o initialize ivars with bzero.
o remove interrupt function pointer. netbsd needs it, but we don't.
o add lots of comments about bogus things that I've been kludging to try
to make the simple cases work.
o add new ivar accessor for cis4 to match cis3. likely neither will be
needed, but it doesn't hurt to have it.
The old version lists all args as optional.
However, you need at least one arg to get a usable result.

number of ext_buf counters that are possibly allocatable.
Do this because:
(i) It will make it easier to influence EXT_COUNTERS for if_sk,
if_ti (or similar) users where the driver allocates its own
ext_bufs and where it is important for the mbuf system to take
it into account when reserving necessary space for counters.
(ii) Facilitate some percentile calculation for netstat(1)
as inline functions, renaming them to __uint16_swap_uint32,
__uint8_swap_uint32 and __uint8_swap_uint16.

now in dirs called sys/*/random/ instead of sys/*/randomdev/*.
Introduce blocking, but only at startup; the random device will
block until the first reseed happens to prevent clients from
using untrustworthy output.
Provide a read_random() call for the rest of the kernel so that
the entropy device does not need to be present. This means that
things like IPX no longer need to have "device random" hardcoded
into thir kernel config. The downside is that read_random() will
provide very poor output until the entropy device is loaded and
reseeded. It is recommended that developers do NOT use the
read_random() call; instead, they should use arc4random() which
internally uses read_random().
Clean up the mutex and locking code a bit; this makes it possible
to unload the module again.
Add references to the newly added hardware debug register
support functions i386_clr_watch(3) and i386_set_watch(3).

How it works:
--
Basically ifs is a copy of ffs, overriding some vfs/vnops. (Yes, hack.)
I didn't see the need in duplicating all of sys/ufs/ffs to get this
off the ground.
File creation is done through a special file - 'newfile' . When newfile
is called, the system allocates and returns an inode. Note that newfile
is done in a cloning fashion:
fd = open("newfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
fstat(fd, &st);
printf("new file is %d\n", (int)st.st_ino);
Once you have created a file, you can open() and unlink() it by its returned
inode number retrieved from the stat call, ie:
fd = open("5", O_RDWR);
The creation permissions depend entirely if you have write access to the
root directory of the filesystem.
To get the list of currently allocated inodes, VOP_READDIR has been added
which returns a directory listing of those currently allocated.

What this entails:
* patching conf/files and conf/options to include IFS as a new compile
option (and since ifs depends upon FFS, include the FFS routines)
* An entry in i386/conf/NOTES indicating IFS exists and where to go for
an explanation
* Unstaticize a couple of routines in src/sys/ufs/ffs/ which the IFS
routines require (ffs_mount() and ffs_reload())
* a new bunch of routines in src/sys/ufs/ifs/ which implement the IFS
routines. IFS replaces some of the vfsops, and a handful of vnops -
most notably are VFS_VGET(), VOP_LOOKUP(), VOP_UNLINK() and VOP_READDIR().
Any other directory operation is marked as invalid.
What this results in:
* an IFS partition's create permissions are controlled by the perm/ownership of
the root mount point, just like a normal directory
* Each inode has perm and ownership too
* IFS does *NOT* mean an FFS partition can be opened per inode. This is a
completely seperate filesystem here
* Softupdates doesn't work with IFS, and really I don't think it needs it.
Besides, fsck's are FAST. (Try it :-)
* Inodes 0 and 1 aren't allocatable because they are special (dump/swap IIRC).
Inode 2 isn't allocatable since UFS/FFS locks all inodes in the system against
this particular inode, and unravelling THAT code isn't trivial. Therefore,
useful inodes start at 3.
Enjoy, and feedback is definitely appreciated!
mount_ifs: repocopy of sbin/mount, with most of the intelligence ripped out
and "ufs" replaced with "ifs" in the right places. It will only
mount a single filesystem, rather than the -t <type> magic that
our real mount does.
fsck_ifs: repocopy of sbin/fsck_ffs, but the directory structure stuff
(pass2 and some refcount checks) has been #ifdef'ed out.
src/sbin/Makefile: Build these two utilities
There is probably cruft code left in both which can be removed at a later
date, especially in mount_ifs, but I trust that people will not try
mount_ifs -a ..
Note: there are no man pages installed for these two commands as I haven't
actually written them yet.
