store some pipe pointers on stack. If user reconfigures dummynet
in the interlock gap, we can work with freed pipes after relock.
To fix this, we decided not to send packets in transmit_event(),
but fill a queue. At the end of dummynet() and dummynet_io(),
after the lock is dropped, if there is something in the queue
we run dummynet_send() to process the queue.

dedicated to storing pv entries, originally so that kva didn't have to be
allocated at inconvenient times. For amd64, we can get the same effect by
using the direct map area. Allocating pages is the same as with the object
backed method, but now we can just lookup the page in the direct map area.
Thus, no more pageable kva is reserved. This is the single largest
consumer of kva on our work machines and this change should help conserve
the fixed size 2GB pageable kva on the amd64 kernel.
There are a pair of sysctl nodes introduced, named the same as their
tunable counterparts. vm.pmap.shpgperproc and vm.pmap.pv_entry_max
They work just like the tunables of the same path, except the values are
linked. The pv entry cap is now dynamically changeable.
I didn't make them totally unlimited because we need some sort of safety
limit still. One could consume all physical memory without a cap.
the system when brelse() was called with B_RELBUF set on the buffer. This
could be a problem when the system was low on memory, had many buffers on
QUEUE_EMPTYKVA and started to traverse directories. For each getnewbuf(),
pages were allocated from the system, driving the free reserve downwards.
For each brelse(), the system put the buffer on QUEUE_CLEAN, with B_INVAL
set.
This commit changes the semantics of B_RELBUF to also free pages from
non-VMIO buffers.

filtering mechanisms to use the new rwlock(9) locking API:
- Drop the variables stored in the phil_head structure which were specific to
conditions and the home rolled read/write locking mechanism.
- Drop some includes which were used for condition variables
- Drop the inline functions, and convert them to macros. Also, move these
macros into pfil.h
- Move pfil list locking macros intp phil.h as well
- Rename ph_busy_count to ph_nhooks. This variable will represent the number
of IN/OUT hooks registered with the pfil head structure
- Define PFIL_HOOKED macro which evaluates to true if there are any
hooks to be ran by pfil_run_hooks
- In the IP/IP6 stacks, change the ph_busy_count comparison to use the new
PFIL_HOOKED macro.
- Drop optimization in pfil_run_hooks which checks to see if there are any
hooks to be ran, and returns if not. This check is already performed by the
IP stacks when they call:
if (!PFIL_HOOKED(ph))
goto skip_hooks;
- Drop in assertion which makes sure that the number of hooks never drops
below 0 for good measure. This in theory should never happen, and if it
does than there are problems somewhere
- Drop special logic around PFIL_WAITOK because rw_wlock(9) does not sleep
- Drop variables which support home rolled read/write locking mechanism from
the IPFW firewall chain structure.
- Swap out the read/write firewall chain lock internal to use the rwlock(9)
API instead of our home rolled version
- Convert the inlined functions to macros
