sync with the implementation.  Vnode locks *are* required for these
  operations, as some underlying implementations will require them.

769e0f974d Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).

c7bf2569fa These patches implement dynamic sysctls. It's possible now to add
and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.

Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.

Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.

This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them:  Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.
