can offer new services without reserving system call numbers, or
augmented versions of existing services. User code requests a
target policy by name, and specifies the policy-specific API plus
target. This is required in particular for our port of SELinux/FLASK
to the MAC framework since it offers additional security services.

mac_check_pipe_poll(), mac_check_pipe_read(), mac_check_pipe_stat(),
and mac_check_pipe_write(). This is improves consistency with other
access control entry points and permits security modules to only
control the object methods that they are interested in, avoiding
switch statements.

mac_check_vnode_poll(), mac_check_vnode_read(), mac_check_vnode_write().
This improves the consistency with other existing vnode checks, and
allows policies to avoid implementing switch statements to determine
what operations they do and do not want to authorize.

can avoid the cost of a large number of atomic operations if we're not
interested in the object count statistics.

we can use the names _receive() and _send() for the receive() and send()
checks. Rename related constants, policy implementations, etc.

enabled and the kernel provides the MAC registration and entry point
service. Declare a dependency on that module service for any
MAC module registered using mac_policy.h. For now, hard code the
version as 1, but once we've come up with a versioning policy, we'll
move to a #define of some sort. In the mean time, this will prevent
loading a MAC module when 'options MAC' isn't present, which (due to
a bug in the kernel linker) can result if the MAC module is preloaded
via loader.conf.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

kernel access control. The MAC framework permits loadable kernel
modules to link to the kernel at compile-time, boot-time, or run-time,
and augment the system security policy. This commit includes the
initial kernel implementation, although the interface with the userland
components of the oeprating system is still under work, and not all
kernel subsystems are supported. Later in this commit sequence,
documentation of which kernel subsystems will not work correctly with
a kernel compiled with MAC support will be added.
kern_mac.c contains the body of the MAC framework. Kernel and
user APIs defined in mac.h are implemented here, providing a front end
to loaded security modules. This code implements a module registration
service, state (label) management, security configuration and policy
composition.
