the ktr_verbose functionality if KTR_EXTEND is turned on. If the
global variable 'ktr_verbose' is non-zero, then KTR messages will be
dumped to the console. This variable can be set by either kernel code
or via the 'debug.ktr_verbose' sysctl. It defaults to off unless the
KTR_VERBOSE kernel option is specified in which case it defaults to on.
This can be useful when the machine locks up spinning in a loop with

This allows writing to DVD-RAM, PD and similar drives that probe as CD
devices. Note that these are randomly writeable devices, not
sequential-only devices like CD-R drives, which are supported by cdrecord.
Add a new flag value for dsopen(), DSO_COMPATLABEL. The cd(4) driver now
uses this flag instead of the DSO_NOLABELS flag. The DSO_NOLABELS always
used a "fake" disklabel for the entire disk, provided by the caller.
With the DSO_COMPATLABEL flag, dsopen() will first search the media for a
label, and if it finds a label, it will use that label. Otherwise it will
use the fake disklabel provided by the caller. This provides backwards
compatibility, since we will still have labels for ISO9660 media.
It also provides new functionality, since you can now have a regular BSD
disklabel on read-only media, or on writeable media (e.g. DVD-RAM).
Bruce and I both think that we should eventually (in a few years) get
away from using disklabels for ISO9660 media, and just use the whole disk
device (/dev/cd0). At that point disklabel handling in the cd(4) driver
could follow the "normal" model, as used in the da(4) driver.
Also, clean up the path in a couple of places in cdregister(). (Thanks to
Nick Hibma for catching that bug.)

- Add two new options WITNESS_DDB and WITNESS_SKIPSPIN. If WITNESS_SKIPSPIN
is enabled, then spin mutexes are ignored by the WITNESS code. If
WITNESS_DDB is turned on and DDB is compiled into the kernel, then the
kernel will drop into DDB when either a lock hierarchy violation occurs
or mutexes are held when going to sleep.
- Add some new sysctls:
debug.witness_ddb is a read-write sysctl that corresponds to WITNESS_DDB.
The kernel option merely changes the default value to on at boot.
debug.witness_skipspin is a read-only sysctl that one can use to determine
if the kernel was compiled with WITNESS_SKIPSPIN.
- Wipe out the BSD/OS-specific lock order lists. We get to build our own
lists now as we add mutexes to the kernel.
type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.
