Rewrite lockrange and unlockrange. The lock table is now a fixed
size, so there is no possibility for race conditions when expanding.
The current size (256 locked ranges) should be large enough that it
makes no sense to expand it. To do expansion right would require
quiescing the plex (requiring at least 256 I/O completions), and the
performance implications are horrendous.
Add a mutex per plex for accessing the lock table.
Based on analysis by: tegge
lockrange: correctly expand rangelock struct, including expanding a
null struct. Previously lockrange would attempt to lock a
NULL pointer under these circumstances.

kernel as a pseudo-device. The changes were:
- #ifdef DEBUG -> #ifdef VINUMDEBUG
- opt_vinum.h for holding above config variable
- Fixing up a few stray problems where DEBUG wasn't optional.
- config.c -> vinumconfig.c (there's already a config.o)
- Other *.c -> vinum*.c (wasn't strictly necessary, but done in case we end
up with something else conflicting later on and we might have to have yet
more repository copies of files).
- include file paths fixups.. (ie: get them all from the kernel tree
instead of partly from the kernel and partly from /usr/include/machine)
I've spoken with Greg about this.. I hope this doesn't mess him around
too much..
