filesystem softdep_process_worklist() is called in a loop until it indicates
that no dependancies remain, but the determination of that fact depends on
there only being one softdep_process_worklist() instance running. It was
possible for the syncer to also be running softdep_process_worklist()
and the pre-existing checks in the code to prevent this were not sufficient
to prevent the race. This patch solves the problem.

- Add a note about the special locking semantics used for members such as
p_cred that are read by multiple processes but only written to by the
current process.
- Change p_upages_obj's locking key to note that it is created at fork
and left alone afterwards (the actual pointer, not what it points to.)
- Mark p_intr_nesting_level as being implicitly locked since only curproc
accesses it.

valid) if BPF is missing.
The netgraph_bpf node forced bpf to be present, reflect that in the
options.
Stop doing a 'count bpf' - we provide stubs.
Since a handful of drivers still refer to "bpf.h", provide a more accurate
indication that the API is present always. (eg: netinet6)
With this flag set malloc() will panic if memory allocation failed.
This usable only in critical places where failed allocation is fatal.

would *want* to is a different story, but it used to be able to be done
statically. Get rid of #include "loop.h" and struct ifnet loif[NLOOP];
This could be used as an example of how to do this in other drivers,
for example: ccd.
fsyncs, which typically occur during unmounting, will drain all dirty
buffers even if it takes multiple passes to do so. The guarentee was
mangled by the last patch which solved a problem due to -current disabling
interrupts while holding giant (which caused an infinite spin loop waiting for
I/O to complete). -stable does not have either patch, but has a similar
bug in the original spec_fsync() code which is triggered by a bug in the
softupdates umount code, a fix for which will be committed to -current
as soon as Kirk stamps it. Then both solutions will be MFC'd to -stable.
-stable currently suffers from a combination of the softupdates bug and
a small window of opportunity in the original spec_fsync() code, and -stable
also suffers from the spin-loop bug but since interrupts are enabled the
spin resolves itself in a few milliseconds.

My guess is that reducing the number of tags is just masking the real
problem for the PR submitter. I'll re-open the PR and see if I can work
with the submitter to diagnose the problem.

machines (duh!). This was one reason why this script broke on
i386. The other being that on i386 sections did not have the
proper alignment. This has been fixed in sys/sys/linker_set.h.
declarations will not be aligned by default.
o Remove the alignment work-around for alpha. Our current alpha
as(1) does not assume alignment after section switching, nor
does the ia64 as(1).
- When used on a 33MHz PCI BUS, the 53C1010-66 revision 0
requires extra clocks to be inserted in data out phase.
Revision 1 is fixed.
- The 53C1010-33 revision 1 requires internal cycles to be
disabled due to possible contentions on IO registers.
Revision 2 is fixed.
Fix:
- The probing of HVD from GPIO3 bit by the driver was reversed.
The driver could misprobe the bus mode of a 825 or 875 chip
that was not previously initialized (no BIOS for example).
The new method is 'flood' (in addition to the old round-robin)
in which incoming packets are sent to more than one outgoing hook.
(I'm not sure what Rogier is using this for but it seems generally useful
and isn't much extra)
