The separate script is needed because in the presence of various

shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds).
We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in
/etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be
configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be
configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 120 seconds.
Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999
(as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and
hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from
init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to
control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the
sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which
isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via
/etc/rc.conf), etc.
As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which
directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under
sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document
it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8).
Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5).

- Replace 'process' with 'thread' everywhere.
- Update several places to note that that the fact that default mutexes
may adaptively spin isn't necessarily MD, but is just part of the
implementation as a whole.
- Clarify the text about MTX_SPIN mutexes only being appropriate for
INTR_FAST interrupts or other low level scheduler code to make the
jargon more FreeBSD-ish rather than BSD/OS-ish.
- Also, note that it is possible that interrupts aren't blocked but just
deferred when a spin lock is held (the whole blocked vs. deferred bit is
an MD implementation detail).
- Remove statements saying that spin locks must be released in the exact
opposite order that they were acquired. This stopped being true several
years ago when we first added critical sections that stored their state
in the current thread rather than in struct mtx.
- Note that a mutex must be initialized before it is passed to any other
mutex function, not just mtx_lock.
- Clarify that mtx_trylock() only operates on MTX_DEF mutexes.
- Simplify the text about possible preemption during a mtx_unlock().
- Use complete English sentences in place of phrases in a few places.
- Clarify that it isn't ever safe to sleep with a mutex held. The kernel
tends to panic when you do that.

of the form "REFUSE foo" in portsnap.conf will result in parts of the
tree matching "^foo" being (a) not extracted by "portsnap extract", (b)
not updated by "portsnap update", and (c) not having any patches or new

As mentioned in portsnap.conf.5, the use of an imcomplete ports tree is
not officially supported; but this is something which many users have
requested, so I'm adding it anyway.
