- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

missed the pmap_kenter/kremove in this file, which leads to read()/write()
of /dev/mem using stale TLB entries. (gah!) Fortunately, mmap of /dev/mem
wasn't affected, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. This throws
some light on the 'X server affects stability' thread....

cards. Since the firmware is hard coded into the kernel, I've made it
a kernel option (WI_SYMBOL_FIRMWARE).
Note: This only downloads into the RAM of these cards. It doesn't
download into FLASH, and is somewhat limited. There needs to be a
better way to deal, but this works for now. My Symbol LA4132 CF card
works now.

linker_load_module() instead.
This fixes a bug where the kernel was unable to properly locate and
load a kernel module in vfs_mount() (and probably in the netgraph
code as well since it was using the same function). This is because
the linker_load_file() does not properly search the module path.

embedded into their file_entry descriptor. This is more for
correctness, since these files cannot be bmap'ed/mmap'ed anyways.
Enforce this restriction.
