- Add an integer argument to idle to indicate how likely we are to wake
from idle over the next tick.
- Add a new MD routine, cpu_wake_idle() to wakeup idle threads who are
suspended in cpu specific states. This function can fail and cause the
scheduler to fall back to another mechanism (ipi).
- Implement support for mwait in cpu_idle() on i386/amd64 machines that
support it. mwait is a higher performance way to synchronize cpus
as compared to hlt & ipis.
- Allow selecting the idle routine by name via sysctl machdep.idle. This
replaces machdep.cpu_idle_hlt. Only idle routines supported by the
current machine are permitted.
Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".
Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.
We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).
ta_func may free the task structure, so no references to its members
are valid after the handler has been called. Using a per-queue member
and having waits longer than strictly necessary was suggested by jhb.

file via NFS. Specifically, to satisfy close-to-open-consistency, the NFS
client always performs at least one RPC on a file during an open(2) to see
if the file has changed. Normally this RPC is an ACCESS or GETATTR RPC
that is forced by flushing a file's attribute cache during nfs_open() and
then requesting new attributes. However, if the file is noticed to be
stale during nfs_open(), the only recourse is to fail the open(2) call
with ESTALE. On the other hand, if the ACCESS or GETATTR RPC is sent
during nfs_lookup(), then the NFS client can fall back to a LOOKUP RPC to
obtain the new file handle in the case that a file has been replaced.
This change causes the NFS client to flush the attribute cache during
nfs_lookup() when validating a name cache hit if the attributes fetched
during nfs_lookup() can be reused in nfs_open(). This allows the client
to open a replaced file via the new file handle the first time that it
notices a replaced file rather than failing with ESTALE in some cases.

Add object locking to vnode_pager_generic_putpages(). This was the one

object being locked.
Eliminate an unnecessary vm_page_lock() around vnode_pager_setsize()'s call
to vm_page_clear_dirty().
Change vnode_pager_generic_putpages() to the modern-style of function
definition. Also, change the name of one of the parameters to follow
virtual memory system naming conventions.
