Attilio Rao f7829d0d5c Introduce the new kernel thread called "deadlock resolver".
While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is
reported in this 17 months old presentation e-mail:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-August/008452.html

In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq

rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.
