It's a bit more pedantic regarding .Bl list elements. This has an added
benefit of unbreaking the ipfw(8) manpage, where groff was silently
skipping one list element.
rounding. The same value can also be obtained with uma_zone_get_max, but this
change avoids a caller having to make two back-to-back calls.

- Add uma_zone_get_cur which returns the current approximate occupancy of
a zone. This is useful for providing stats via sysctl amongst other things.

A new function prep_devname() sanitizes a device name by removing
leading and redundant sequential slashes. The function returns an error
for names which already exist or are considered invalid.
A new flag MAKEDEV_CHECKNAME for make_dev_p(9) and make_dev_credf(9)
indicates that the caller is prepared to handle an error related to the
device name. An invalid name triggers a panic if the flag is not
specified.
Document the MAKEDEV_CHECKNAME flag in the make_dev(9) manual page.

function is not expected to be used often, it produces more information
in the form of an errno that sbuf_overflowed() did.
called when the sbuf internal buffer is filled. For kernel sbufs with a
drain, the internal buffer will never be expanded. For userland sbufs
with a drain, the internal buffer may still be expanded by
sbuf_[v]printf(3).
Sbufs now have three basic uses:
1) static string manipulation. Overflow is marked.
2) dynamic string manipulation. Overflow triggers string growth.
3) drained string manipulation. Overflow triggers draining.
In all cases the manipulation is 'safe' in that overflow is detected and
managed.

- add rm_try_rlock().
- add RM_SLEEPABLE to use sx(9) as the back-end lock in order to sleep while
holding the write lock.
- change rm_noreadtoken to a cpu bitmask to indicate which CPUs need to go
through the lock/unlock in order to synchronize. As a side effect, this
also avoids IPI to CPUs without any readers during rm_wlock.

a guarded allocation at free(9) time to reduce the overhead of using
memguard(9). Allow setting and varying the malloc type at run-time.
Add knobs to allow:
- randomly guarding memory
- adding un-backed KVA guard pages to detect underflow and overflow
- a lower limit on the size of allocations that are guarded

Also make taskqueue_run(9) static to the file, since there are no
consumers in the base kernel and the function signature needs to change
with this fix.

returns the requested unit number if it is free. If the number is
already allocated or out of the range, -1 is returned.
