A new syscall sigfastblock(2) is added which registers a uint32_t
variable as containing the count of blocks for signal delivery. Its
content is read by kernel on each syscall entry and on AST processing,
non-zero count of blocks is interpreted same as the signal mask
blocking all signals.
The biggest downside of the feature that I see is that memory
corruption that affects the registered fast sigblock location, would
cause quite strange application misbehavior. For instance, the process
would be immune to ^C (but killable by SIGKILL).
With consumers (rtld and libthr added), benchmarks do not show a
slow-down of the syscalls in micro-measurements, and macro benchmarks
like buildworld do not demonstrate a difference. Part of the reason is
that buildworld time is dominated by compiler, and clang already links
to libthr. On the other hand, small utilities typically used by shell
scripts have the total number of syscalls cut by half.
The syscall is not exported from the stable libc version namespace on
purpose. It is intended to be used only by our C runtime
implementation internals.

The version that ended upstream was ultimately slightly different than the
version committed here; notably, statvfs() is used but it's redefined
appropriately to statfs() on FreeBSD since we don't provide the fstypename
for the former interface.
This patch introduces processing of the frames
up to 9kB by the mvneta driver. Some versions of
this NIC limit TX checksum offloading, depending
on the frame size, so add appropriate handling
of this feature.

The revokex test does not work when the scratch directory is created on NFS.
Given the nature of NFS, it likely can never work without looking like a
security hole since O_SEARCH would rely on the server knowing that the
directory did have +x at the time of open and that it's OK for it to have
been revoked based on POSIX specification for O_SEARCH.
This does mean that O_SEARCH is only partially functional on NFS in general,
but I suspect the execute bit getting revoked in the process is likely not
common.

Currently the installer will tag geliboot partitions with both BOOT and
GELIBOOT; the former allows the kernel to taste it at boot, while the latter
is what loaders keys off of.
However, it seems reasonable to assume that if a provider's been tagged with
GELIBOOT that the kernel should also take that as a hint to taste/attach at
boot. This would allow us to stop tagging GELIBOOT partitions with BOOT in
bsdinstall, but I'm not sure that there's a compelling reason to do so any
time soon.

Since AVL already has embedded element counter, use dn_dbufs_count
only for dbufs not counted there (bonus buffers) and just add them.
This removes two atomics per dbuf life cycle.
According to profiler it reduces time spent by dbuf_destroy() inside
bottlenecked dbuf_evict_thread() from 13.36% to 9.20% of the core.
This counter is used only on illumos, so for FreeBSD it was just a
waste of time.

riscv cores.
GFE cores come with standard DTS file that lacks standard 'dmas ='
property, which means xae(4) could not find a DMA controller to use.
The 'dmas' property could not be added to the DTS file because the
ethernet controller and DMA engine parts in Linux are implemented
in a single driver.
Instead of 'dmas' property the standard Xilinx 'axistream-connected'
property is provided, so fallback to use it instead.

Previous code used 4 atomics to do aggsum_flush_bucket() and 2 more to
re-borrow after the flush. But since asc_borrowed and asc_delta are
accessed only while holding asc_lock, it makes no any sense to modify
as_lower_bound and as_upper_bound in multiple steps. Instead of that
the new code uses only 2 atomics in all the cases, one per as_*_bound
variable. I think even that is overkill, simple atomic store and
load could be used here, since all modifications are done under the
as_lock, but there are no such primitives in ZFS code now.
While there, make borrow code consider previous borrow value, so that
on mixed request patterns reduce chance of needing to borrow again if
much larger request follows tiny one that needed borrow.
Also reduce as_numbuckets from uint64_t to u_int. It makes no sense
to use so large division operation on every aggsum_add().
