running" panics.
Previously, recursion through the "include" feature was prevented by
marking each ruleset as "running" when applied. This doesn't work for
the case where two DEVFS instances try to apply the same ruleset at
the same time.
Instead introduce the sysctl vfs.devfs.rule_depth (default == 1) which
limits how many levels of "include" we will traverse.
Be aware that traversal of "include" is recursive and kernel stack
size is limited.

frobbing the cdevsw.
In both cases we examine only the cdevsw and it is a good question if we
weren't better off copying those properties into the cdev in the first
place. This question will be revisited.
ruleset. If we do, that means there's a ruleset loop (10 includes 20
include 30 includes 10), which will quickly cause a double fault due
to stack overflow (since "include" is implemented by recursion).
(Previously, we only checked that X didn't include X.)
administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.
