Matthew Dillon bb01f28e97 Add vfs.enable_userblk_io sysctl to control whether user reads and writes
to buffered block devices are allowed.  The default is to be backwards
    compatible, i.e. reads and writes are allowed.

    The idea is for a larger crowd to start running with this disabled and
    see what problems, if any, crop up, and then to change the default to
    off and see if any problems crop up in the next 6 months prior to
    potentially removing support entirely.  There are still a few people,
    Julian and myself included, who believe the buffered block device
    access from usermode to be useful.

    Remove use of vnode->v_lastr from buffered block device I/O in
    preparation for removal of vnode->v_lastr field, replacing it with
    the already existing seqcount metric to detect sequential operation.
