eb74baf398 Rename the section 'locking considerations' into 'context'.
Change the wording in this section to get rid of references to mutexes
and talk about sleeping instead.

473e34ce22 Explicitely document the locking requirements for the malloc interface.
While beeing here also correct the following:

 - list missing macros in the header
 - document MALLOC_DEFINE and MALLOC_DECLARE in the SYNOPSIS section
 - document additional include requirements for MALLOC_DEFINE
 - M_NOWAIT is not 0 anymore
 - remove rotted diagnostic messages

79525d59b2 Document lock order reversals possible when calling allocation functions
with vnode interlocks held.

Emphasize that users need to be careful with malloc flags versus mbuf
flags.

Remove stale portion in vnode.9 about v_tag.  We don't have it anylonger.

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

1921a06d6a Introduce the M_ZERO flag to malloc(9)
Instead of:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
        bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));

You can now (and please do) use:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);

In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
malloc-space.

1111b49c35 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

5bf6ab8369 Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
