doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb.
This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)

Try to make failure to malloc(9) memory a non-hang situation.
Eventually this will allow us to test the 64bit cleanness of the disk

the bio and buffer structures to have daddr64_t bio_pblkno,
b_blkno, and b_lblkno fields which allows access to disks
larger than a Terabyte in size. This change also requires
that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t
blocks. This delta should not affect system operation in
any way. It merely sets up the necessary interfaces to allow
the development of disk drivers that work with these larger
disk block addresses. It also allows for the development of
UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.
in wdrain during a write. This flag needs to be used in devices whos
strategy routines turn-around and issue another high level I/O, such as
when MD turns around and issues a VOP_WRITE to vnode backing store, in order
to avoid deadlocking the dirty buffer draining code.
Remove a vprintf() warning from MD when the backing vnode is found to be
in-use. The syncer of buf_daemon could be flushing the backing vnode at
the time of an MD operation so the warning is not correct.

- crhold() returns a reference to the ucred whose refcount it bumps.
- crcopy() now simply copies the credentials from one credential to
another and has no return value.
- a new crshared() primitive is added which returns true if a ucred's
refcount is > 1 and false (0) otherwise.

bypass some extra anti-foot-shooting measures. Currently, its only
effect is to allow detaching a device while it's still open (e.g.,
mounted). This is useful for testing how the system reacts to a disk
suddenly going away, which can happen with some removeable media.
At this point, the force option is only checked on detach, so it
would've been possible to allow the option to be passed with the
MDIOCDETACH operation. This was not done to allow the possibility of
having the force flag influence other tests in the future, which may
not necessarily deal with detaching the device.

formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal

operate without Giant.
